Jesse Sunday 7.28



Manager Communication: 4s and dinner round were very busy, and we also nearly sold out a 10:00 pm Once Upon a Time! A Sunday rarity, but it gave us great business and energy late. We got some bar crowds throughout the day, a bit lighter than yesterday. Post-dinner round was the heaviest bar crowd. The audience for this movie loves to drink, lots of drinks both in line waiting and then in the theatre again tonight. Managed to also get some really solid batching done and clean the heck out of the place after another mad weekend.

Customer Comments: A lot of the crowd for Once Upon a Time tonight was exceedingly positive before and especially after. I had lots of folks at the bar really pumped about the 35mm showing, remarking that it looked great and they hope we do a lot more.

BAR Staff Observations: Rebecca batched us up to solid pars. Antonio made the error of pouring ginger/lime slush into both sides of the machine and we had to run down to lobby during a small rush in 4&6 for mules so that they were properly frozen. He understands the process of dedicating refilling frozens one side at a time.

 FOH Staff Observations: Traffic to the bar to pick up drinks tonight seemed lacking compared to recent days. Jovani and Lauren L. were amazing about it, otherwise we had some long ticket times that Ryan and I ran. Also, it was very apparent tonight that a lot of servers were picking up lots of flags rather than getting drink orders at their greet and using their iPads, as our drink rushes were sometimes as late as 20 minutes into pre-show and we had full trays going up 15 minutes into the feature.

Hiring/Training: Vanessa was back again and got time on FilmBot, MobileBytes, made a stock list, batched with Rebecca and went over garnish guide and drink specs with me before leaving.

86ed / counts on items: Low on Sauv Blanc, pulled the last Rose for back ups, out of Combier and could not batch Firewalk.

Prep List: We need tonic syrup and Firewalk; depending on when we are expecting combier, I can grab some tomorrow to get us a batch to get by for a couple of days. Machines are healthy full but we are out of back up.

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...
