Monday 08.07 Jenn/Edgar


Manager Communication: Pretty humid day, but we stayed steady for a Monday. Dinner round was pretty much sold out with the afternoon round doing big numbers as well. Late round was a bit quieter by comparison, but still had a few sellouts. Barbie is still going strong, but looks like it's starting to wrap up gradually. EA

BAR Staff Observations: Everyone pulled together for another busy Monday. Albeit, slower in comparison to the last few weeks. Jeshua and Ian kept pace with the tickets up at Trees and were constantly able to cycle glassware into the bar in between rushes to keep us afloat. Eliel set us up with juice and garnish before Gabrielle took over for the rest of the lobby shift to allow Eliel to go home and rest. 

Great work from all staff today. EA

FOH Staff Observations: Servers in the sold out 4:30 Th1 and the 6:25 Th2 Barbies were really great about pacing out ticket orders and having people run trays from Trees.  Kaya and Raekwon in particular are generally really on top of sending drink orders from the theater while doing greets, which helps bar get ahead of tickets earlier in the service push. JH

Staff Meeting Agenda notes: 

86ed / counts on items: 86 Sauvignon Blanc. Low on Manhattan Project because we're out of Method Dry. Was unsure if we would want to use Carpano Dry while we reorder or not. Also low on Y Tu Mama Mix for same reasons. EA

Prep List: We'll need a captain blood at some point if time permits, but it's not urgent as one was just tapped today. We can also make due with another Lemonade and maybe make the rest of the basil syrup so the remaining leaves in the walk in don't go brown. 

If we do decide to use the Carpano Dry, we should make another Manhattan Project since the Hatch Rye is ready. EA

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: Baldor arriving tomorrow.  Harney & Sons (only Peppermint Tea) and Big Geyser (Gosling's Ginger Beer & Saratoga) arriving sometime this week, most likely Wednesday/Thursday. JH

Maintenance: The Th7 service pass leaf was accidentally dropped down too hard, and ploughed right through the stopper and landed at a slant.  After checking it, the leaf and the joint seemed sturdy, but the stopper had a gnarled screw, which allowed for the break through.  I was able to remove all the screws so that we could get the leaf back to the appropriate side, and Edgar found a new screw to replace the crooked one, and reattached the stopper.  There were no further issues, but we should probably include a note in this week's bartender email to remind bartenders to be mindful of the force they bring the leaf down when possible.

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...
