Jesse Tues 2/26



Manager Communication: Busy night at the bar, slow night in the theatres save for our "Midnight" of Candyman which sold 100 tickets! A great energy boost to the already lively bar, which was full to capacity with trivia. We learned a lot from our first trivia; we need to prioritize getting some extra seating in here, whether it be permanent or pop up tables for now for large events. Also, could have used two cocktail servers for it although Rebecca was incredible at serving the tables solo. Otherwise, trivia was a great addition, with tables eating and drinking, running up tabs and staying afterwards as well. About 1/3 of the teams did leave trivia to attend Candyman, these groups of film nerds will fill showings like that, so if we keep our Midnight at a Reasonable Hour, pushing it to a 10:15-10:30 pm start will let guests finish trivia and hit up the film afterwards.

Customer Comments: One guest at trivia had a flatbread that she thought was burnt, not realizing it is topped with charred veg. Got her a reuben instead, very happy. A guest asked to swap the gin in the G&T not realizing it was a pre-made, server caught it and swapped it for a G&T with their choice of tonic. Lots of very happy people at trivia tonight glad to have a new home! A few guests at the onset were a bit taken aback that we had limited seating, but they found their space and had a blast.

BAR Staff Observations: All the points to Rebecca tonight for opening and then swinging in to handling two floors of trivia teams with full tabs. Wicked impressive. Michael did a nice job as did Susan helping to bus the tables and floor. A second dedicated server would ahve kept our bartenders behind the bar though and we did get stretched a bit thin when Candyman went in, needing them all behind the bar. Management supported Rebecca.

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...
