Don't Get Caught With Your Pants Down!!

Chris Jordan Episode 5

In this episode, we dive deep into the side of bar and bar/restaurant ownership that nobody warns you about. From unexpected expenses to shocking delays, surprise inspections, last-minute repairs, contractor hold-ups, and the nonstop curveballs that drain both your wallet and your patience—this is the raw truth behind opening and operating in the hospitality industry.

We break down the real numbers, the real setbacks, and the real moments that make owners question everything… and why pushing through them is the difference between failure and success. If you’ve ever dreamed of opening your own bar or restaurant, or you’re already in the trenches, this episode will open your eyes to the realities behind the grand opening sign.
