Manager Communication:
We got rocked a bit tonight. Was real busy in Tree's. I had little to no presence in Lobby because of it. We had a lot of peeps in Tree's and back to back sold out TH1/TH2. We got through it ok but definitely popped off. - AB

Something I want y'all to keep in mind, I like Lauren's email about soda's and if not stocked, it is annoying changing soda's now. Having to run to liquor room and get a 5 Gallon Sprite to run down is a lot but it is what it is. If there is a better system we can figure out together, I would like to discuss but keep in mind that that will be a thing going forward. - AB2

BAR Staff Observations:
Gab was awesome rocking out Lobby by herself after Jeshua left. Jeshua was great as he was helping cover Tree's and also willing to help us stock and make sure everyone was good. Patrick held down the pass and we got through the rushes. Natasha and Matthew were absolutely superb in Tree's. Natasha is absolutely tremendous (the number one option) when it comes to the pass but today I wanted to give Patrick a shot at truly taking the reigns. - AB2

FOH Staff Observations:
An absolute all star crew tonight. From Quetzie to Rebecca, Shae to Vinny, Jose, Tiffany, Alayna, Caleb, Monica, and Michael. I am so thankful for the crew of servers tonight. Everyone absolutely crushed it. - AB2

Special Events?
Softball home girls both STAYED & PLAYED (Sir Mix-a-lot style). Peeps hung and had a good time. - AB2

Staff Meeting Agenda notes:
I think more emphasis needs to be put on opening bartenders setting up the shift for success. The whole shift rides on the backs of being setup for the shift and is either made or broken by this detail. - AB2
I have a note (mentioned below) about batching that I would also like to express at the next Bar Meeting. - AB2

Prep List:
I double batched an Iced Tea but did not have time to batch more. I really want to ride home the idea that we need to batch more than we do. I 3x batched the Smoke cocktail on Monday and we still have it/will need to batch some tomorrow. This is the type of thing I would like implemented for every cocktail. I do not think we should be stressing about batching on a Friday night. We should be "over" batching in order for us to go through the weekend smoothly without even having the ability to consider being stressed about having product in house. I would love to talk about this at the Bar meeting on Tuesday. - 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...
