Seriously, most of those places are going under no matter what. I think it was Anthony Bourdain in Kitchen Confidential that basically said that by the time the consultants start showing up, the restaurant is going to wrap up pretty much no matter what.

The only bar on a cruise ship that is "Cruise ship themed" is the crew bar, and the only reason to hang out there is because the drinks are a buck each.

It is unknown why the bar is closing, though its mixed beverage tax receipts with the state comptroller’s office show it was only reporting a few thousand dollars in business most months.

The bar, which has been open at least since the mid-‘90s, is a longtime official venue during South By Southwest and featured music on its inside and outside stages. Even so, its receipts for March, which is the busiest bar month of the year in Austin because of SXSW business, showed not quite $5,500 of business for the month.

Holy poo poo. They're an official SXSW location and they only managed to rake in $5,500 while that went on?

He probably just charges the owners for whatever renos he does; isn't that pretty much the restaurant consultant business model anyway?

Here's a thing Taffer wrote about consulting fees - http://m.nightclub.com/q-what-average-management-fee-a-barrestaurant-consultant

So just to get him to look at your poo poo, you're looking at five figures. He's probably not rescuing the kind of indebted shitholes we see on the show.

There's percentage based fees afterwards, but just the first look and set up is 10-50k. I'm fairly sure that comes without any guarantees, but obviously his customers aren't the shirts how's we've seen on the show, there's no way Piratez could have shelled out 10k... And if they had they might have given it a fair try.

It's similar to how consulting works in other industries as well, except most of them bill hourly. Generally if you can afford to hire a consulting firm to pull you out of trouble, you ain't in that much trouble yet.
