A new low - Bikini's CEO Doug Guller

The perve-y CEO Doug Guller helped create some new lows.

- The degenerate CEO Doug Guller fires the only employee with an ounce of self-respect for not being "passionate" about a position that involves being constantly demeaned and objectified and working for a sleazy company that doesn't even have health coverage or follow minimal work standards.

- The dooshbag CEO Doug Guller takes credit for some of the lamest and most derivative training acronyms since "Office Space".

- The duplicitious CEO Doug Guller even reduces his future wife to a lame acronym "FMG" apparently stands for "Future Mrs Guller". Somehow the female population of earth has so far resisted his "charm".

- The cheeseball CEO Doug Guller thinks his greasepot menu is fine cuisine and that an order of 10 wings is a busy kitchen.

- The moronic CEO Doug Guller's biggest idea is using social media to recruit employees, failing to realize every other company thought of that 10 years ago.

- The oblivious CEO Doug Guller thinking $25 million annual revenue is somehow large for a restaurant chain.

- The knuckle-dragging CEO Doug Guller thinking he's a hero for one-offing a manager's health insurance when all but the most bottom feeding companies in America already provide coverage.

- The sexually-repressed CEO Doug Guller extorting 6 months of job performance from a perfectly healthy body girl in exchange for a boob job.

- The socially-inept CEO Doug Guller offending customers with his awkward and insulting remarks - like how working people coming for lunch must just be "starting their day".

- The creeptastic CEO Doug Guller fawning over the idea of an employee using a hula hoop.

I was disgusted and repulsed by this fool pretending to be a CEO. What an amazingly clueless tool.

[–] opal-9 10 years ago

He is so disgusting.

He is waiting for a sexual harassment suite for sure. His breastastic waitstaff will probably lob some claims making Bill Cosby look like the 80s version of Bill Cosby we had of him wearing sweaters and the worst thing to come out of his mouth was chocolate Jell-O pudding.

You are right it was a really disgusting episode. A decent guy would have told the waitress "hey, you don't need breast enhancement surgery, you are perfect the way you are." But then a decent man wouldn't own a restaurant that requires waitresses to be scantily clad.

the feminist groups will be all over him for this. I honestly couldn't believe he was bribing his employee with a boob job with the condition she has to work real hard for 6 months. With his sleazy ways you wonder if he isn't expecting more than just hard work from her but some personal one on one time if you know what I mean. Guy seems like a creep and he isn't married so you know he is using the "Hey, I'm the CEO so if you help me out, I can help you go far in this company". The guy is a sleazy douchebag.

Thank you for posting this, I enjoyed it greatly! I missed the beginning of the episode and only watched from Jessica (the fired girl) on. I was overall disgusted with the company and the "boss" and that was before reading the (even worse) details that you just mentioned from the beginning. How many Bikini's are there?

I would avoid anything this dickwad is involved in. Here's a link to ATX Brands which Guller is attached to:

This Doug Geller clown thinks he has revolutionized hot girls in restaurants somehow. He is recycling the formula that Hooters had since the 80s. This guy is clueless.

[–] scorp123-1 10 years ago

Great post.

What a piece of work. Yeah, I actually chuckled when he told the poor manager that she now has health insurance as of "4 days ago". So this manager has been working there for years, and only now you offer her insurance?? You "promote" someone to a position of more responsibility, and you don't bump their pay a dime??

Who wants to bet that supervisor dude was making $10/hr, and his 30% raise was really to $13/hr?? Sounds like his restaurants pay *beep*

~I would agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong~

Jessica may be a bartender where she has to show her boobs but is looking for a better job. She has the right to wear a t-shirt on the day a tv crew is recording her. She might not want all of America seeing her jiggling to make ends meet. She shouldn't have cried when she got fired and told the owner to shove the job up his....So now Jessica is the hero of the show and the ceo is a douche

[–] hrhppg-1 10 years ago

The guy is trash. I can't believe he would waste her time to bring her back just to fire her on TV when it could have been done via her manager far from cameras.

