Manager Communication: Steady day overall, not a ton of business growth throughout the day but we did some walk in ticketing to make for a good dinner round. Got a nice bar crowd as well before the event and dinner round, then had the bar cleared for an amazing event.

BAR Staff Observations: Chelsea held it down very well all day in lobby. Eliel opened strong and then did some batching before leaving and Ian and Gabriel were more than enough coverage for the theater service and after party for the event tonight.

FOH Staff Observations: Big thanks to the event staff today, who rocked the theater and were very on top of drink service and then did a great job passing food and bussing the bar during the event.

Special Events? Summer of Soul Th1: Hugely successful event. They dropped to an expected guest count of 50 and then back up to 100 at the time of the event. We rolled with it and had plenty of warning for chefs and bar to prepare and adjust. Based on our expected guest count, I had cut Eliel rather than hold him until the party and even with the increased totals, staffing was perfect. Q&A and theater break down both ran long and into the late show of Scream but staff hustled to get the theater broken down while the event servers transitioned out to do hand passed. Props to staff for being flexible and on point all night.

Prep List: Eliel made a Paloma keg and Careful What You Wish For. Will charge the keg tomorrow.

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: Baldor tomorrow. Interboro, Remarkable and Empire came today before the elevator was fixed, so product was downstairs and no empties got taken but we did get the product up and put away as soon as the elevator was back online.
