Wednesday 1/29/25 Ian/Lauren/Jenn



Manager Communication: If the servers could be reminded that they should not take empty dollies from Trees lounge, it is unsubstantiated speculation that this could be happening. We have been short dollies for our, clean/dirty/etc system.-LB
Ian's R&D is on point! His Junglebird has WINGS. We cost checked it and he is gonna tweak recipe a bit.-LB 
Patrick started infusing some vermouth trials for Spring Menu.-LB

BAR Staff Observations: 
First round was busy, dinner round was much more mellow, and the last round brought a couple of very sold screenings, so both bars were pretty busy throughout the evening.  Both Bryan and Matthew were able to get out of here once both bars had completed the initial service push for the last round.  Gabrielle and Patrick closed each bar without issue. JH

Special Events? Happy Tet and Lunar New  Year to all! 

Staff Meeting Agenda notes: 
Lauren printed and laminated the comps/void sheets, and they have been placed in all bar binders and under the cash drawers at each bar. JH

86ed / counts on items: The lyre's classico is on a count. We have 6 bottles of it to do the NA Aperitif, but the serving size of a pour is much less than a can, so in lieu of confusing servers with two buttons we will 86 it upon it running out. Hopefully the cans will be back in stock for next week. 

Prep List: Negroni keg batched.-LB

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: Finback, Southern, Union came. -LB
Baldor scheduled for tomorrow, I was gonna place an order for Saturday but we are pretty good. Jenn will be keeping an eye on NA goods during my PTO.-LB

Maintenance: I installed the soap dispenser and paper towel holder for managers to wash their hands in the dishpit, I labeled that it is not a handwashing station. 
I also descaled the bar dishwasher with the product recommended by our dish tech. I will add this to my monthly maintenance routine. -LB  

The Ommegang cylinder in the walk in continues to be an enigma.  I attached a new keg during service this evening, but it would not pull any product through the line until a line was opened at a bar.  No other kegs share this problem, and I know we've had finicky Ommegang kegs this past season, but I do not know what may be causing the issue. JH

Servers said that the Th3 water station no longer works, but I hesitate to put it on the Maintenance Doc because some servers say that it does work.  I defer to somebody a bit more knowledgable in server stations maintenance to check it out tomorrow, when possible.  It definitely jams up the service pass when there is a busy rush for Th3.

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...
