NPP Bar Blog

It appears that somebody published this blog a little bit earlier.  I wasn't done with my notes, so this is the updated, complete version. JH Manager Communication:  I think we should redo the merch cabinet to draw eyes over there. I am happy to do it with someone.-LB I cleaned all the frozen machines at Trees, I did not get to the bubblers. Will see if Jenn can do them closing. Gus is gonna hit lobby tomorrow.-LB  Easygoing Wednesday night compared to the last few weeks, and Trees had a decent amount of small groups throughout the day.  We were unable to clean the bubblers this evening, but I'm sure we can get to it tomorrow with two closers at Trees. JH   BAR Staff Observations:   Matthew is giving up his shift to Natasha tomorrow, she will arrive at 7pm which is fine since Jeshua is also working since there is the USA game at 10pm and the drag show.-LB  Gabrielle was able to get out of here shortly after 8:30pm, with the second round winding down an...

Manager Communication:  The plan is to run out the large format FWWM and then go back to the old recipe. So We will use up the Perfect puree we have them back to Boiron.-LB Customer Comments: Trivia was excellent tonight. It was a heavy World Cup crowd that went right into trivia. We love to see it. BAR Staff Observations: Darius is very impressive when doing trivia. He has such command of the space. FOH Staff Observations: Servers were very helpful tonight.  Hiring/Training: None Sick Leave/ Call outs: None Special Events? trivia.  Staff Meeting Agenda notes: 86ed / counts on items: N Prep List: R&D comp checks: $35.00 spillage, moldy tops on batches in walk-in Over/Short on Banks: Pay Outs: Lost & Found?: Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: Baldor came.

Manager Communication:  There was a syringe in the men's room bathroom in lobby this morning. Ryan told me and I removed it with gloves. Tevon said "New York is back."-LB I pulled the Irish Coffee fancy mugs and boxed them for storage until winter. We have a lot of mugs and could use the room for summer use glassware.-LB BAR Staff Observations:  Was able to get Tevon out of here after both bars got a restock after the second round settled.  Patrick held down Trees, only needing me to help out at the service pass around 8:30pm when the last round of Th2 was in their initial service push.  Lydia sailed through their lobby shift and was able to get out of here shortly after I routed the first floor at 10:30pm. JH FOH Staff Observations:  Just wanted to shout out Jovani.  We weren't slammed at Trees, but we definitely did get busy.  She is always so quick to either step in and run trays for theaters other than her own, and if I ever need any help or someon...

Manager Communication: Wyatt and I opened up the building, got prepared for the flood of all-ages crowds. - IP Theaters were very busy but Trees was quiet all day. Hopefully we can get the openers out of here nice and early. - IP Trees picked up in the afternoon as it does on Sunday. Nice vibes.-LB One of the Trees napkin/straw holders broke. If anyone knows where it was sourced could not find replacement on Webstaurant. Will take one from Lobby bar for now. I brought down one of the Grey goose napkin holders from Trees.-LB I made a little frame with the special for the Gansett and the world cup so we can sell them.-LB Rebecca, the batch list for Tevon is on the white board. -LB Customer Comments:   BAR Staff Observations: Matt and Tevon opened up and we got Danny coming in before things start popping off. - IP The Sunday crew is really gelling. Love having Darius on the ground floor. Duan had really settled in to knowing Nitehawk's groove. Danny feels like he has been here ...

Manager Communication: It may be time to post the bathrooms for customers only on the doors again with all the BRIC and park action now. Also, maybe a second soap dispenser in the lobby ladies so that if one is empty.-LB Customer Comments:  BAR Staff Observations: It was Duan's first time doing a Lobby brunch open since training, so myself and Matthew made sure to check in with him before doors about anything he felt unsure on.  I told him to call me for any questions ir issues, but he honestly sailed through the first two rounds solo with only one or two walkie calls.  Really held it down solo. Matthew opened Trees well stocked, and gave me a list of what he would like behind the bar once I caught up on batching.  After Tevon got in and they got through the bulk of the second round, Matthew went and did a big restock to get Trees prepped for the later rounds. JH Got Matthew and Duan out of here just after 4:45pm/5pm Great teamwork today.  Business at Trees but ...

Manager Communication: I taped the World Cup schedule up at the bar near the pass where the cocktail specs and stuff are. The ones highlighted have passed. Use this as a reference when playing any games. - AB2 World Cup kept Trees buzzin' all night. Theaters were rockin'. Becca and Wyatt were patrolling the theaters and I was stationed at Trees to help out wherever needed. Glassware got backed up pretty regularly - not sure if this can be curtailed be more diligent pre-bussing, but we got through it with no adverse affect on service. - IP Customer Comments: Tree's had a nice crowd for the USA game. Perfect for business. They just chill and eat and drink. It's paced nicely and Matthew/Knibbs killed it through that and the busy big theaters with no hiccups at all. - AB2 BAR Staff Observations: The WC matches kept the bar very busy and the theaters were basically all sold out for most of the evening. Matthew and Tevon were in at 10a this morning, so I did my best to get th...
