Because bars are easy mode.
You’ve got to be a special level of retard to make a fucking bar fail.
If you offer alcohol, and an okay-enough place in which to sit and drink it, you’ll make money. The idiots on bar rescue mostly seemed to be retarded about wanting to run some sort of fantasy bar they had in their head instead of a bar that worked with the local customer base. Don’t try to force a “classy” bar in a blue collar area.

The cooks on Kitchen Nightmares are always either illegal immigrants or what seems like ex convicts. The owners can't afford or don't want to pay someone who actually knows what they're doing, so they're stuck with mediocre workers who wouldn't be able to make the revamped menus if their lives depended on it.

Gordon always revamps the restaurant/menu in a way that HE would be able to run successfully, not to the capabilities of the people actually running it. So they'll do the menu for three days after he leaves, realize they actually have to pay someone to prep the food and make it consistently, and that's just not going to happen most of the time.

In bars the focus is on boose. In restaurants the focus is food.

>> No.17484117

Alcohol has much higher margins then food. Also people that start bars tend to know their product and what their customers want, even if their business sense isn't the greatest. Watching Kitchen Nightmares a lot of times the restaurant owners were either completely retarded or delusional and didn't know anything about food or how to run a kitchen.

It's nearly impossible to shut a bar down for good.
One of the shittiest bars in my town has had multiple killings take place inside, has been shut down temporarily four times for serving alcohol to minors, hasn't renovated in decades, was lit on fir at least twice that I remember, has fuck all for selection, and has been turning a profit for over 40 years.
I am convinced that it will still be operating when I die.

idk about everywhere but where i live a liquor license is like a golden ticket because they are so hard to get, pretty much anybody will invest in your bar for a chance to get a hold of that license and you can just leap frogging from one investor to the next

APPARENTLY, having a coked out asshole yell at you and your staff for a few days doesn't improve things...

Plenty do not.
I’d argue that most “real” bars do not have an actual kitchen.
They might sell some sort of food, but it’s often due to some states having laws that a bar must sell some sort of food.
That’s why so many dive bars will have chips and whatnot for sale.
The minute you start having a full kitchen and offering actual cooked items, then you’re running a bar/restaurant. That’s where people will fuck up. Especially if they try to go hard with the food; then it’s practically just a restaurant that happens to have a bar in it.
Operating a kitchen adds all sorts of expense and complexity plus a pile of regulations to comply with.
It really is almost impossible to fuck up a bar. Where people fuck up are the non-bar things they try to add to the bar. Profit margin on serving alcohol is massive. There’s very little product loss because spirits don’t go bad, and if your beer distributor is worth a shit he’ll know what sells well in your area so you shouldn’t have beer getting old either.
If someone manages to fuck up an actual bar, it’s usually due to shit like employee theft, or the owner treating it more like a party-pad than a business and overpaying for live entertainment, giving tons of free shit to friends and hot girls, etc.
