Friday /12.27.24 Jenn, Ian & Ariel / NPP Bar

Manager Communication:
Jenn filled me in on what needed to be made / kept eyes on for the day and I got started on some batching after counting the banks. Rebecca and Jared opened up the building and we were well covered to start the day. - IP
I tried the Project Shadow today and I think it should be strained while batching since it is pretty pulpy. I strained the one in the walk-in and updated the sheet and updated bar prep binder to have it strained. - AB2

BAR Staff Observations:
Brian and Tevon crushed their openings. It was mucho busy and they flew their ships solo - great work. - IP
Was able to get Bryan and Tevon out of here after the second round settled down. - AB2
Matthew and Natasha crushed it in Tree's with no issues through the rushes. - AB2
Gabrielle was great in Lobby solo. - AB2

FOH Staff Observations:
Caleb is really awesome about helping out when the team is shorthanded or things are particularly hairy. Did a great job during a busy day time service. - IP

86ed / counts on items:
Saratoga Sparkling is at a 9 count (5 in Tree's & 4 in Lobby (coming tomorrow)) - AB2
86 Black Bar Napkins - IP

Prep List:
When I got outta here there were a couple things to batch looking forward - but nothing dire. To batch tonight or tomorrow before service:
- Sage Maple syrup & a Princes of Maine batch
- Perhaps more Elphaba Elixir - IP

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping:
Received Baldor, Union Beer, Evil Twin, Finback and Phony Negroni. All put away. - IP

Baldor arriving tomorrow morning.  The passion fruit puree should be put in the Bar Prep freezer, to get our back up stock back to twelve containers. JH

Mobilebytes Issues:
Jose brought up a good point for if anyone wanted to have alcohol with the Project Shadow special. How would it be rang in? Should we do an up charge button like how we do with Hot Toddy? If not, how can that be rung in? - AB2

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...
