Manager Communication:
Pretty steady night at Trees capped off by a very busy Spoons. I got the liquor order all stored away in the liquor room. Matthew did some essential batching before getting out of here around 7p. I picked the two pounds of mint and went ahead and made the strawberry mint syrup so another keg of the N/A spritz can get made tomorrow easy peasy. 

Matthew and Tevon are swapping shifts tomorrow, so now Matthew is opening and Tevon is closing. Nathaniel helped me approve the swap on 7Shifts. I do not yet have permissions established to approve shift trades. - IP

BAR Staff Observations:
Jeshua captained the lobby and did a great job, as per usual. I got Matt outta here on the earlier side so he could get home to his pupper who is home alone.  Brian volunteered to swing upstairs and was truly the hero of the night. He and Gab held down a steady bar crowd before and during STB, and he got outta here around 10:15. Gab was aces for the remainder of the Spoons showing and did a great job with a pretty steady crowd at Trees. Love this team. - IP   

FOH Staff Observations:
Shane is killin' it. Always very communicative and prompt at the pass whenever he needs something, and never misses a beat with traying and running. Ya love to see it. - IP

Special Events?
STB was very well sold and they went through a truly impressive amount of milk. They went over their end credits time by over 20 mins, but everyone was on top of it and held it down. Shout out to the crew in Th. 1 - they did a bang up job. - IP

Prep List:
Matthew batched: 1 FWWM, 1 Neon Demon, 1 Lemonade and a large batch of simple syrup. I batched the strawberry/mint syrup.

Needs batching tomorrow: N/A Spritz keg, Ecto-Chiller (whenever the shipment of Tangerine Juice comes in). - IP

Pay Outs: 
$18.00 (3 Keys) JH
$6.00 - 5460 - Fruity Pebbles for STB - IP

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: 
KCBC will be dropping off five cases of their Brooklyn Horror Fest collab beer tomorrow.  We won't be using them until the Opening Night party later this month, so I'll find a corner for them in the walk-in until then. JH

Baldor arriving tomorrow. JH

Maintenance: 
Gus was in this morning with some of Dio's guys, and the Trees ice machine appears to be working like a dream. 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...
