Manager Communication:
Gus and I got the kegs in the walk-in all sorted and looking good. We also batched up all the drinks for the Shorts Fest party tonight. I got the machines all cleaned, and the Infinity and Beyond moved into the appropriate chambers. We have also moved the iced tea into the bubbler and the Can You Dig It into the empty ford's bottles. - IP

Got a good amount of stuff done today

BAR Staff Observations:
Matthew and Greg got the place opened easy peasy. Gab and Jeshua got in and then Bryan shortly after to help out with the party. - IP

Greg was able to help Jeshua through the dinner round Mickey 17 in Th3, then he was able to get out of here once both bars were restocked and Jeshua closed downstairs without issue.  Bryan, Gabrielle, and Matthew absolutely crushed the event, and Gus left us set up with plenty of batches and build sheets.  Very smooth evening at both bars. JH

FOH Staff Observations: 
Just wanted to give Anthony a shout out, which I meant to write yesterday.  He is truly such a positive and helpful presence, and I have seen him offer help to both coworkers and guests without needing to be prompted.  Just an all-around good dude with a good attitude during service. JH

Hiring/Training:
Gus met with three bartender applicants today. - IP

Special Events?
Shorts Fest Opening Night! 

Opening Night screening and after-party went well!  As mentioned above, Gus had us batched and ready for the crowd, and they definitely showed up ready for some complimentary bevvies.  All the bartenders were set and ready for the party crowd, and service went really smoothly.  

I had them ring in the cocktails on a check that I later voided, just for us to get a sense of which cocktails were more popular and how many were being sold.  Around ten I batched up both Always After Me and Summarily Dismissed, as we were almost out of them behind the bar, and we ran out of Equestrian Quandary justttttt as eleven o'clock rolled around.  All back up product is in a labeled bus bin in the walk-in next to the coconut water.

I closed out the tab to NSF tenders as directed on the Event Memo, but realized I had forgotten to ask if we were meant to include tax on that check.  I printed two copies of the tab, one with and one without tax, and then closed it to tenders without tax.  Both checks are in my mailbox, if we need to go in and add in the tax amount.  My apologies for any confusion. JH

Staff Meeting Agenda notes: 
Go over menu change updates

Pay Outs:
$150- DJ
$100- Kaya GS

These Pay Outs were never entered at Trees, and I only realized after the checkout report was printed.  I can run the pay outs tomorrow, if that is okay.  Otherwise, bank math was fine. 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...
