Jesse Saturday 7.27



Manager Communication: Non-stop excitement through the very last show. We had nicely spaced showtimes today, which gave us a manageable rush to the service bars and let us put full focus on guests at the bars and tables as well. A decent crowd to the bar this week. The Once Upon a Time crowd drinks. Before, during, second rounds during and after and gave us plenty of work to do through the several show times. We were well batched going in. Prioritizing getting fully set up, with refilled bottles of cocktails, several containers of cut garnishes and several back up bottles of wine open was a must for the service bar, and we rocked it out. Stocking runs had to happen between every showtime. The biggest set back was that we were so consistently busy that we had lots of batching to do at the end of the night to make up for the tons of product and cocktails we went through. Rebecca marathoned a needed long shift and she and I batched out what was needed while William, Ryan and Dylan held down bars and closed.

BAR Staff Observations: Ian is a great addition; very efficient and personable at the front of the bar as well. We had a good crew on tonight, but could maybe use some staff balancing as we had 2 leads in lobby and Ryan in HiRes with Dylan and an otherwise new crew of bartenders. They got some serious training in and did very well today, but we could have used some stronger hands upstairs to help juggle the busy bar with also having a set of lead eyes on stocking etc.

Hiring/Training: Vanessa did her first trail today and seemed to like the style of service. She will be back tomorrow.

 86ed / counts on items: Shacksbury

Prep List: Got a lot of batching done tonight, might need Hibiscus Lime and Lemonade at some point tomorrow but otherwise we are strongly batched.

Over/Short on Banks: HiRes - A (bank 222) was $15 short, could not suss out the reason why.

MobileBytes: The Brooklyn Cider was ringing with tax and also confusing the bartenders because it said "Sour" and they mis made the cider as a Collective Arts once. The button was fixed.

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...
