Manager Communication:
Lots of getting organized for the new menu today. Everyone was on their game from the meeting this morning all through service. Got all the new product squared away in the liquor room and all the wines stocked and chilling in the walk-in. - IP

BAR Staff Observations:
It was a long day for everyone but it didn't slow anyone down. Got the openers out of here relatively early as it was pretty sleepy aside from prep for the new menu. Gab and Patrick killed it closing Trees and Lobby solo. - IP

Hiring/Training: 
Lauren got to start out the day opening Trees with Matthew, and then she got some time behind both bars to do more POS review, as well as some Filmbot reps.  She did her server trail with Rebecca in Th3, starting at the end of the first round and then opening up the second round. JH

Sick Leave/ Call outs:
No security again tonight. No issues presented themselves, but if we could just get a heads up when there isn't going to be anyone here that would be awesome. - IP

Staff Meeting Agenda notes: 
Staff meeting was wonderful today! We had a great bar meeting with everyone - got through all the drink info and housekeeping and into the food and bev meeting in great time. All the new food and drinks look and taste awesome - super pumped for the fall! - IP 

86ed / counts on items:
86 Fleur Delacour - IP

Prep List:
I batched a keg of the new Draught Margarita and a keg of the Autumn G&T.
Will need to batch the new stuff tomorrow, starting with the time-intensive syrups. - IP

Pay Outs:
$34 - 5200 FOOD - IP

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: 
Lots and lots of big bar deliveries today.  Myself, Lauren and Ian took a crack at the liquor room, and Ian is going to give us a head start on stocking walk-in wines.  With regards to the liquor room, if anyone thinks there is.a better way to shelve or organize any part of it, just loop the other bar managers in.  Gus and Ian did a great job clearing shelving yesterday, so we have a lot more space to play with. JH

Just adding to this - liquor room is looking GOOOOD. Got the Grand Marnier and the Giffard Tripel Sec on the low shelves we cleared, and after stocking the walk-in there is a good flow and good visibility of product. One note re: some of the items received - we have a case of the correct Lustau Los Arcos Amontillado for the Autumn G&T, but the bottles that were stocked on the shelf are Oloroso Don Nuno. I caught it before batching the G&T Keg, but wanted to give a heads up. - IP

Big Geyser (Gosling's ginger beer) 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...
