Wednesday 9.29 Edgar/Eliel



Manager Communication: Super mellow open and slow first round. I had Darius redo the inserts for the menu with the correct pages. EA

The evening was good at Trees and a few pops in theaters.  Lobby had some good traffic too. EL

BAR Staff Observations: Darius and Chelsea had no problem setting up and got going as soon as the first guests came through the first door. They handled the service perfectly fine and had no problems. EA

Chelsea did a bunch of batching while Gabrielle handled Lobby smoothly. Darius stayed until Trees+Theaters were calm, bar was stocked and side work was completed. Service was smooth. EL

FOH Staff Observations: Kaya took the liberty of sitting at the bar top when family meal came out. Sarah spoke to her reminded her that it was not OK for staff to sit at the bar top during family meal, but they are more than welcome to sit in the Mezz to enjoy their meal if it is not occupied. 

This is not the first instance of her testing boundaries with managers, however it is becoming more consistent. A senior server should know better than to do these kinds of things, especially in view of newer staff and trainees. It just sets a bad precedent that gives off the illusion that we allow senior staff more leeway to bend the rules and could be misinterpreted later as us giving preferential treatment. EA

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...
