Manager Communication: The walk-in was 43 when I arrived this morning. The back of the unit is frozen and the inside is also frosted over. I turned off the fan for about an hour hoping the frost would fall. Gus knows. We should make sure Ice Medic takes a look at the walk-in.-LB
The walk-in's compressor continued to frost over on the outside and the inside. So I defrosted the back and part of the inside with hot water. Hopefully it can melt now and chill out. I posted a sign to make sure the door closes, because that can cause the compressor to amp up to the point of freezing itself. Gus is reaching out to doctors for the walk-in.-LB
Ian is now helping defrost it further. 

It was going well for a while and then we turned the fan back on, and within an hour, it began to frost over again. I texted Gus, and currently have the fan turned off. - IP
UPDATE: Gus popped by and he and I defrosted the fan compartment once again, but unfortunately after about a half hour it froze back over - I am keeping the door sealed with the fan off overnight. Lauren - def check first thing to see how the thawing is going. Thanks!! - IP

BAR Staff Observations:
Phew it was BUSY tonight. All the way throughout the final round on every floor. Jeshua was wonderful in the lobby - he was very kind to allow the theater 3 servers some extra time before getting rerouted because they started a little late and were totally sold out. Patrick, Gab and Lydia handled an extremely busy night both at the service pass and the lounge very well. They stuck to their well assignments which was great, and they kept on top of many, many restocks. - IP

FOH Staff Observations:
Erika absolutely crushed a sold out theater 7 almost entirely by herself (with a clutch assist from James). Jeremy was really good today in a bunch of sold out theater 1's and 2's - he takes great initiative and is doing a bang-up job. - IP

Staff Meeting Agenda notes: 
Got some ideas concerning pint glass shortages and how to circumvent / totally nullify the problem. - IP

86ed / counts on items:
The count on the SMOKE ran out tonight and we still had quite a bit left behind the bars and in the walk-in - so I took the count off. I'm happy to keep the specials on counts, but we need to co

Prep List: I made Chai syrup. -LB 
Tevon made 2 FWWM, Smoke, Pistolero, Can you dig it.-LB

I made three lemonades and an unsweetened iced tea. Tomorrow we will definitely need more Smoke and more Infinity and Beyond. - IP

Over/Short on Banks:
Lobby bank was $10 short - couldn't find the mistake in the paperwork. - IP

Maintenance: I epoxied the old ice bucket, should be fine, but needs to cure for 24 hours. If any other ice buckets break, we should try to find the little plastic part afterwards. LB

Mobilebytes Issues: Bar just gave them a small tea, but there is no button for unsweetened small tea, it's still peach tea. LB

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...
