Most people know Jon Taffer as a larger-than-life television personality who takes a no-holds-barred approach to helping hotels, restaurants, bars and businesses reach their full potential.

He is also a New York Times best-selling author, a highly sought-after hospitality and general business consultant, and is the creator, executive producer and star of Paramount Network’s hit show, Bar Rescue.

For nearly four decades, Taffer has been at the forefront of the business management industry offering his expertise to hundreds of thousands of properties and Fortune 500 companies. By no surprise, studies show that Taffer is the most influential, trustworthy, and intelligent food & beverage personality on television.

Bar Rescue is now in its eighth season on the Paramount Network. Jon Taffer has led the show to account for nearly 25% of the network’s programing and over 900 million viewers. Bar Rescue spotlights Jon as he saves failing bars from looming closure, leveraging his four decades of industry experience and trademarked “Reaction Management” strategy.

Jon Taffer | Authentic Business Leadership

In 2021, the show topped the milestone of 200 episodes.This year, Jon goes head-to-head against chef Robert Irvine in an all-new, three-episode series streaming on discovery+ called Restaurant Rivals: Irvine vs. Taffer. In each hour-long episode of Restaurant Rivals, Jon Taffer and Robert put their guiding principles to the test, each using their distinct combination of tough love and sharp business acumen to help a pair of struggling restaurant owners back to profitability.

Jon Taffer latest creation is Taffer’s Tavern, an innovative, casual dining restaurant franchise concept that provides a solution for many of the woes that plague the restaurant industry. The Tavern is based on a high-volume, small footprint kitchen format that uses the latest technologies to produce elevated tavern foods and outstanding beverage offerings without the need for a traditional commercial kitchen.

The franchise’s first location opened October 2020 in Atlanta, GA, with additional multi-unit locations secured in the Atlanta, Boston, Washington, D.C., Las Vegas and Florida areas.

As an author, Jon Taffer wrote Don’t Bullsh*t Yourself, a no-nonsense guide that helps people understand and overcome the excuses holding them back from success. It became a New York Times, Los Angeles Times and Wall Street Journal best-seller in its first week of release, joining his first book, Raise the Bar, on the best-sellers list.

Jon Taffer new book on sale now, The Power of Conflict, provides readers with a toolkit to speak their mind to get the results they want.

In 2018 Jon also launched his podcast, The Jon Taffer Podcast, where he sits down with friends and well-known celebrities to discuss current events.

You’ve seen Jon transform hundreds of struggling bars and restaurants into thriving businesses on his hit television show, Bar Rescue on the Paramount Network. Now, let him bring his unprecedented business knowledge and proven profit-increasing techniques to you, in person at your company’s conference, retreat, expo or meeting. Regardless of your industry, Jon will teach you and your team his signature tactics and strategic programs—all in the name of helping you achieve his coveted “Sales Trifecta.”

As a best-selling author, international celebrity, profitability expert, sought-after business consultant and award-winning operator, Jon brings a no-holds-barred, larger-than-life, inarguably magnetic personality to any stage, venue or screen. From hiring the right team, to increasing guest frequency, to growing new customer traffic, to branding your business, Jon will cover everything business owners, executives and employees—in any industry—need to know to ensure a healthy, successful, prosperous operation. Jon’s 40+ years of diverse and hands-on experience knows no industry borders—he’s turned business operations of all kinds into money-making machines, and he’s ready to do the same for yours.
