Sunday 7/23 Eliel & Jenn



Manager Communication: Pretty smooth and busy Morning and afternoon. EL

Service was nonstop throughout the night, with Trees still hosting a crowd, albeit a smaller one than last night. JH

BAR Staff Observations: The staff came to slay. I'm so happy to work with these wonderful bartenders. I couldn't have asked for a better team and a smoother busy shift.  EL

Great team through the night, everyone was great about communicating service needs and just ploughing through rush after rush.  Jenna and Maya held down Lobby, with Maya getting out once the fourth round Th3 Barbie was settled.  Jenna handled the last sold out Barbie solo and closed without issue.  Miguel was able to stick around until a little after six, which was a huge help getting Trees restocked and reset for dinner.  Darius took lead on the service pass, Jeshua focused on guest-facing service and split clearing the floor with Tevon, who floated between guests and service.  

I've been working since Thursday and bar staff really came prepared for these very long, very busy shifts this weekend.  It made a very busy weekend much more manageable to have a team that was prepared and engaged for what oftentimes felt like an unending stream of service tickets, restocks, and batching. JH

FOH Staff Observations:  Good Hustle all around. Kelsey was great supporting while  1 wasn't too busy. EL

Prebussing remains an issue, particularly in the larger theaters, with 10 or more racks coming down to Trees during flips.  For the last round, I spoke to the servers in Th1/2 and let them know that once they did last call in those theaters, they were not to bring anymore racks to Trees.  Both theaters had sold out and were scheduled to do last call at the same time, which would have caused a backup at Trees while bartenders were closing. JH

86ed / counts on items: We 86'd Community Spirit Vodka in the last round, and will be making the boozy Barbie special with Absolut until our order arrives (hopefully on Tuesday).  We are also very low on Paloma (with the last of it being at Trees), which is also awaiting an item from the same Southern order (Ancho Reyes). JH

Prep List: Days of Being Wild, Spanish Steps, and a keg of Watermelon Gin & Tonic should be made tomorrow.  We should also juice lemons and limes. JH

Pay Outs: $96.55 (Saturday Bagels) JH

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: Baldor arriving tomorrow and Wednesday.  US Foods arriving Wednesday. 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...
