Just sending on my notes from yesterday, as Ariel could not access Blogger. 

Manager Communication: 
Very mellow Monday.  Challengers dinner round still sold well, but nothing really grew too much in sales after we opened doors. JH

Staff Meeting Agenda notes: 
Spoke to Lydia about needing to tighten up her Saturday closes, especially in regards to the lowboy at Trees having been left wide open this past Saturday night into Sunday morning.  However, this conversation got derailed when I saw that she had prepped the FWWM station with something that was definitely not chili salt.  When I asked her about it, she said she had no chili salt at Trees when she opened so she subbed in chamoy instead.

I told her to dump out the product, clean the dish, and I brought up some chili salt from Lobby.  I reiterated that her openings could also use some work when it comes to precision and detail, as being out of a product is something that should be communicated to a bar manager and that bar staff should not be subbing in garnishes as they deem necessary.  She seemed to understand, but was definitely out of sorts when I spoke to the fact that she had been making drinks (FWWM) incorrectly since we opened today.  I did not think it was necessary to issue a written warning, but will make note of it in her review this quarter.

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: 
US Foods arriving Wednesday. JH

Yuzu juice is on backorder until Thursday.  It has been ordered and will arrive Thursday. JH

Maintenance: 
Dio's guys showed up just before bartenders were scheduled to arrive, so Lydia opened up Trees around them.  They got out of here just after doors opened, and were able to give me a quick rundown of what they were able to do.  They had to defrost the fan again, as it had been in overdrive trying to get the temp down Saturday night after the lowboy door was left wide open and it iced over.  

They were able to clean out the fan and related area, and advised that we keep the fan set to '0' until tomorrow morning, to give the lowboy time to come to proper temperature without running the risk of overworking the fan again.  They said that we can set the dial to '5' tomorrow when managers get in.  I looped in Ariel and told him to keep an eye on the temperature of product in that lowboy throughout service tonight.  I said that if it feels a touch warm in there, to put the dial to '3,' and just to make sure he turns the dial back to '0' before leaving tonight.

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...
