Benjamin/Rebecca Wednesday 11.13



Manager Communication:
Lot's of receiving and organizing today.  I put in a ticket for Coke to come out and fix our gun.  Will let you know when they get back to me with a time.

Matthew, I showed the art group what we wanted, and explained why.  While I was doing other things, they tacked up their name plates with museum putty.  They sent me an email saying it will not harm our walls... so we shall see.  If it does at all, I will make sure it doesn't happen next time.

I burned the ice machine in the bar prep and turned it off.  It is open to dry right now.  Jesse, can you have a porter clean it out tomorrow AM?

I know everyone probably knows this, but it was freezing in the lobby tonight. Dylan had the space heater on and he still had to wear a coat and gloves throughout the night.

Ryan suggested to me tonight that it would probably be better if the Wednesday night cleaning duty of cleaning underneath the bubblers and frozen machines was done at the time of cleaning the machines since they are much heavier with product in them at any other time.

Special Events? Twenty Sided Game Night went well! There were about 12 people. They ordered a decent amount from the bar, and they were pleasant as always.

Prep List:
The Fake Lemon will need to be finished. The Oleo Saccharum is sitting out on the prep table

We may want to start a new Vanilla Bourbon batch. I used the 4L at the end of the night to do a full batch of the Pumpkin King. That batch will last us for a bit, so the bourbon definitely isn't eminent.

There's a Churchill Keg charging with the nitrogen from the Negroni keg. I figured it could use a bit more time, so we should just take it off the charger and strain tomorrow.

Other than that, we should be good to go!
Ginger Syrup, Kaffir Lime, Pumpkin Syrup, Oleo Saccharum, Ginger Lime Slush, Pumpkin King, Clarence Worley, and Pink Panther were all made tonight.

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: Empire, Remarkable, Interboro, and lime juice from chef's all came today.  The weekly broken case from Empire is a case of Alamos, and the driver marked it on the invoice.

Maintenance:  The rubber gasket on the left-hand lowboy in the upstairs bar is peeling.  It is added to the maintenance doc.

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...
