Jesse/Jenn 12/11



Manager Communication: Nice, busy open for brunch this morning lead by Elf, West Side Story, and Serendipity. Second round was also great, with later screenings slowly rising in numbers throughout the day. JH

Trend continued into the dinner and late rounds tonight, with solid pick ups for everything save for Don't Look Up and Ricardos. These got somewhat busy for the dinner rounds, but kept things busy but manageable. Bar crowds were sparse until 6 pm and then stayed consistently busy through close; great energy once things picked up. A very well handled day. JM

Customer Comments: A couple mentioned that they were given vague directions to the elevator and then took the wrong one, resulting in a man with a cane ending up taking some stairs. They were not very upset but just wanted to point out that we should be more specific. Spoke to the bartenders and door. JM

BAR Staff Observations: Chelsea and Natasha N had great opens and were well-prepared for a busier than usual opening round. Both NAtasha and Chelsea were able to take breaks during some downtime after Ian and Natasha K arrived. Ian was able to take a break once Ashley arrived. JM

Closing team was extremely strong tonight as well, with Tevon, Ashley and Ian crushing a busy bar and solidly sold dinner round with swings able to be cut right after the bulk of that business subsided. Kept labor tight and was able to break the closers before the swings left with no hang ups in service. JM
 
Prep List: Had Ian prep a keg of Old Fashioned and a double batch of the Daiquiri when he came in. All in-house Jungle Bird stock is split between both bars. There is enough Bloody Mary Concentrate should be made tomorrow. JH

Made a Paloma keg that will need to be charged tomorrow. May need Firewalk tomorrow but otherwise well batched going in to the week. JM

Pay Outs: $15 for almond milk

Maintenance: There was a small pool of water beneath the glass washing machine at Trees when we opened, but neither myself nor Jesse could spot a leak. It didn't grow and was swept down the drain, but just something to keep an eye on tomorrow morning. JH

It definitely subsided some as the night went on, may have been left from the night before. Kept the fan on it on high, but please have a porter clean underneath tomorrow when there is down time during the day as that area could use some attention. JM

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...
