Saturday 4.27 Jesse "Birthday Blogger" Marino



Manager Communication: Busy all the way through today. Spoons went smoothly, lots of families for the early shows and drink sales coincided with that. However, once we hit the 4s, 7s and late rounds the dynamic shifted big time. Decent bar business in between shows, although we never built much of a crowd. The lines, when they dominate the entire bar for movies like this, definitely make a difference in how people view the bar, and we don't get the kind of bar business we get on other busy weekend days. Showtimes went really well from a bar perspective; drinks went out quickly and well, we slowed when the theatres got backed up and for the first time in a while we never hit a snag with glassware. Cut openers when the 3 o clocks got in, cut the swings when the closers got in, went to 2 up and 1 down after the final round and re-routed the Lobby at 11:45 pm.

BAR Staff Observations: Ben, Dylan and Jeremy rocked it out upstairs; huge hits for the large theatres were handled without issue. Malka and Jeremy batched and got us set up for tomorrow very well, and after a long day still turned out some really great behind the scenes work.

FOH Staff Observations: Max Rams was the MVP today as bar runner; he ran quickly, built trays well and committed himself to theatres running straight to seats when drinks built up in service stations.

Beau had a rough shift in theatre 2. He fell behind and mislabeled several flags. Randall and I handled it and got food to the right tables.

86ed / counts on items: Nitro Coffee; I hooked up the keg and checked the lines and everything is kosher but for some reason, we can't get it pulling.

Prep List: Had to infuse more aperol, will need to make a Blow Up tomorrow. Otherwise, we made FWWM, Tethered, Cool Runnings, Mae West and Alfredo after a very busy day.

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: Baldor en route for Monday, lots of recoup after a busy weekend. No 86 risks.

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...
