Manager Communication: Slow first round today, plenty of time for openers to clean low boy bases and stock up. Not much else to report from early service. JM

Second round was pretty busy for a weeknight, helped along by West Side Story and the Found Footage Festival Screening. Last round had some decently-sold showings as well. JH

BAR Staff Observations: Chelsea got stuck in traffic and ran 15 minutes late for her open. A well stocked bar from the close in lobby made it easy to roll into service. Great team on today with Gab, Chelsea, Eliel and Ian. JM

Special Events? The Found Footage Festival screening in Theater 1 was a treat. It sold fairly well, and there was a small crowd afterwards at the bar checking out their merch table and getting one last round at Trees. JH

Staff Meeting Agenda notes: At next week’s menu meeting, when we get to the bar portion, I would suggest including a quick review of how to navigate the glasswasher at Trees. There is still some confusion about where things go and how they should be sent through the machine (e.g. double stacking glass racks in the machine, not placing a cover over water glasses, leaving dirty racks in the wrong location). JH

86ed / counts on items: 86’d Barrier White, Evil Twin Sour, Finback Pilsner, Lambrusco, and Mulatschak. 

Prep List: Waiting on some more items to arrive to batch the new drink specials for tomorrow. JH

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: Lots came in today. With the elevator down we had to get creative, big thanks to every for help from the bar team to Jeremy and Jeanette, it seemed like everyone lent some help. Baldor en route tomorrow, all other orders came in as placed. JM

Maintenance: The frozen machine with Ginger Lime at the far end of Trees kept seizing during service, so Ian defrosted it and emptied it. He cleaned it at the end of service and realized that the black spiral portion of it had not been reattached properly, so it had not been rotating causing the product to seize. 

Just something for bartenders to keep an eye on when cleaning the machines on Sunday. JH

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...
