Why a specialist

General advisors rarely know this industry.

Gentlemen’s clubs, cabarets and strip clubs operate under constraints most consultants and agencies never encounter: jurisdiction-specific regulation, restricted advertising channels, specialized payment requirements, and a narrow field of suitable vendors.

Cabaret Ninjas brings cross-functional expertise—strategy, brand, marketing, technology, and operations—to that reality, so owners can work with one partner who understands how the pieces connect.

The team

Three specialists. One business partner.

Cabaret Ninjas brings together marketing, operations, and ownership strategy—the three disciplines every successful venue depends on.

30+ years

Johnnie Tor

Strategy & Ownership Advisory

Johnnie Tor has spent three decades inside this industry—not observing it, but owning it. As the former owner of multiple venues, he has made every decision an owner faces, from acquisition and financing to turnaround and exit, and he carries the scars and the wins to prove it. Today he is the advisor owners call when the stakes are highest: the head coach brought in to set the vision, marshal the capital, and get an entire organization executing against a single strategy. His network of investors, operators, and industry relationships—built over thirty years—opens doors that simply aren't available to most owners.

— Ownership & investment strategy
— Capital network & deal structure
— Turnarounds, growth & exits

Ben Bak

Operations

Ben Bak is the operational backbone of Cabaret Ninjas. Over twenty years he has run every function that determines whether a night succeeds or fails: food and beverage programs, service standards, security operations, vendor management, technology infrastructure, and the coordination of local and state permitting and compliance requirements alongside your licensed counsel. Ben doesn't theorize about operations—he builds the systems, trains the teams, and installs the accountability that keep a venue running flawlessly long after the consultants have left. When the doors open, his fingerprints are on everything that works.
