The show was previously featured on Food Network from 2011 to 2016. The show rebounded on April 20, 2019, after 3 years pause.

Restaurant Impossible Where Are They Now?

Restaurant Impossible hotels, 105 of them are open, 124 are closed and 6 are sold now. These were all consulted by Robert Irvine on the show.

The core agenda of this series is that Irvine modernizes a declining American restaurant with the aim of helping to re-instate it to success and a certain great height.

The task must be completed within two days and under a budget of $10,000.

After finding the issues with the restaurant, Irvine prepares a plan accordingly. He changes the decor, updates sanitation, improves food, changes the menu, develops strategies, and educates the chef and staff.

Irvine is accompanied by a designer or sometimes two, including a general contractor who rarely performs both duties of the general contractor as well as designer.
