Jesse Tuesday 9.24



Manager Communication: Theatre flow was slow for the first round, moderate for the dinner round and then dead slow for the late shows; we turned off Rambo and Goldfinch from lack of late night sales. Lobby bar got a nice push for the dinner rounds, hopped back for about 15 minutes to help with ticketing and drinks. Otherwise, Dylan was aces. Trivia was busy upstairs per usual, and the staff handled it in stride. Was able to cut right down to 2 bartenders as soon as Trivia ended and then Ryan and Rebecca closed up while handling a nice, busy bar through the close.

BAR Staff Observations: Rebecca was truly great at serving for Trivia, handling many tabs and tables with only a little bussing and running support from Ryan, Susan and myself. A pretty hard to beat crew for a night like this on tonight, everyone was great.

FOH Staff Observations: Drink running was good tonight; servers were prompt but there still seem to be moments when the dedicated runners are cut when theatre servers are not aware they need to be running for their own drinks.

 Special Events? Trivia gave us a really nice, steady push of drinks tonight. People were in the spirit; it was a slightly more intimate crowd today but they were eating and drinking and kept about 30 people in the bar well after Trivia as well. Excited to have three of these in October.

Prep List: Good on most, good on kegs. Will need Alfredo and slushie at some point tomorrow.

Pay Outs: $8.97 for Bar Food

Mobilebytes Issues: For some reason we couldn't suss out, when we re-routed an iPad for trivia use and put it on the mezz, drinks rung in behind the bar at station Hi-Res A would print from the printer. Luckily we didn't double make more than a beer, but it was persistent the whole night even with them ringing on the "Upstairs Bar" revenue center.

Manager Communication: Wyatt and I opened up the building in preparation for a very busy "Do the Right Thing" - otherwise it was a very quiet.  We don't get the FOH blog, so Ian didn't know about the grease trap back up, which caused some confusion this morning. Vlad said he would get to the drain in theaters 1/2 another day since today was a literal washout.-LB I put signs up to tell people to not put bags on the top of the ice machines, not considering the language barrier of Markenson etc.  I went through it with him after he replaced the boxes because he is so thorough, I believe he understood what I meant. -LB Timothy needs to get a run down about wearing an ear piece, he left his walkie on the water station, didn't even realize it. I worry he would not hear us if we walkie him. -LB Customer Comments: I half-comped a salad for a guest that was generous enough to move so two people could sit together, I didn't note that on the check, by accident. It was i...

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...

Manager Communication: Slow night at the bar, but The WOrst Person opened pretty big which was nice to see.  BAR Staff Observations: Everyone did great. Was able to get Jenn and Jo out earlyish.  FOH Staff Observations: Solid crew tonight, no issues on my end.  86ed / counts on items: Tecate Prep List : Should be all prepped up going in to tomorrow. We will probably need hot toddy at some point, but no urgency.  Over/Short on Banks: Lobby bar was $10 short.  Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: Manhattan did not come in this week, so we did not get tecate or high life. Our rep is following up.
