Tuesday 4.30 Jesse



Manager Communication: Great ticket sales and sell outs today; Avengers just won't quit. The slower, comparatively, daytime showings give us plenty of time for set up and prep and then from 7 to close, things stay busy. Worked well with 3 bartenders on today, only a few instances of manager help and coverage needed to get through. Presence definitely needed at Lobby prior to showtime and at HiRes for pre-shows to expo, as Lobby gets stretched thin by ticketing and questions and then the bar upstairs all focus goes to service bar. Definitely more drinking crowds during weekday night shows, our sales mix is much more liquor/wine/beer than NA. Cut to 1 bar up at 10:30 pm, cut Lobby at 11:15 pm and re-routed so Susan could get out soon after.

BAR Staff Observations: Susan is just a rockstar on Lobby solo, a tough shift that she handled extremely well.

FOH Staff Observations: Servers on weekdays with busier showtimes are still adjusting to lacking drink runners, lots of manager support building and running trays but servers could use a little more of a push. The 7s and then 9s were wonderful, though, with cut servers lending a helping hand.

Prep List: Cool Runnings batched, very solid on syrups and infusions. Minor needs for tomorrow would be more Cardamom syrup and Perfectly Balanced. The machines are low so they can be cleaned.

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: Remarkable and Baldor en route tomorrow.

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...
