4/26 Benjamin



Manager Communication:
Busy service, but rather smooth.  Good amount of drinks at the bar made the drink rush a bit steady instead of crazy at the beginning, but the drink rushes were much longer than anything we have experienced. 

Ryan dropped an empty keg while changing it, and it cut the line for the Riesling right near the sankey.  I was able to cut the line a bit and reattach it, so it is working again, but we will need to get a clamp.  I kept an eye on it, and it was fine, since it is low pressure nitrogen.  So I will pick one up Sunday.

People are drinking cold brew til late with this movie, so make sure we are restocking creamers even for the last rounds.

We are looking good on prep, Lemonade will have to be made early, but then we should be good on batching as we have times to.

I made sure at the cuts and for the close everyone was setting up as best as possible for tomorrow.

When we have a second closer upstairs during these long movies, we have some wiggle room for our prep and whatnot.


Customer Comments:
Really nice people in Theater 3 gave all the love to Sarah and Tommy.  Two different parties thanked me for their hard work and great service.


BAR Staff Observations:  Rebecca and Susan killed it by coming in early, and staying through the rush.  I got Rebecca off the floor at 8 and she prepped everything we need for success tomorrow and Sunday.

Eliel was tired today.  Him and I talked and we both think he should not pick up those extra shifts heading into the busy weekend.

FOH Staff Observations:
Glassware is still not rotating fast enough.  As soon as I was alerted to the issue, we had lots coming back in.  This just has to be a point of emphasis before it becomes an issue.  Bartenders and managers have to communicate a bit better on this point.


Staff Meeting Agenda notes:  Always knowing what theater every guest at the bar is here for, and quickly explaining where to go.


Prep List: Posted

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...
