Manager Communication:
Busy brunch off the bat! Matthew and Natasha were great communicating with each other this morning, and Matthew swung up to support Trees once Miguel got in. The Shorts Fest crowd ordered a lot more today, and hung around at Trees after. Miguel caught us up on fresh juice while holding down Lobby. We had plenty of time to reset and even batch a little before those midday Dune pushes. Once Ian got in, we crushed sold out Dune service back-to-back. Rainy weather kept the bar full for most of the day. AB

The Dune crowd is definitely coming in thirsty but the bar never got held up and servers were grabbing trays right away. Rain outside made a lot of people hang out afterwards causing Trees to have a good crowd for majority of the night. -DL

We are down to our last of NuFoam for both bars. 

Customer Comments:
We're getting a lot of walk-in at Trees before the Dune showings. Be prepared for that early pop that leads right into the Dune showings. A constant rush of people coming in before and rushing to close out and get to their seats right before the doors open. -DL

BAR Staff Observations:
I absolutely LOVED the bar team assembled for today. We did the thing :clap: AB

Ian and Gabrielle were a joy tonight. They were clearly upset with the glassware issue and how it made thing tight at the but they kept each other and everyone else's moral high with jokes and singing through it all. -DL

FOH Staff Observations:
Had a lot of pushback whenever asking for theaters to get pre-bussed. When TH1 flipped, 13 glass racks were brought down at once. That means 325 glasses couldn't get brought down until credits. Dune II is too long of a film to wait until the end, and bartenders did everything they could to ensure a smooth service: it just isn't possible without the necessary glassware. We already have plenty of pints in rotation, so. AB

Just to add on to Ashley note about earlier- Glassware continued to be an issue all night. There were multiple incidents where I found full or nearly full trays in the server stations, especially in the Th 4/6 station. James made it high priority to bring racks to Trees but outside of him it felt like we had to constantly repeat ourselves. -DL

86ed / counts on items:
We finished the last full bottle of Blue Curacao. Will need to watch the Water of Life special until more arrives on Tuesday. -DL  

Pay Outs: 
There was a pay out of $700-Misc Operations (Sadi Go Fund Me)

Prep List:
Prepped a bunch for tonight. AB

Pina Colada was a big seller tonight. Should make extra coco lime tomorrow with the nice weather. -DL

Maintenance:
The Frozen for the In The Mood for Love is still down in Lobby Bar until the FedEx delivery comes in. According to the tracking it says it was delayed with no new estimate of the delivery time yet. The FedEx tracking id is #775349192397 -DL

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...
