Friday 04.19 Jenn/Ashley

Manager Communication:
This bar looked like a SARDINE CAN from 7 to 10:30PM. Numbers weren't too crazy, besides two Civil War screenings & the last Dune II. Tevon & Ian split up some batching duties, and were both out before 9. Jeshua was excellent solo in Lobby, and communicated whenever he needed glassware. Matthew & Natasha have these Friday closes down to a science, always perfectly coordinating tasks throughout the night. AB

BAR Staff Observations:
Tevon ran around this building helping with glassware, batching, stocking, covering bars for others. Nitehawk runs on Tevon. AB

FOH Staff Observations:
Jovani & Michael were constantly present and helpful at the pass. AB

Staff Meeting Agenda notes: 
Just a reminder for opening bar managers to make sure we are checking in with lobby bartenders about Sasquatch Sunset being a MubiGo option this week, and keeping that phone charged up.  Tevon was on top of it today, which was a dream. JH

FOH Blog will go into more detail about projection issues today, but there have been several occasions in the last week of service where communication could have been clearer between management and projection.  Ultimately, when a screening goes down, it is front of house staff, largely servers and managers, that are dealing with customers, whose range of emotions can vary broadly.  While projection is working on resolving the issue, it certainly doesn't help to have managers needing to interrupt them so as to better handle guest expectations. 

Maybe we could schedule a time for projection and floor management to meet to go over plans and strategies based on the the typical issues that occur when a screening goes down (i.e. which theater servers are connected; can a movie be restarted and, if so, how long should we tell guests to wait; when do we call it and cancel a screening; etc.)?  Similar to how we try to maintain consistency in how we handle fire alarms that occur during service. JH

Prep List:
We can finish the One Last Ember batch once mango puree is delivered in the morning. We can also get started on some more Mr. Fusion. Peach Tea Concentrate also wouldn't hurt! AB\\\\\

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: 
Big Geyser (ginger beer) arriving on Monday. 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...
