Manager Communication:
Slowest day yet, I had them clean lots of things, all glassware was moved and cleaned beneath.  Lowboys were cleaned thoroughly.  Back lowboy was cleaned.  Bottles and shelves were cleaned upstairs.  Walkin near the kegs still needs to be cleaned.  I updated the weekly cleaning schedule.  Let me know if you see anything left off.

I talked to Ben about not overdoing prep.  He made a batch of coffee cinzano, which has (albeit it long) a shelf life and we have plenty.  In general, I want to go over with the leads how to look at that, and how our pars are more about having enough prepared ingredients for the bartenders to batch during down time.

The batch of saved cider from last night was thick and wonky.  Let's keep an eye during opening that everyone is dating it, and on close that everyone is throwing away 2 day old product.

Becca Rock of Lieb Cellars and Bridge Lane Wine (both cool wines from long island) and Kristin Anderson (a really good Martin Scott rep) came by tonight.  I gave them our three email addresses and told them to reach out in February as we are thinking about the next menu.  They are both great, and I would love to work with Martin Scott on spirits.  Their portfolio has some great stuff for our brand.


Customer Comments:

BAR Staff Observations:
Too easy for anything big.  Still needs work on greeting guests.

Lots of cleaning.

I cut aggressively.  2 upstairs and downstairs for the sevens.  1 downstairs for the beginning of the tens, then I had Ash close, and we rerouted printers upstairs and had Susan run drinks to the whole building.  I then cut Susan midway through the tens from drink running and just had her inform the servers.

Also cut Hugo halfway through tens, Ash closed last bit of upstairs.

FOH Staff Observations:

I have noticed on slow days we are worse about seating issues.  The ropes are not being pulled in front of theaters that are being cleaned, and the people in lines (esp for the big theaters) are not being announced to as the theater is opened which means that there are already people in them that have not waited in line.  Obviously this is not a terrible hindrance when we are slow and there are plenty of seats, but it makes us look bad in subtle but noticeable ways.  (systems wise)

The soap dispenser at upstairs service station hand wash is broken, I could not find a backup in malkovich.  I will put a push bottle there in the morning.

One other note from our health inspection pre check was that they might find issue with  was the caddies touching consumable ice, so I will adjust our 2 minute drill accordingly.