[–] scarlettsdad 10 years ago

I was put off by this guy within the first two minutes. Even the Hooters CEO was a decent enough guy. But instead of wondering what could be changed to make her workplace more agreeable to the bartender, he fires and humiliates her on national television. I'm not even sure that's legal. In any case, I agree that this episode did nothing to help create business for his "breasteraunt. " He was a pompous, sexist, egotistical pig...and I'm a man saying this. If I'd ever considered going to the Bikinis here in San Antonio my mind has been made for sure now.

[–] knickstorm 10 years ago

yup i mean I'm still trying to figure what he exactly did for these people.

Provide health insurance to an employee who's a manager?!!?
Give a raise to the kitchen supervisor who got promoted without one??

Ohh yea he doesn't have a dishwasher, but even so, you're expected to make the wings, then turn around and wash the plates?? No wonder he never makes it to his grandkid's events.

Even that positive manager with the stellar attitude can't hang onto employees.

[–] wheelin176 10 years ago

The CEO of Hooters has 3 daughters. He disapproved of the way one of the managers was treating the waitresses. I remember him saying he wouldn't want his daughters treated like that.

Grands...Glad to see you come and glad to see you go

[–] pineywoodsmiss 10 years ago

I wonder if the CEO of Hooters would want his daughters waitressing there?

Piney

[–] wheelin176 10 years ago

Good question.

Grands...Glad to see you come and glad to see you go

[–] underwearbandit 10 years ago

don't be dumb, of course he wouldn't want his daughters working there. But he would want to see some other guys daughter in skimpy clothes serving him. That's just how men are.

[–] captaincarney 9 years ago

I wonder if the CEO of Hooters would want his daughters waitressing there?

In that particular Season 1 episode, he said he would have no problem with the daughters working for Hooters. But he would not want them working under that immature & sexist manager who he reprimanded at the end of the episode. Obviously he thought it serious enough to immediately contact the board.

[–] MichaelMovieLoft 10 years ago

Even the Hooters CEO was a decent enough guy.

Yes he was. I think the difference between Coby Brooks and Doug Guller is that Coby sincerely wanted to see how his business ran. He inherited it from his father and was always worried if he was living up to the expectations his father. And he was shocked when that manager treated his waitstaff terribly by making them play his "reindeer games" (He should have reprimanded the guy rather than giving him a slap on the wrist though). Brooks treated the women he met on his journey with respect, and even found it illuminating meeting a female manager for a franchise. Guller is just a clueless pig. Many of those decisions he made were a case of bad business practice and lacked diplomacy as well as tact.

I haven't watched the whole episode yet but 1 thing I have to say about him is he is straight forward on his company's concept. I also don't see anything wrong with it. Girls serving customers in a bar with bikinis on brings customers through the door. It's their choice to work there and I'm sure they do pretty well with tips. It's not like they are naked or doing sexual favors like at a titty bar. I surely wouldn't go there just because girls had bikinis on. They would have to have good food. I think I have been to Hooters 3 times and 1 time was just for a carry out.

I mainly came on here to comment about the drunk guy at the bar. That was so fake and scripted and I'd bet the bartender was an actress also. I have been to a lot of bars and have never seen anyone drinking double shots of whiskey and tell the bartender to just keep them coming 1 after another. The show used to be really good but after a season or 2 everything is so scripted now. They had no choice because everyone knows about the show now.

The CEO's always look so damn ridiculous. I don't understand a show like this not being able to make the CEO's hair and such look more real. Even though I know it's all BS now I still like it enough to watch. It's so ridiculous at times it's hilarious. I was wondering how they would have a 2nd season and now they are on season 6. If it makes it to season 7 I will be surprised.

[–] neerood 10 years ago

Yes, the writers probably collaborated with Bikinis on what kind of fake "crisis" they could show, and in this case, it was have a fifth rate actor pretend to be overly drunk and demanding.

Do viewers even ask themselves how it is that the "drunk" happened to be wearing a production wireless microphone? No? Ok then, just carry on watching blatant fakery.

I've seen people shoot themselves in the foot before, this guy did it with a cannon.

[–] jgroub 10 years ago

Thanks for posting this. This guy is a low-down scumbag.

I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.
