Manager Communication: Busy, busy first round, into a very buys dinner.  Ticket sales climbed all day before doors, so I expect much the same tomorrow. JH

Sold out dinner, mostly sold out late round. No AC in the lobby and Trees. I appreciate that it's getting worked on, but those conditions were pretty unfortunate and unacceptable. Fingers crossed it's fixed by tomorrow because I don't think we can do another day like this. I had to stop service a little earlier than usual because we just couldn't keep up and were all feeling the heat exhaustion. EA

BAR Staff Observations: Bar held it together as best as possible, but the heat just got to all of us today. Morale was pretty non-existent by the end of the night as everyone was just exhausted and taking turns going to cool down in the walk in. For what it's worth, I can definitely say I've never seen Andrea upset until today and she's usually very self sufficient and stoic. Nevertheless, she was able to close out the night relatively ok. 

I was able fill in the gaps for service to make sure they got through all rushes on both floors and make sure everyone had a second to breathe, but as mentioned above, it was stressful for all parties involved. Again, let's make sure the bar gets the breaks they need tomorrow incase the AC isn't fixed and that we're actively involved in stepping in for them.

86ed / counts on items: 86'd Belle de Jour, Coffee & Cigarettes, Dutchess Helles Lager, Kombucha, Ruby Hibiscus, and Sauvignon Blanc (Crosby). JH 

86 Jungle Bird.

Prep List: I stocked as best as possible to start the day. The only thing I didn't get a chance to make was Michelada. I didn't make any Jungle Bird as we didn't have the banana liquor to make it. I washed out the bubblers and put water in them so they wouldn't run dry. 

Garnishes should be prepped first thing tomorrow. Juices should be looked at as I didn't have a chance to take stock on what we have. 

Rittenhouse Rye and Ginger liqueur has been taking to the bar for the liberty special. EA

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: Baldor & US Foods arriving Wednesday. JH

Maintenance: It doesn't feel like any of the aircon is working at either bar.  All four thermostats were placed on a cool hold and never got below 70 (Trees was between 73-77, while Lobby never dipped below 78).  I let Paul know to pass on the message to Palco, so hopefully they can check it out when they're in to work on Th3 later today.

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...
