Manager Communication: Busy all day again, with plenty of screenings selling out all day.  All crowds came ready to order lots of food and bev, so we were busy from the moment doors opened. JH

Not much more to add to the above other than the team handled with with more ticket sales this week, but one less bartender. It was definitely felt, but was as smooth as could be.  EA

BAR Staff Observations: Maya and Natasha set up both bars for open, and Natasha floated up to Trees once Ian arrived.  Ian held down lobby solo until Matthew came in, and was able to handle all service tickets with Dwight around to assist with ticket sales.  Trees was staffed up all morning/afternoon, which gave us time to do hefty restocks for both bars and then Ashley and Natasha took turns batching. JH

Ashley mentioned today that she felt behind all day in Trees whether it was bottle tops still being on bottles or bottles missing pour spouts altogether. Although she praised Maya for doing leaps better than before, she is still missing vital opening components to ensure anyone else can just jump into service without have to continue setting up. 

That being said, it was busy from jump for a sold out Barbie, so i'm sure some things may have had to been prioritized over others. Nonetheless everyone was spectacular today and kept it together. One note to have for Jeshua is to slow down a bit, announce his presence, and to listen for guidance from either his lead or from a Bar Manager. I appreciate the hustle, but sometimes his frenetic energy bleeds into the service push and could be potentially chaotic. 

Overall, it was a great, albeit very tiring service. EA

FOH Staff Observations: Rebecca is really great about communicating at the pass, especially when up in Th4/6.  Drink support, when available, was also very efficient, particularly Erech in the first round.  Gil stayed in communication with me for some of the second and third round Th1/2 seatings with regards to pausing drink service so servers could catch up with trays, and that definitely helped ensure that drinks were not waiting to be run for an overly long time. JH

86ed / counts on items: Low on NA Athletico, Spanish Steps, Rittenhouse Rye for batching purposes. EA

Prep List: Firewalk and coconut lime. EA

Pay Outs: $150.00 (DJ Ariel) JH 
5200-$42.19 Kitchen Groceries.  

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: Glitter should be coming tomorrow at some point. If push comes to shove, we should move the special without the shimmer. EA

Maintenance: NuCO2 stopped by this morning, shortly after we opened doors, and checked the big tank in the soda closet, as well as the lockbox outside by the dumpsters.  He said everything looked good and in working order. 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...
