Saturday 07.26.25 Jenn/Ian



Manager Communication:
Pretty laidback first round, with ticket sales picking up as the day went on.  Both superhero movies continue to sell well, and the FF4 crowd is really digging the drink special. JH    

F4 is massive, and Superman is still strong - tonight was a little hectic being down some folks and only having one bar manager for the busiest portion of the evening, but honestly, everything went super smoothly. Jared and Dion really stepped up and helped out the runner team in a big way tonight - thanks, y'all! - IP

BAR Staff Observations: 
Easygoing morning, with Matthew and Maya opening and then Lydia and Tevon coming in as mids.  Similar to last evening, we definitely prioritized having more bartenders at Trees, as Th1/2 had consistently large crowds.  But we were able to navigate restocks and support for lobby by having Lydia head down there a couple of times during service lulls. JH

Well staffed for the evening with a great team tonight. Got Lydia and Matt out of here right when the closers got in and settled - having Natasha coming in on the transition between day service and night was awesome, because she comes in and gets everything on track and ready - she takes charge more proactively than any other lead, and I think we should encourage the other leads to follow suit. - IP

FOH Staff Observations:
Concurring with Jenn's shout-out in a blog earlier this week - Kat continues to crush every time she's present at the service pass. Big Ups. - IP

Staff Meeting Agenda notes:
Would like to discuss staff food ordering procedure. - IP

86ed / counts on items: 
We are out of Ancho Reyes, which is an ingredient in the Eddington drink special.  It looks like we have enough batched to get through the rest of the weekend, but will probably need to sub something come Monday. JH

Prep List:
Will likely need to keep eyes on specials levels tomorrow after the first round, but even with tremendous business, Jenn and Tevon have kept us proper stocked up. - IP

Both bars are well stocked for service well into tomorrow, but the items that will need to be replenished in the walk-in at some point are Violet Violet, more Firewalk and Lemonade (the Sisyphus Two-Step), FroCo, possibly Big Blue, but we might be able to make it to Monday prep before we have to make any more, and a couple backup cheaters. Sorry there's so much, just kept getting pulled away and couldn't sacrifice any hands for batching - but like I said, you should be more than fine to get through the first several rounds. - IP

Pay Outs: 
$56.85 (Jenn's Uber, Friday night). JH

Maintenance: 
The lobby ice machine stopped making ice sometime last night, and was showing a 'max harvest cycle' error message when we opened today.  I did a hard reset and it has been making ice without issue since. JH

Ice machines needed a little coaxing to get going, but were operational for the duration of service. - IP
The lobby gate, however, was being a bit finicky this evening. When Jeshua went to close it, it got stuck about a foot down - Michael grabbed it and jostled it loose and it got itself back on track - we tested to make sure it would come back up and everything seems to be okay, but something to be aware of tomorrow morning, just in case. - IP

Manager Communication: Wyatt and I opened up the building in preparation for a very busy "Do the Right Thing" - otherwise it was a very quiet.  We don't get the FOH blog, so Ian didn't know about the grease trap back up, which caused some confusion this morning. Vlad said he would get to the drain in theaters 1/2 another day since today was a literal washout.-LB I put signs up to tell people to not put bags on the top of the ice machines, not considering the language barrier of Markenson etc.  I went through it with him after he replaced the boxes because he is so thorough, I believe he understood what I meant. -LB Timothy needs to get a run down about wearing an ear piece, he left his walkie on the water station, didn't even realize it. I worry he would not hear us if we walkie him. -LB Customer Comments: I half-comped a salad for a guest that was generous enough to move so two people could sit together, I didn't note that on the check, by accident. It was i...

Manager Communication: GATE UPDATE: The gate was weird coming down today. It opened yesterday without issue. But it kind of needs to be put up then down. It is a few inches from the ground, safe enough for us, but definitely something to keep an eye on. -LB Opened the building with Wyatt - No Budge was sold out but chill, same with the first couple screenings of Minecraft. Other than one absolutely dreadful guest (more on that below), everything was super smooth. - IP Ordered Green goblin since Theater 2 was having a drain back up. -LB Having Trees open to the public during this party is fine, however I think we need to avail the Trees cocktails to those customers but have to mitigate those being ordered when it is this busy. -LB I tested the Brix for To infinity. It is 15. I think the issue is the coconut milk (oil) and other ingredients have different freezing temps. I think if we push the mix every few hours it will be fine, but happy to adjust recipe if needed. -LB Ordered 2 cases ...
