Manager Communication:
The opening round was the busiest, and our lowest staffed.  It was actually a surprise, and I helped Hugo get the round out and run the bar while Ben floated and stocked.  It was an almost sold out round and went smoothly, but the stock was low from the night before, with no rollups left. Busy 4's and 7's, dead 10's

NuCO2 didn't come, their driver called out today.  They promise they will be here first thing tomorrow.  We might need some more gf juice, as we have the cocktail with it now.

Staff came together well, but the downstairs was down to 42 degrees by the sevens.  We shut down the bar after the drink rush and ran from 8 PM on from upstairs.  It was too cold for bartenders to be down there.  The managers took turns at the FilmBots station, and Ash and Grace worked the close upstairs.  Upstairs was down to 53 degrees.  Everyone handled it well, and I tried to make people take warming breaks, but these temperatures are unsafe.  Downstairs was only 4 degrees warmer than our walkins.




Customer Comments:

BAR Staff Observations:
Everyone helped out immensely.  Grace ran drinks when we moved everything upstairs.  We were a bit surprised by the first round being the busiest as we staffed more for the 4's and  7's but there were no hiccups in service.

FOH Staff Observations:
Everyone helped run drinks and killed it.

Special Events?

Staff Meeting Agenda notes:
The stocking is still being done haphazardly at times, with older product being put at the front, but it is getting better, and I am addressing minor issues on shift.

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping:
I did not see the rosemary in my walkin, I was too busy to talk to the receivers, until after the sevens, so may be in the kitchen.

Maintenance:
Temperatures have to be addressed.  I had a bartender seriously not want to work if it is this cold again.  The theaters were fine, but public facing spaces were frigid.

Manager Communication:  Another very busy day, with Th1/2/3/4 pretty well sold, or sold out, for multiple rounds.  Nonstop from the moment doors opened. JH Pretty much same here for the evening. Very busy up until the last round, and lots of business at Trees. - IP Customer Comments:  Some guests this afternoon had an issue with Miguel's service at Lobby, and spoke to me about it.  I sent an email summarizing their complaints and what happened to upper management, in case they reach out in the future. JH BAR Staff Observations:  Busy from the moment doors opened, with both bars navigating sold out theaters throughout the day.  Patrick was a big help with second round rushes and getting the first push of special event drinks out at Trees. JH Patrick and Darius had a good rapport in lobby tonight, which was really great to see. Jeshua and Bryan were excellent at Trees tonight for multiple sold out rounds and a pretty steady bar crowd all night. We had some gl...

Manager Communication: Matthew and Miguel came in ready to crush this brunch. The Wizard of Oz, Wonka, and Poor Things all had great drinking crowds. Kelsey came in at 11AM & swung up to support Trees. Once Tevon got in we knocked out plenty of batches and syrups. We were able to cut openers soon after. -AB The Coconut Lime Slushie side of the frozen machine continues to be an issue. I don't understand because it's in the same style machine in Lobby, on the same setting. What do we do? (crying emoji, crying emoji). -AB We ran out of the Piña Colada umbrellas today. I was having bartenders just put a cherry in there. -AB2 I also no longer have access to this blogger anymore so I'm typing here from Ashley's account. -AB2 Customer Comments: Not a specific customer, but I noticed this weekend a lot of N/A Spritzers were being rung in "not too sweet". In this instance, bartenders simply cut the recipe with a little club soda. I haven't seen any physically s...

Manager Communication: The soda gun at Trees Lounge is having issues with Diet Coke. It has moments of coming out with no syrup. There is syrup in the bag still so I think Coca cola should be contacted to have it checked out before it is a further issue. -LB Super busy Sunday chilled out for a chill evening. -LB Customer Comments: While helping out Josef in the lobby today I had an idea that might streamline his tendency to takeover the attention of the lobby bartender or floor manager (or anyone who stops to chat, haha). Since he usually calls in to get his tickets beforehand, we know when he's going to be coming in - since he ALWAYS asks what movies we have coming up, and if we will have x, y or z - maybe we can print out an easily readable piece of paper with the upcoming schedule (as we know it) that we can hand to him and tell him all the information is on the paper. I know it probably won't change anything at all, but rather than have him bug someone to pull up the sched...
