Manager Communication:  I have placed a 12 quart cambro with a lid on top of the ice machine all the way to the right. It has to-go containers in it. It is labeled to remind folks that they are for guests only and that the lid must stay on. -LB I counted the batches of special drinks and went to edit the spreadsheets but it wouldn't let me edit them. I have the numbers and will make sure I can access and update them tomorrow - but for reference, the remaining liters of each drink are -  By Hook/Crook = 6.75L remaining Beautiful Thing = 5L remaining Emerging Artist = 2L remaining Screaming Queens = 1L remaining And we sold a count of 19 Quince and Juniper Sodas. - IP Customer Comments: Okay so lots of issues today with QR code tabs. Two folks could not close out but also had issues not getting items. The first gentleman ordered a burger, that had lit up green and never got it in a three hour movie and said nothing. I voided it, he refreshed and his bill was the same on his pho...

Manager Communication: Gus stopped by to go over Newfest protocol with Ian and I. Ordering needs for the week, feeling totally ready. Vibes are good over here.-LB Newfest is bringing the heat! Screenings and general gathering in Trees lounge kept the place hopping all night. Nathan Fielder doc fully sold out all day on top of it - we are cooking with gas. Tomorrow night is gonna go great - wonderful prep by Lauren and Tevon today. Going to make tomorrow night a breeze. - IP Customer Comments: The crowd for Newfest tonight was super polite and really easy going. Happy to have them any time. -IP BAR Staff Observations: Tevon is excellent anywhere you put him. He crushed a big Newfest batch list and then handled a very busy lobby shift all night solo. Lydia, Greg and Patrick had a full Trees lounge practically all night. They did great - this group in particular could use a little more hustle with glassware, but they wre very focused on guest facing service - which we love!! - IP Prep L...

Manager Communication: Easy Open. Wyatt and I took care of things. It is cold at Trees now that the wind is picking up. Might need to switch over to heat possibly, but I know the weather is wonky with the sun and people etc. I put away all the mugs, now I will put them back. I found one box, I think I put away two, but will try to locate tomorrow if anyone remembers June because I do not.-LB The grate under the ice machine at trees collapsed into the drain. I noticed it when finishing up. I pulled it out to put it back but the drain is gross. I will give it a go tomorrow but I am too tired to do more deep cleans tonight.-LB Customer Comments: A bunch of people thought there was a bday party in Trees. There wasn't, but odd that it happened multiple times. BAR Staff Observations: Matthew is such a beast. FOH Staff Observations: Fiona was really crushing it today Hiring/Training: Sick Leave/ Call outs: Special Events? Staff Meeting Agenda notes:  86ed / counts on items: Prep List:...

Manager Communication: Saturday mornings. Classic. Rebecca & I rocked it out -G It got really cold tonight in the mid-40s. I turned on the entry way heaters because Christine asked me to since Jeshua was cold. The exit doors were fine, did not smell, but the entryway doors were very rank so I turned them off. Probably a vacuum would be enough. But smelled like a hairdryer full of dead pine needles. I broke out the space heaters for lobby bar.-LB The spotify iPad at Trees is not connected to the internet now, if that could be addressed. Only downloaded playlists are working-LB Customer Comments: Had a bday party for a 1 year old. Matthew handled like a champ. There were a lot of them. Filled the place up early- was great. Order #5qgm7kk  This ticket says employee pass, that is because they booked under a BOGO Code and wanted to move seats. BAR Staff Observations: Greg & Matthew rocked. Natasha clocked in 10 mins late. Her explanation was that she got here, said hello to peo...

Manager Communication: Battening down the hatches for the Nathan Fielder Doc. Not ideal to be down a bartender, but if you're going to have three bodies at Trees, the ones you want are Tevon, Matthew and Natasha. Weather is also gross today, so we can expect the smaller theaters to grow. Gonna be a busy one. - IP Holy cow the drink rushes for back to back sold out 1/2 showings really just go on and on and on... The 1/2 rush for the dinner round lasted 90+ minutes - non-stop tickets the whole time. Bar team was INCREDIBLE. Ariel jumped right into service and helped knockout the last half hour or so of the rush - absolutely clutch. - IP We was nice and poppin' homies. The You Can See Everything doc has people drinking nonstop... which is fresh. We were busy but I was still able to cut Matthew and Tevon before 10:00 PM (Keepin' em under 9 hours) and I rocked out some of the late rush in Tree's. - AB2 I am a fan of the metal bars in Tree's for servers to write table nu...

Manager Communication:  Easygoing evening, with Kevin Geeks Out being the biggest service pop of the night.  Looks like a good night to rest up, as You Can See Everything is has already sold out three big theater screenings tomorrow. JH Customer Comments:  Not many this afternoon BAR Staff Observations:  Gus put in some major work on Newfest items before I even got in at 11. - ip Very mellow evening.  Greg got out of here once Natasha got in, and Matthew stuck around to help with the Kevin Geeks Out crowd that fills up Trees before and after the show.  Got pretty sleepy around10:30~, and both Jeshua + Natasha closed each bar without issue. JH FOH Staff Observations:  Evan is cool and was in a good mood. Sick Leave/ Call outs:  None Prep List:  Special for Newfest, Syrup for Newfest special, Juniper syrup x4, ice tea concentrate x2 I made 6x Lemonade + Simple Syrup.  I left a batch list for Matthew on the whiteboard.
