Manager Communication:
I organized the Walk-in a bit with the kegs. Margarita keg is empty and I just connected a new full one on my way out. The empty one is next to the full one and it has been cleaned and it's ready to batch into. Old Fashioned keg should be kicking soon. - AB2

BAR Staff Observations: Patrick and Tevon were on top of it this morning. Love those guys.

Homies killed it tonight. I was able to get Tevon out early. Gabrielle killed it solo in the lobby and Natasha, Matthew, & Patrick handled things in Tree's. - AB2
Matthew made a note to pay attention when opener for Tree's sets up on Fridays. A lot of stocking was done right before/during the first serious rush of the night and was not necessarily the best time for that. We got through it fine but definitely added a lil unnecessary stress coming into the shift. - AB2

FOH Staff Observations: I haven't worked with Erika in awhile, but she is consistently positive and great to be around. World needs more Erika's
Definitely big shoutout to Erika. Rebecca was great tonight! I wanna shoutout Quetzie, Sam, Ryan, Bre, and Michael for keepin' it gangsta tonight. - AB2

Staff Meeting Agenda notes: Cleaning. I want to stay ahead of the fruit fly problem.

Prep List: Tevon prepped 

Lemonade
FWWM
Syrups
Moneypenny
Negroni

Margarita and Old Fashioned are going to kick probably tonight or tomorrow and we will need a backup

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: Empire
I ordered 3 more Frizzante kegs for tomorrow

The nasty Empire Rep came by today and got into it with me. I immediately called our rep and reported it. I've heard the stories from everyone else. We don't need that. Hopefully he gets taken off the route.

Maintenance: I deep cleaned the box fan. It was really bad. Super moldy and gross. It's working a lot better now too. I'll see what some of the others look like and give them a clean next week.
Hey Gus, the bar dish pit area was pretty stinky tonight. - AB2
Ice machine was a lil odd in Tree's tonight. It was working for a while then wasn't making any. When I left there was a little bit. I would check first thing for whoever is opening. - 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...
