Saturday 08.22.2026 Ian & AB2

Manager Communication: Opened up with Wyatt. Bar was beautifully set from last night. Full staff, ready to rock. Got the cat coloring books stacked up at the box office for CatVideoFest guests. - IP Today was pretty slow for the most part, compared to the peak of Spider-Man season. I do not think we need 7 bartenders on a Saturday. We would have been cruising without one today. Maybe once we are crazy busy again like for DUNESDAY (12.18) we can go back to it but I do not think we will need 7 for a bit. - AB2 We brought out the cans of High Life today. I made sure everyone knew that this was temporary but y'all will probably get asked a lot just an FYI. - AB2 BAR Staff Observations: Matt and Sam opened up to a blessedly chill first round. Natasha let me know around 11:30 that she was likely to be late. She followed up at 12:15 that her ETA was now 12:55. As of writing this at 1:10, she has yet to arrive. As her scheduled in-time was 12:30, a written warning is necessitated. - IP N...

Friday 08.21.26 Jenn/Ariel

Customer Comments: For the last round in TH5 (End of Oak street) we got a walkie call from Siete to kick out a couple guests. Guests complained that this couple had been vaping, jacking off, and doing all types of nasty with one another. Dwight found the couple (They were at 5303) and asked them to leave. Wyatt and I met them at the door and told them it was time to leave. I walked them to the lobby and closed out their tab. A little after, one of the couples that complained, asked to be refunded so I helped them out at Filmbot, gave them a couple of passes, and gave them a round at Tree's because they hung out at the bar afterwards. Wyatt spoke with the other couple that was on the other side. More on that in the FOH blog. - AB2 BAR Staff Observations: Homies killed it tonight. Duan and Natasha rocked out Tree's with no issues. Gabrielle killed Lobby solo. I got Matthew out early and Tevon after everything settled down and everyone was well stocked and in a good place. - AB2 H...

Thursday 8/20/2026 Ian/Gus/Jenn

Manager Communication: Got in and got the Classified Colada chamber all cleaned and reset to Frozen Coke. Did a thorough reset of the mezzanine this morning to make sure there was nothing that needed major attention before the event tonight (there wasn't). I was able to juice a whole case of naked GF and threw together another keg of GF Soda that will be charged by 5:45 tonight. Gus and I have everything squared away for the party and we'll be ready to rock later this evening! - IP Customer Comments: Had a guest come to lobby after watching the 5:15pm Odyssey screening in Th 4 concerned that we had shown a digital print instead of the 35mm scheduled.  She noted some issues with certain shots were it appeared portions of the screen were pixelated.  She wasn't overly upset, moreso wanting to confirm whether or not her screening had been 35mm.  I reached out to projection to confirm and mentioned the issue, to which Jack said she may have seen some graininess, but that he...

Wednesday 8/19/26 Ian/Lauren/Gus/Jenn

Manager Communication: Pretty easygoing night.  Film Feast folks rocked the first floor.  The third round was pretty sleepy in the big theaters, but a lot of the smaller ones filled up.  Odyssey + Spider-Man still bringing in the people. JH BAR Staff Observations: Trees got a nice crowd right as the second round was letting out and the third round going in, but nothing that ever got hectic.  Gabrielle, Matthew, + Sam all took turns in the service well and were pushing out tickets no problem.  Jeshua was deputized for Film Feast, and made quick work of closing lobby once he was routed. JH Prep List: Ian made the drinks for tomorrow, and was able to knock out some Arbol Tequila + Lemonade + Simple Syrup before he got out of here. JH I cleaned the GF Soda + OF kegs.  They are chilling in the walk-in. JH Ordering/Receiving/Shipping:  Union, Skurnik, Southern-LB US foods coming Friday-LB Baldor placed for Saturday: lemons 3&3 Saratoga, guava puree, ...

Manager Communication: Good bar meeting today. Excited about menu change. Nights continue to be busy at Trees - great stuff! - IP BAR Staff Observations: Trivia team was excellent tonight.

Monday 08.17.26 Jenn/Lauren/Ian

Manager Communication: Big softball presence tonight at Trees Lounge.-LB Trees was slammed from 7-10. Softball and "Blind Fury" crowd ordered a ton of food. The runner team did a good job for the most part - could be a little more careful with mixing up duplicate food items - when trees gets a lot of one-off burgers and chicken sandwiches they will occasionally get dropped off to the wrong flag number, because that guest says "oh yes, I ordered a burger too!" or something like that - just a little more discernment with the flag numbers would be awesome. - IP BAR Staff Observations:  On my way out at 9:15 Ian was in the service well and asked Thursdae and another server to tray up, but he had lots of tickets out, I offered to help. Took off my bad.  4/6 was popping off as it was well sold. I got behind the bar to help with service as Greg was busy.  The service well below the main taps was COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AT 9pm. I asked Greg if he did it, he said Lydia did, but...

Sunday 8.16.26 / Ariel & Lauren / NPP Bar

Manager Communication: Tank guy came in today. He had 2 tanks and took our 2 empties. I tried to get as many as I could but he only had 2 on the truck. - AB2 I organized up the walk-in to have everything nice and smooth. - AB I learned today that the kitchen likes 6 items at a time for food on a tab/ticket. Should we just have Bartenders ring things in 6 at a time and send it and then add the rest and send it? This rarely ever happens but just for when it does... - AB2 I totally didn't mention the amazing ice cream social put on yesterday afternoon by Jess & Emma for staff. It was a lovely summer surprise that everyone enjoyed. Thanks so much, it definitely was a welcome pick me up.-LB Sam learned the real life lesson of not selling tickets to babies. We had a family in Theater 1 for the 9:05pm. Jared spoke with them and they bought the tickets at the box office. Sam was a little overwhelmed between 7 and theater 3/5 tickets and then ticket sales so he did not clock the young c...
