Manager Communication: Wyatt and I opened. Was able to replenish the walk-in and get some menu-change tasks done before the first round popped off. - IP I went into bar storage to try and reorganize. I put the pad for pool table back up. I folded the cover and put it on top of the boxes for table clothes. I will email Chenelle about a little reorg maybe Tuesday. -LB Tevon batched the black manhattan keg in the wrong type of keg. Ariel can we pour it into the correct keg tomorrow together.  Otherwise we can't tap that one. -LB Customer Comments: A bottle of the Carignan had jagged glass on the top after Jeshua served it so we swapped the guests glass out. She had a sip but I was just being cautious and the glass would have sank. I rang the dumped bottle into Spillage. -LB    BAR Staff Observations: Today's brunch and day time service was rather tame compared to yesterday, sounds like. I made sure that Greg and Nat were both extra prepared with glassware, and they crushed...

  Manager Communication:  I would really love to order some inner ear piece headsets. I can barely hear anything when I am at Trees and that is where I am stationed most of the loudest and busiest days. -LB Ian I did not get to put things away properly in bar storage, the pool table cover and the mat that covers it. There is a lot of stuff that is going to be picked up tomorrow. There are about 6 Trees stools trapped behind a bunch of stuff.  The internet was extremely unreliable tonight and I am sure these notes will get erased.-LB Today was a non-stop service forward evening. Everyone doing the most.  It is very hard to keep up a pace like this. -LB The party was a lovely success. We should do more theme parties.-LB Customer Comments: BAR Staff Observations: Charlie started jumping ahead on tickets when we decided to pause to let the theater catch up. just another fine point for him to understand when I am at expo, listening is critical. His listening has been way...

Manager Communication: Jenn on inventory, I opened, Ariel closing -GS BAR Staff Observations: Charlie opened. Jenn warned him we had some heavily sold shows for kids movies and to have plenty of lemonade on hand. He learned the hard way. -GS We were not well prepared today. Matthew made it a point to mention to Charlie that needs to bring glass racks up at the beginning of the opening shift to make service smooth. He did not take it the best. Matthew was kind in his delivery but I think that we need to be more on Charlie when it comes to what to prep for Fridays. It is important that everyone is setup for success coming into their shift. Fridays constantly feel like we are playing catch up at all times. Matthew ends up having to bring everything up and do the restock on top of carrying the load of doing all theaters tickets during the rush and helping a section of guests because Charlie is unable to multi task. He can only manage one guest at a time and is slow. With Fridays now bein...

Manager Communication: I ordered some of the seal tight cambro lids that the Ritz carlton had on their cambro so we have a wider use of non spill containers for our massive cambro stockpile to use for restocks and to keep the walk in spill free. -LB Well we are fully packed out from the Jaws event. I pinged Ricky, Sarah, and Jopus from the Ritz to grab their stuff.  There is a Midori box, a Milagro box, a big styrofoam cooler, a black milk crate. and three tote bags (Sarah's).  They are tucked behind the liquor room door on the shelf but also on the floor right there since there is no room and the boxes are all very heavy. -LB Ricky (from Singani) did not come in today and all these boxes are still in the Liquor room. I'll keep my eyes peeled for him tomorrow. - AB2 BAR Staff Observations: Gabrielle and Charlie's shifts were swapped for tomorrow. They both are well aware. Gabrielle will close Lobby and Charlie will Open Tree's. - AB2 Prep List: I made a 4x batch of Butt...

Manager Communication:  Jaws was the biggest pop we had all night, but Trees hosted a decent crowd throughout the third round screenings. JH BAR Staff Observations:  Wednesday Singani team keeps on winning.  Since we had the visiting bartenders were taking care of the Nubeluz drink, we actually did not need to hold onto Tevon throughout the happy hour and he was able to get out of here a little early.  Gabrielle and Matthew worked through the Th1 rush, with me on garnish.  Once the bar was reset and restocked,  Jaws was almost letting out, so Matthew stuck around an extra ten minutes to help Gabrielle with that first wave of post-screening guests.  Jeshua held down lobby without any issues, and both he and Gabrielle closed each bar without issue. JH FOH Staff Observations: Just wanted to shout out Kyah for always being so on top of communicating theater or guest needs to the bar, and always paying attention during preshifts. JH    Special E...

Manager Communication: Ricky from Singani and Jopas from the Ritz Carlton came by with their glassware, batch and equipment. We are ready to roll tomorrow. Jenn is coming in at 4pm tomorrow so we can be sure to rock the event in full swing. -LB Customer Comments: Bar and Trivia regular and director of forthcoming Hulu film "Mike and Nick and Nick and Alice",  (starring Vince Vaughn and James Marsden) Bendavid Grabinksi did the guest round and said, "I have been to a lot of movie trivia and this one is easily the best." - great job, team! BAR Staff Observations: Lydia kept their cool today during a visit with an unwanted guest. I happened to be there and I called in Jared after he said he wanted to choke us. Happy St. Patrick's day to all those who celebrate.-LB Lydia swung up to help with the initial push of Trivia and once things got rolling they headed out. Greg held down a chill lobby, and Darius, Tevon and Patrick absolutely bodied Trivia. - IP FOH Staff Ob...
