Friday 11.18 Jenn/Nick



Staff Meeting Agenda notes: A lot of open and partially full boxes in the Liquor Room today during inventory.  Let's make sure we are checking in with new hires and letting them know where they should be grabbing and stocking wine from.

Also, Lobby keeps getting set up with Malbec, even though it is off the menu.  If we could reiterate that note in next week's bar email, it should help get everyone on the same page. 

Ian's second prep shift went very well, with almost all syrups, infusions, and syrups prepared for the entire weekend.  As we are focusing on keeping fresh lemon/lime juice stocked behind both bars for guest cocktails, Ian helpfully suggested that we use cleaned Miller High Life bottles for both juices behind Lobby Bar and lime juice up at Trees.  As they're much smaller than the other bottles we use as cheaters, this will also help keep bartenders more mindful of keeping them stocked with fresh juice.

Pay Outs: $3.49 (Ingredients for Bar R&D) JH

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: Kim brought over two bottles of Teelings from Williamsburg, so the How's the Despair special should be good through the weekend.

Baldor arriving tomorrow.  Harney & Sons (Butterfly Pea Flower & Chai Concentrate) and Big Geyser (Ginger Beer) arriving Monday.  Stumptown arriving Tuesday. JH

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...
