Manager Communication: Consistently busy at Trees from open onward with crowds from both Barbie and Trivia as well. It made for a tight service. 

I printed out QR codes for use on Trivia nights that were laminated and put on the tables to help with the menu shortage that occurs on this night behind the bar. I'll be sure to gather feedback from the bartenders after tonight. EA

BAR Staff Observations: Solid open from Eliel and Tevon. Tevon had about 30 mins post doors before he got hit by the sold out theater, but jumped right into service. We did get bogged down a bit with both bar guests and tickets, so I was able to hop in and dig us out of the weeds. EA

Between Trivia and Barbie, having Maya as a mid was hugely helpful this evening.  Service was pretty much nonstop from 5:30 up until last call, and everyone behind both bars really did their utmost to keep service running smoothly.  Was able to get Eliel and Tevon out of here right after Trivia concluded, and Maya did a restock and gave Natasha a headstart on closing Trees.

Darius held down lobby solo all evening, and was okay with a later routing, as Trivia did run a little long and Trees was still in the middle of the late night Barbie service rush. JH

Hiring/Training: Taurean is set up on both SFly and MobileBytes, and her training schedule and ADP onboarding information was emailed.  Her first training shift is opening Lobby this coming Thursday, and I will be sure to collect the necessary documents and start her employee file once she arrives. JH

Special Events? Trivia was a packed house yet again, with lots of business up at Trees. Shay & Kevin killed it as usual. JH

86ed / counts on items: 86'd Athletic & The Manhattan Project (Hatch Rye infusing overnight). JH

Prep List: The Manhattan Project and Everything Goes With Pink should be batched before doors tomorrow.  Another keg of Watermelon Gin & Tonic should be made and charged, too. Those are top priority, but everything else needs to be batched, too, as we just could not spare anyone for batching this evening.  Both bars are stocked and ready for service though, just a matter of getting the batching done earlier in the day. JH

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: US Foods arriving tomorrow.  It's a big one. 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...
