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 in Katherine's Sinners in theater 7. Unfortunately the couple whom I helped out left early due to a family emergency. -LB

BAR Staff Observations:
Aside from the sold out "Do the Right Thing" the everything was super chill leading up to Patrick's arrival at 1p. Greg and Maya crushed their openings. 
Patrick picked up the Thursday Lobby open shift.-LB
Darius was clutch coming in early today. They all hustled hard and set themselves up for success on a short-handed team. -LB


FOH Staff Observations:
Vinny, Brea and Kyah ran the sold out "Do the Right Thing" like  a dream. Great work all around. - IP

I observed Nithya sneeze and then touch her hair and face, then a tray. We were in the Trees Service pass, I didn't want to be overbearing, but maybe a DOH reminder for servers during menu change meeting? Sorry, I cowered to say something in the moment, because I think she is scared of me.-LB
A very heart-warming goodbye to Fredo. We will miss him.-LB

Hiring/Training:
Word of the opening of a position on the bar team spreads very fast here - I think it would be good to have a thorough discussion about what direction we want to go when looking for a new member of the bar team. - IP

Bar Staff meeting: Reminding the bar staff to keep the ice wells full enough to keep the black recessed cocktail ingredients cold as well, easy to have stuff melt down to not an effective level in this heat.-LB


Prep List: Ian cranked out simple and a checks all the boxes.  I made two late night lemonades.-LB



Pay Outs: $40 for kitchen train 7150 Bar grocery 6.25

Lost & Found?: There has been a kids scooter on the stroller parking landing for about three weeks, if we want to donate it.-LB

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: Baldor, To Rise, will email Ariel deets-LB

Maintenance:
The lobby gate is beeping again - Wyatt and I tried resetting it by holding the buttons down, as this is the only directive we know about - but to no avail. Wyatt made a note in the maintenance doc and moved it to the top. The gate is operational, just the very loud, incessant beeping. - IP

I am looking into a repair person for the coffee machine LED panel at Trees, will update.-LB

In keeping with the Face/Off ice machine theme, I took the Face/Off of the Trees machine, because 
"In order to fix the machine, I had to become the machine" sorry that is a tagline riff.  It was saying the bin was full, when bin was not full. 
Troubleshooting hack for this situation: Turn it off. Press Manual Harvest to make sure it has no ice, undropped.  Press Manual harvest again after it may have or have not dropped ice. This should allow you to turn the machine back on and have it make ice.-LB

The air mover at Trees was not working, I swapped it for the clean one from bar prep. I plugged it in and it works. I am deep cleaning it because it is caked with dust. I will finish this tomorrow night. 
I went back to plug in the other air mover and noticed the outlet in the dishpit under the brooms, has a broken peg in one outlet, and the other looks like it may have shorted? I will add to maintenace doc but it is likely we need to just replace the outlet components.-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...
