Benjamin Wednesday 11/20



Manager Communication:
I went to the Runner meeting and talked to them about what the bar needs from them.

Busy Wednesday, which was great.  Sales crept up for all the dinner shows and Roc Raida climbed steadily as well. 

I had Jenn batch while the shows were in, as the bar wasn't too busy, and we got up on most of what we needed.  Got some syrups done as well.  Jenn and I helped Ryan on the bar for the first push for the party, and then Jenn restocked and left, I stayed to support Ryan and help with the room.

We are out of Gentian, so could not finish Them Apples syrup, but we had enough to batch a keg.  I will pick some up at Kalyustyans tomorrow.

We have the new wine, and a button, it's under "Syrah Glass" as it's short name



Customer Comments:  Lots of seat changing. 

BAR Staff Observations:  Really solid job, had fun with the crowd.

FOH Staff Observations:  Runners did a good job clearing the bar, I just gave them the heads up ahead of time, and they did regular passes.


Special Events? Roc Raida show and after party.  It felt more like a hip hop show than a movie, people coming in at all times and having a good time.  Good after party crowd.  Dispersed right at 11.  Hip Hop heads are getting a little old for all night partying. 

86ed / counts on items: May run out of Churchill tomorrow.

Prep List: Old Fashioned keg, Negroni Keg, Pumpkin Syrup, Vanilla Bourbon, Ginger Lime Slushie (maybe a double batch heading into Frozen)



Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: Park Street, T Edwards and Interboro came today, more beer 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...
