Benjamin Saturday 2.8.20



Manager Communication:
 Earliest round was a bit of a dud, but the rounds picked up with the smaller theaters all selling well all day, and the big ones selling well for dinner and late night.  Good bar crowd from afternoon into evening.  The Spirit Awards kept people interested to hang around a bit after their films let out.   Decent crowd after the last movies let out as well.

Openers were cut early, but everyone else got a good full shift.

We are out of Cocolero, but are batched up on BOP Margarita.

We batched the last of the Tin Cup for Bloody Tin.  May need 1 more batch to get us through, can use 4 roses maybe.

Customer Comments:
There was a homeless man in the Lobby who smelled of booze.  Ryan refused him service, and he made a little stink.  He hung around a bit, and Cedric talked to him and he left.

Rebecca and Jenn had a gentleman at the bar at 12:30 AM order a beer, and they felt like it should be the last one they served him.  He ordered another, and went to the bathroom.  His wife also asked for him to not be served another.  Rebecca politely refused him service, and he was not happy.  He left shortly after.

BAR Staff Observations:
Was able to have tight cuts in the morning.  Got some batching done and are looking good for all tomorrows parties.  What costume will the poor girl wear.

FOH Staff Observations:
The flip after the dinner round was excellent in Theater 1.  They got it done with plenty of spare time.  Theater 2 was better than average.  It was nice to see improvement with this as such a point of emphasis.

Special Events? Playing the awards show was great.  We do need to start looking ahead and playing different events in the bar.

Staff Meeting Agenda notes:  Frozens need to be refilled throughout the shift when we have split drinks in them.

86ed / counts on items: Other Half Double IPA (it's crushing)

Prep List: Firewalk, Jimmy Hates Watermelon (shrub is already made)


Over/Short on Banks: Lobby bank was $10 short.  When counting, Vanessa informed me that she found a $10 in the stack of $20's.  I recounted the bank, and that seems to be the mistake.  Not sure when it was made.  We took from over/under.

Mobile Bytes:
The card reader at bar terminal 3 froze around 12:30 AM.  I reset it and it worked fine.

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...
