Thursday 09.19 Jenn/Ian


Manager Communication:
Tonight was relatively slow until the special screening of WILD THINGS and the double whammy of an almost sold out THE SUSBTANCE at 8:45 and BJBJ at 9:00 in theaters 3 & 5. I restocked the wines in the walk-in and organized the kegs.  A few servers asked about trying to avoid the service trays getting stinky from being stacked when wet - I asked the gentlemen in dish if they could let them dry a bit more before stacking them and they were happy to oblige. -IP

BAR Staff Observations:
Everyone was wonderful tonight. Lobby was sleepy so I cut Patrick at 8:00p - Brian hung around for the WILD THINGS rush and got outta here around 9:30p. Matthew and Brian absolutely crushed the rush for WILD THINGS and Gab was a one woman wrecking crew for the 3/5 rush. 

FOH Staff Observations:
Rebecca was dynamite at the pass with support. I had to run around a bunch between lobby and trees and bar prep and she held down traying everything up when I couldn't be there. -IP

Sick Leave/ Call outs: 
Natasha text me and Ian this morning to let us know that she was feeling unwell, and that she would be looking for coverage for her Trees closing shift tonight.  As sales were relatively mellow for a Thursday night, we elected to just cut her shift from the day and hold on to Bryan at Trees a little longer to support Matthew.  She will be submitting for sick time on ADP. JH

Special Events?
Decent crowd for WILD THINGS - good rush for theater service and a little pop around 11p at trees after the Q&A. Matthew handled it solo and was superb as usual. -IP

Staff Meeting Agenda notes: 
One of the projectionists was doing some work out front with the gate halfway up, and let a guest in about ten minutes before open.  The guest said they had asked if we were opened yet, and was ushered in, even though we were not.  If we can remind Projection to please not let in guests before doors are opened, staff would certainly appreciate it. JH

86ed / counts on items:
Officially 86 on Ruby N/A Wine -IP

Prep List:
Matthew banged out a small batch list - made a double of the Cranberry Bog special, one Firewalk, and a big simple syrup. I batched a Dolan's Caddy cheater, a Neon Demon and a Honey Syrup. 

Will need to probably batch Mr. Fusion tomorrow and Nightmare Material when we get the Banane du Bresil. Otherwise should be ready to rock. -IP

Pay Outs:
5200 - $9.98 from Trees Drawer via Chef Stewart -IP

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: 
Spoke to the reps from Threes Brewing today.  Their kegs tend to be on the pricier side, but they did say that if we order at least two kegs (which is easy for this location) at a time, they could definitely knock the cost down a bit. JH 

Josue from Sarene popped by to see Gus - brought a sample of Wild East Pilsner and Stout - but didn't have a sample of the Czech Dark Lager Gus had inquired about. He mentioned it would be packaged next week. -IP

US Foods arriving tomorrow. JH

Stumptown arriving Tuesday. 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...
