Jesse/Jenn 05.17



Manager Communication: Great Patio crowd today, with a slightly more mellow than previous weeks' Trivia crowd this evening at Trees.  First round was pretty quiet, but second and third round kept all floors and theaters busy until close.

BAR Staff Observations: Ian and Dylan rocked Trivia, with Jesse taking on floor service during.  Ian got a lot of cleaning and stocking sidework done during the first round, so Trees was well-prepped for Trivia guests.  Once Trivia wrapped up, Ian did a big restock and got out of here, with Dylan set for a very smooth close.  

Jesse opened up Lobby Bar, which Ashley took care to heftily stock when closing last night to help him out today.  Ryan came in to close Lobby at 5, and handled the evening solo, with a pretty steady Patio crowd throughout the evening.

86ed / counts on items: We are almost out of Four Roses.

Prep List: I strained the Strawberry-Infused Gin, and made Hibiscus Syrup and a Strawberry Mansion keg (charged and ready for service).

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: Other Half (kegs), Sarene (Casamara Alta and Cider, Pilsner, and Sour kegs), Southern (Ojo de Tigre).

Kim stopped by and grabbed a box of Ojo de Tigre and a bottle of Rhubarb Bitters for Williamsburg.

Maintenance: The basket holding the Blue No. 2 dish washing liquid at the Trees glasswasher came out of the wall and will need to reaffixed.

Both bubblers holding Bar With No Door seized up during service, which we now believe is due to the cream thickening and freezing at the base of the container.  Both bubblers were emptied, cleaned, and filled with water for overnight, and Bar With No Door has been transferred into store-n-pours for the time being.

Mobilebytes Issues: Lobby took a staff token for a True Grit, and we realized at the end of the evening that we are unable to apply any type of discount to it.  Gerard voided the item, and then rang it in as an Open Liquor item which we were able to apply the discount to.  

Going forward, would it make sense to have a Token Discount True Grit/Dusk Til Dawn button added, or ring it up under an Open Liquor item like we did tonight?

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...
