So the caption would need to be: "When you're on coke and H at your maximum wage chair sitting job and you see Gordon Ramsay walk in with a camera crew"

"And you forgot you invited them hoping that the ratings will make your restaurant famous and you'll become rich as fuck"

The majority ended up failing, so I heard

They are already on their death bed when Gordon comes in.

Restaurants fails all the time with competent people. Imagine a restaurant being run by a dumbass.

Not disputing that, just the claim that they get him in for attention and money

Some might, but yeah as you said the success rate was pretty darn low. Even in the show when he visits back it's usually gone back to shit as soon as he leaves.

Majority of restaurants fail, period

At least in the US series there are basically zero success stories in 6 seasons of the show. Even the best ones end up out of business a few years later.

Running a restaurant is a paradox. It's sort of easy to get into because the turnover is so high, but even if you end up having success it's extremely hard to sustain that over decades.
