Manager Communication:
Bars are short again on pour spouts. This time, they seem to be breaking instead of going missing. AB

BAR Staff Observations:
Andrea was able to leave once Matthew got in at 4:30PM. He trained Kelsey's Day 3 which seemed to be a breeze. Once Natasha got in, she batched a few necessities and went straight into a busy Bottoms service. Gabrielle stayed through the first SpoonsToons&Booze push, and stocked Trees before she left. AB

Hiring/Training: 
Kelsey had her Day 3 Lobby Close train with Matthew. She took the lead with all things FilmBot. Matthew has a very solid and clean close, and broke down when/what to start and why. Kelsey wanted to practice some classic cocktails once they finished at Trees. She is very motivated and looks for guidance with bar tools, technique, etc. There are some inconsistencies with cocktail guides that were given to her versus what is in the bar binders, maybe we can comb through those this week and clarify our spec standards. AB

Staff Meeting Agenda Notes:
 I don't have admin access to the blog yet, and am not on the list for it to automatically be sent out to. Kelsey needs to be added to the bar mailing list. AB

Special Events?
SpoonsToons&Booze went along smoothly. Very low on almond milk. AB

Prep List:
Kagemusha should be a priority. Michelada, Paloma, and PJ Punch are low, but both bars are stocked. Before the weekend, we should get ahead of Hibiscus syrup and Bloody Mary (we have plenty of concentrate). AB

Mobilebytes Issues:
Maria brought it to my attention that the Cereal Shot button doesn't immediately prompt a choice between Mr. Black and Bourbon Cream. Newer servers were supporting that never worked the Spoons event before and there were a few hiccups, maybe we can adjust this before the next event? AB

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...
