Jenn/Jesse 11/27



Manager Communication: Another day that started off slow, and then had sales rise steadily throughout service. JH

Same flow as yesterday, lots of day of tickets and walk in ticketing to boost theater sales. Theaters 1,2,4 and 6 sat back to back for the dinner round, which drew both a huge crowd to Trees and also hit the bar hard and consistently for a solid hour and a half. We had a good bar crowd and energy through 10:30 pm and then it tapered off. Late round felt slower than usual for a Saturday, but otherwise the day flowed very well and was easy to manage labor for. 

Cut openers once they had gotten breaks and also had closers in; they did final stocks for the bar and clocked out. Then the mids were needed through the end of the dinner round, but the late round was tame enough to cut Gabrielle by 9:30 pm and Tevon upstairs by roughly the same time. Nice staffing that was perfect for the day.

BAR Staff Observations: Starting to sound like a broken record but truly everyone is getting very used to the flow here as business has picked up and it's a joy to work these services. 

Particularly big props to Jo, who has adjusted so swiftly here and is doing an excellent job.

Staff Meeting Agenda notes:

86ed / counts on items:

Prep List: Was able to have Chelsea and Tevon batch a new keg of French 75, Eyes of Ibad and Paper Plane JH

Had Ian batch up Firewalk, movie specials and Ginger Lime 

Pay Outs: Baldor didn't arrive until after noon, so when we got through the last bottle of in house OJ I rna to the store JH

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: Baldor arrived with citrus, juice and waters JH

Maintenance: Dish machine had nearly all holes clogged, hence some of our glassware clarity issues. I cleared it out and it's working great now.

Manager Communication: Wyatt and I opened up the building in preparation for a very busy "Do the Right Thing" - otherwise it was a very quiet.  We don't get the FOH blog, so Ian didn't know about the grease trap back up, which caused some confusion this morning. Vlad said he would get to the drain in theaters 1/2 another day since today was a literal washout.-LB I put signs up to tell people to not put bags on the top of the ice machines, not considering the language barrier of Markenson etc.  I went through it with him after he replaced the boxes because he is so thorough, I believe he understood what I meant. -LB Timothy needs to get a run down about wearing an ear piece, he left his walkie on the water station, didn't even realize it. I worry he would not hear us if we walkie him. -LB Customer Comments: I half-comped a salad for a guest that was generous enough to move so two people could sit together, I didn't note that on the check, by accident. It was i...

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...

Manager Communication: Slow night at the bar, but The WOrst Person opened pretty big which was nice to see.  BAR Staff Observations: Everyone did great. Was able to get Jenn and Jo out earlyish.  FOH Staff Observations: Solid crew tonight, no issues on my end.  86ed / counts on items: Tecate Prep List : Should be all prepped up going in to tomorrow. We will probably need hot toddy at some point, but no urgency.  Over/Short on Banks: Lobby bar was $10 short.  Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: Manhattan did not come in this week, so we did not get tecate or high life. Our rep is following up.
