- There's better, quicker systems out there,
that we could have here.
- Well, tough shit.
- Here's DJ.
- What a jerk. - (Amy) Ooh.
- DJ bought this bar five years ago.
Now he's losing over 5,000 a month.
He's 180,000 in debt now.
He has about enough money, if he's lucky,
to make it about six months.
And then he's done.
And here's the worst part.
DJ has a daughter, named Leia, and Leia's 10 years old.
DJ wants nothing more, than to pass this business
on to his daughter.
DJ's ex-wife, Tammy, owns half the bar,
and word has it, she doesn't come around much anymore.
Because DJ doesn't allow her to take ownership of anything.
Could you imagine owning a bar, 50,50 with your ex-husband?
- I cannot.
- Here's fries, but they put cheese on 'em.
- So there's Tommy.
Tommy's the bar manager.
- Yeah, I've never made this,
or at least I don't remember it.
- There's Trina, Trina's a bartender.
- Oh what (beep) is that with?
- There's Victoria, Amy.
- I need a drink.
- Another bartender.
- Where does this go? - Out to Tommy.
- To Tommy? - (James) Yeah.
- Okay. - There's Roxy,
she's a waitress.
There's Heather, a waitress.
- Okay, got it.
- And there's James, Chef.
He's your cook.
(bar chatter)
- Yes sir?
- Can I get another one? - Yes, sir.
- Ohhh, so here we go.
(bottles clinking)
(liquid on ice)
- [Jo] Can you manage to pour
that way? - [Amy] No.
- [Jon] How does he make money here?
Well, it's obvious over pouring is an issue,
but DJ wouldn't know that because he's not here.
Where the hell is he?
Look at this place.
Pretty big.
- Yeah.
His clientele is odd.
- So you noticed there's no single girls there.
So Amy, have you ever see a nightclub without women succeed?
- (laughs) No.
- So we're looking at a decent bar, with a decent location,
with a decent outside, with a decent floor plan.
That doesn't look so terrible when we look at it here.
Why the hell is it failing?
When everything else
is decent, then the human factors not.
- Right.
- So this has to be a bar plagued by leadership issues.
- Yeah.
- What I'd like to do is, I'd like to send you in alone.
To do recon here.
(Amy laughs enjoyably)
I'd love you to sit at the bar
- [Amy] Okay.
- Order a drink.
Order some food.
And let's see, do the employees pay attention
to you, or not?
Do they make you as was woman, feel important there, or not?
- [Amy] Yeah.
- 'Cause if it doesn't feel right, we gotta start there.
- Okay.
(fast paced, breezy beats)
(door slams)
- Now if you own this bar and Amy came
in the room, wouldn't you go out of your way
to make sure she felt comfortable?
- Yeah, I would, I would.
It makes perfect sense why you would.
She's a single girl.
That draws in the men, I would
especially make sure she felt comfortable.
- Twenty Amy's.
- Yeah.
- And we're good to go.
- You'd have 80 men
with 20 Amy's. - Absolutely.
- You know.
- And she's like
the perfect customer. - Perfect, right?
- [Victoria] Hey, how can I help you?
- A menu.
- Let me see if I have one back here.
- So Amy looks like she's sort of fits.
- Yeah, Yeah. - She could be
just another customer.
- Local.
- No, no drink.
- Oh okay, you don't have a drink menu?
- No, no drink.
- Can you make like a Manhattan?
- I don't have sweet vermouth.
(slow, steady beats)
- We got cocktails that a really not targeting women at all.
Is this the anti-girl bar?
- I mean, this is doomed to get women in the door.
- Can I get a gimlet?
- A gimlet?
- Yeah.
- Gimlet is a two-ingredient drink.
- As simple as it gets.
- A gimlet is just vodka and orange juice, right?
- Umm, (bleep).
DJ, I'll detect.
What's a gimlet again? - [DJ] Huh?
- [Tommy] A giblet, a gimlet.
- Gimlet?
Ahh, (bleep) I don't remember, uh.
- Now I can't make up anything (bleep) else.
- Look it up.
That's what I do if I can't remember.
- DJ doesn't know.
Now this is the third employee involved
in this gimlet Jason.
(liquid, ice, steel mingling)
(spurting soda)
- Soda water? - Oh, you're gonna put soda
in a gimlet?
- [Amy] I wanna get something to eat too.
What do you recommend?
- I like the wings.
- Cool, I'll get the wings.
- Okay, wait.
(bar chatter)
- Oh my God, so strong.
- They have no idea what they're doing.
And DJ is just back in the kitchen, playing with limes.
(clock ticking)
Do you see any cooking equipment?
- [James] I don't.
- All there is, is the cheap, tiny little deep fryer.
This is a big space.
So they got that big bar.
And the big nightclub.
And that's the only piece of cooking equipment.
So Jason, what would happen if they ordered three items
at the same time?
- They'd have to make them one at a time
and people would be waiting a very long time for their food.
(steady, rhythmic beats)
- [James] Oh. (bleep)
- Look at these chicken wings, it looks like
in a pail and he's swirling around
and one wing just flipped up, back to the floor.
I think these are gonna be Amy's wings, too.
- Well, I guess wings are supposed to fly, right?
- Yeah. (laughs)
- [Jon] Now we have nachos.
- I can look at this food and tell that in the kitchen,
they don't give a damn.
(Jon blows through teeth)
(fast, pulsating beats)
- What are they doing Chef?
- You would think they are splitting the atom
with how much work they're putting into this.
- [Jon] Look at the cutting board Chef.
- Cutting board, no gloves, there's rock shaking
on this cutting board, with his knife,
with his towel. - All over his hands.
All over the hands.
- Oh my God.
I'm curious where his hands go next.
(lingering drum tone)
So he's touching chips now
with his raw chicken and beef hands.
- Covered in chicken, and this is all happening right
in front of DJ.
- Oh man.
- [Jon] Okay, now he's got chicken all over everything.
(medium intensity bang)
- That's are actually yours.
See, your chicken nachos.
- (Victoria) Chicken nachos?
- Uh.
- He's sending out raw food with that.
We gotta stop this Chef.
(doors cracking open)
(slow steady beats)
In all my years, I've rarely seen such gross negligence
as I see in this kitchen.
I'm gonna go in and give DJ a few choice words.
