Jesse 11/26



Manager Communication: Busy day! A steady opening round and then busy subsequent rounds that built substantially as the day went on. We had about $5k in tickets sales when I came in and that number kept climbing as the day went on. Well spread through every theater, so the rushes were busy but very manageable. 

We had good bar business from 3 pm onwards, with the bar filling really well before and after House of Gucci. Seems to be a movie that drives really good sales and lots of F&B.

Was able to break openers when swings got in, swings when closers got in and closers before the swings left with no hiccup in service. Also worked in time for Eliel to batch due to long movies. Cut Dylan in lobby by 4 pm; slow downstairs until the dinner round. Cut Trees opener at 5:30 and then the lobby and Trees swings by 9:15 and 10:30 pm, respectively.

BAR Staff Observations: Great opens by Dylan and Jenn. Trees was substantially busier than lobby today and Ashley, Ryan and Jenn were a really strong trio. Very natural flows to one bartender doing guests while the other two rotated on service, and I never had to assign roles. I did have to push Ashley and Ryan on refilling frozen before rushes, otherwise we would have run out but otherwise very strong all around.

Prep List: Batched all film specials, which are flying, as well as Firewalk and Ginger Lime. Well stocked going in to the weekend. We have plenty of Bloody to start service but we will have to make more once the AM Bar Manager comes in tomorrow.


Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: Baldor tomorrow

Maintenance: Hot water and pressure issues seem to have cleared up on their own, no problems today with either.

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...
