Jesse/Jenn 10/26



Manager Communication: Steady opening round, very manageable with one at each bar. Dinner round was very busy for a weekday once again, but the real surprise tonight was how busy the late round was, specifically at Lobby Bar. Ian was able to handle the late rush, but keep bartenders from breaking down too aggressively this time of year as they will get a full drink rush before the shows are all started. 

Bar crowds light during the early round as well, decent bar crowds leading in to the dinner round and after alongside a steady trivia. Did not cut openers until 10:35 due to busy trivia and solid late round sales. Openers will be looking at long shift even when there are closers. 

BAR Staff Observations: Ian held it down all day at a busy lobby bar, letting focus on service be upstairs for trivia and heavy dinner round rushes. With only two bartenders at Trees for trivia, Jesse had to hop behind for the major drink rushes and start of trivia, but no issues handling the volume of service had we had three bartenders on. Tevon once again did a nice job proactively stocking and getting both bars back to pars before leaving. No issues. 

FOH Staff Observations: During the height of service during dinner rounds, tray running struggled at 1&2 and managers ran a majority of the trays into those stations

Special Events? Gothika 9pm 35mm showing, some bar flow beforehand

Staff Meeting Agenda notes: Tevon and Jesse early in the shift found a lot of extraneous items in the low boys, team should get a review of where things go and keeping low boys organized

86ed / counts on items: Michelada, Zombie Dust, Mulatshak 

Prep List: Lemonade made tomorrow, Jungle Bird, French 75 Keg (use Da Mar Prosecco), Eyes of Ibad

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: Lots of orders placed, expecting Remarkable, Interboro, Empire and or Southern 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...
