Jenn 03.28



Manager Communication: Very mellow Monday, with a few couples hanging out at Trees from around 8 to 10pm.  Had a fair amount of walk-in sales throughout the day, which buoyed some quieter theaters. 

BAR Staff Observations: Ashley and Eliel were a big help today, with Ashley helping set up both Trees and Lobby Bar while Eliel and Chef Stewart worked on preparing the building for open. 

Once Jenna came in, Eliel was able to get out of here after some light batching and helping both bars restock.  Ashley, with her new Lead status, was great at holding down all ticketing issues in Lobby Bar with minimal assistance needed. Jenna really flowed well between guest-facing service and service bar this evening, too. 

Staff Meeting Agenda notes: Some servers have begun setting up water stations for Th3 and Th5 by the service pass at Lobby Bar. I have communicated that the practice is only allowed for Th7, but just wanted to make sure we were keeping eyes on it going forward. 

86ed / counts on items: 86’d: Biscotti Stout, Jack’s Abbey, Victory Golden Monkey, Cutwater Horchata, Cardinal Bourbon Cream Soda, Brooklyn, and French 75. 

Counts on: Other Half DIPA and Westbrook Gose. All remaining in-house Blood Simple, Hot Toddy, and Winter Daiquiri is stored at Trees. As we have less than one quart of Winter Daiquiri left, Eliel moved it into a store-n-pour and returned the Lemonade to the bubbler. 

Prep List: Eliel made Arbol Tequila and Michelada. The Michelada still needs Yuzu Juice, as we are currently out of it. 

Other than that, all non-winter-menu-specific drinks are prepped for the remainder of the week. 

Pay Outs: $45 for my Uber to Nitehawk, when Gil was unable to get in touch with Harry. 

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: Stumptown dropped off some Cold Brew kegs. 

Maintenance: There were some issues with the heat in the building at open, likely from the fire alarm going off last night, which the other blog will go into more detail on. Harry was able to reset the system and heating was back throughout the building by the middle of the first round.  

Mobilebytes Issues: The Totchos button is still on the Small Plates screen, and keeps un-86’ing itself. I reset it to a zero count shortly after we opened.

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...
