Jenn/Jesse 11/13



Manager Communication: Laid back opening rounds, but definitely more sold than previous brunch opens. The early afternoon storms definitely pushed some more guests in for the mid rounds. JH

Early afternoon and dinner ramped up to standard Saturday numbers. Service bars on both floors had consistent but very well handled rushes from 5 pm through 9, and then the late round slowed down a bit. Lots of bar business today, consistently through the shift and into the night. Ian even remarked we seem to already have more bar guests than before Covid, have to say I concur. It adds great energy to the bar. JM

Customer Comments:

BAR Staff Observations: Chelsea and Natasha did a great opening, especially since their opening time was ten minutes shorter than usual. Ian was a great help batching, and both Gabrielle and Ivan helped both bars transition into dinner service. JH

PM teams were on point today, nice to have Ivan on a later shift. He rocked service bar with Ian and Tevon took guests. Everyone was on point, stocking happened very fluidly throughout the shift which was really helpful. Made some cuts once business very definitively slowed down and kept labor tight, a really helpful film schedule for managing staff levels at the bar. 

FOH Staff Observations: Lauren is a rock star. Everyone is pulling their weight very well and drink rushes are flying out, but props in particular for Lauren. I see her constantly at service bars supporting and directing people to stations. 

Hiring/Training: Jo had her second trail today downstairs closing Lobby. She manned FilmBot for the heaviest ticket rushes and had no issue picking that up and then took Th7 solo. That's a really good thing to remember; Lobby bar is great for a second trail because trainees know the systems enough to run service and can take one side but have staff there to help if needed. We should consistently plan for second trails to be down there instead of firsts. 

86ed / counts on items: Finback is on a count. No more olives in house except what is behind the bars currently. That last bottle of Aviation went into a Negroni batch. We are on the last keg of Iced Coffee. JH

Prep List: Ian batched Paper Plane and prepped some Arbol tequila. I charged the remaining kegs that needed it and batched NEgroni. Jesse brought in Date Syrup and finished off a double batch of Eyes. JH

Made some Ginger Lime and London today. Very well stocked for tomorrow. JM

Pay Outs: $25 Date Syrup

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...
