Tuesday 07.09 Jenn/Dana/Ashley

Manager Communication:
Seemed like it was going to be a pretty easy-going Tuesday sans Trivia, but Trees was poppin' for most of the night. Darius & Lydia were a spectacular team. Ian got some batching done, and we were able to get Maya out right away. AB

Lydia accidently broke the frozen machine handle in Trees (older frozen machine). Thankfully I had a spare in the liquor room and replaced it, but it was the last spare. The broken piece was very stiff, I have a feeling that piece hasn't been properly lubricated when taken apart on Monday nights. I'll follow up with Ariel who closes Monday's now to oversee frozen machine maintenance. AB

One of the PPWSL teams (Jaguars, never seen them here before) stopped by today without a heads up, right after I cut all the opening bartenders. Obviously, all business is welcome, but hinders service if we can't anticipate the volume. AB

BAR Staff Observations:
Darius was so flexible and willing to do the most for his team. AB
^He also just pulled off 5 shifts in a row and clocked out when Daniela told him he needed to take the quiz. I knew for a fact he already did but she couldn't find it. Dana confirmed he handed it to Jess and she put it in the folder the day of the meeting. I told Daniela that was something we could figure out his next shift if we still can't find it. Again, he had already clocked out, and was vocal about being exhausted. About 10 minutes later I go to check on Trees Lounge and saw that Daniela handed him another quiz without my knowledge. He was visibly irate and I can't say I blame him. AB

Hiring/Training: 
Sent a roundup of all current candidates and planned interviews.  Will update the thread as we get confirmations from applicants. JH

86ed / counts on items:
86 Summer Ale. AB

Prep List:
We're back up on Strawberry Mint Syrup & N/A Spritzer kegs. Once Milagro gets delivered, we need to dive right into Arbol Tequila, Fire Walk With Me, & Grapes of Wrath Water. Bars seem stocked enough to not 86 before Thursday. AB

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: 
US Foods arriving tomorrow. 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...
