Wednesday 2/4/26 Ian/Gus/Lauren/Jenn

Manager Communication:  Pretty mellow Wednesday, but Trees did get a welcome pop of business once the Q+A in Th3 finished and the majority of guests made their way upstairs.  Other than that, an easygoing evening overall. JH BAR Staff Observations:  Charlie and Matthew made light work of opening both bars, and Charlie stuck around to get Gabrielle through the second round Th1 initial service push.  Made sure to check in on Matthew and Gabrielle throughout the rest of the night, but both were pretty set and grooving.  JH Staff Meeting Agenda notes:  Based on sales, and both of our busy third round screenings finishing credits before 11:00pm, we did last call at Trees and in-theater at 11:00pm.  No guests were disrupted (all guests at Trees had closed out before 11) and each bar was closed without issue. JH Pay Outs:   $4.26 Bar grocery  Ordering/Receiving/Shipping:   Baldor brought limes. I have a small order coming Friday from Baldor and...

Tuesday 2/3/26 Gus/Lauren/Ian

Manager Communication: Before trivia Trees Lounge is so busy with food. It would be really helpful if the runners could take the number when they drop food-this helps them find numbers easier.  If they can also grab empty plates to a bus tub. I was clearing Trees for the team and Elias came and dropped entrees two separate times and didn't grab any bussable plates. Empty glassware is also a huge help.  It is also helpful if they check with the bar when they have dropped a lot of food and ask if our bus tub is full. If they can bring it to DW2 and get it to the kitchen for us that frees up the bar staff to concentrate on front facing service and theater service.  It is critical in this transition of labor to consider that our team will in fact need more support from the runner team.  The same can be said for servers waiting for their own drinks at the pass, grab a bucket of ice for the bar team, run a rack of dishes.  I know we have belabored the point that the b...

Monday 1.2.26 / Ariel & Ian / NPP Bar

Manager Communication: I added a couple magnets to DW2 station for a cue sheet to be placed. This is going to now be a location for MOD's to place cue sheets going forward. - AB2 Dion cut their finger pretty good using the peeler. They had to step off the floor and go to City MD, so I had to have more of a presence on the floor and was not able to get as much batching done. - AB2 During the intermission of the double feature the operational urinals in the Trees men's room overflowed again. Markenson and I cleaned up the water on the floor, and once the bathroom rush ended, and the urinals had a chance to catch up, there was no leakage. I think the drains to the urinals themselves might be clogged - or they are not draining fast enough to empty the bowl before overflowing when they are in constant usage. It's either too much water coming out too fast or not enough is able to go down fast enough. - IP BAR Staff Observations: Jeshua was unaware that he was scheduled to work t...

Sunday 2/1/26 Gus & Lauren

Manager Communication: Smooth Opening. Wyatt and I got things going right away. -GS Well it was full moon fever here today.  A very upset woman came to Lobby trying to find her friend's tickets to No Other Choice at 5:30, it was about 6pm. I found her ticket and located her friend. The woman began sobbing uncontrollably again on the third floor, so I got her friend outside.  Didn't want her to disturb the film or be a nonwelcome friend.  Her friend sat with her, I had to hustle back to the bar to help the rush and asked Dion to bring them passes.  The upset guest was also pretty drunk as she vomited all over the third floor bathroom. At the same time Josef was trying to find out what we were playing soon and it was not a great time.  Sundays are like Saturdays until about 8pm. -LB I think that we should have a quick meeting with the bar managers after the all-manager meeting on Wednesday. I think we can go over the system for the new cambros and the new coffee ...

Saturdays 1/31/26 Lauren

Manager Communication:  It does feel like this Saturday was busy enough to warrant another bar body. We were really busy all night at Trees, daytime I heard was pretty busy as well. Jeshua had sold out theaters downstairs and was somewhat resistant to Jared's help again. I opted to go down to support since the three upstairs were resetting and still slammed front-facing.   We were likely slightly affected by not having Jenn around during the early pushes to help achieve max efficiency.  But happy to see lots of new faces in the lobby and upstairs, just want to give them a great experience.-LB Pretty busy throughout the day, throughout the building. New movies and celebrated movies from last year plus cold weather equals business is good.--LB BAR Staff Observations:  Bar team gave absolute hustle today. Natasha, Greg and Matthew kept things grooving all day with no issue. Then Matthew batched and Natasha got some more batching in after Greg restocked both bars a...

Friday 1/30/2026 Jenn/Ian/Ariel

Manager Communication: Opened up the igloo building with Jenn, Jess and Gil. Matthew and Tevon got waylaid by the MTA for a bit, so I got them a head start on opening the bars while Jenn did inventory.  First round was slow, but dinner round numbers look a little better. - IP I heard Greg was not feeling well. Matthew said he can come in earlier tomorrow if we need him.- AB2 BAR Staff Observations: Tevon and Matt arrived a little late, but the stock from last night, courtesy of Natasha, made opening a total breeze.  Tevon started to faded a little by the time family meal came up, so I cut him and hopped behind the bar until Ariel and Natasha arrived. - IP Was able to get Matthew before 11. Natasha and Gabrielle crushed and closed Lobby & Tree's. - AB2 Prep List: Made a batch of Hot Bananas with the substitute rums, but we now have the proper ingredients so going forward we are good to go.   I made another batch of Dream Big - keep eyes on the Peace and Respite ...
