Wednesday 8/6/25 Ian/Lauren/Jenn



Manager Communication: 
Another busy, busy Wednesday night at Trees Lounge.  The second round was relatively mellow in the larger theaters, but Th4/6 had two very sold shows seating very close in time, and servers and bartenders absolutely crushed the busier moments.  The crowd at Trees definitely dwindled around showtime for La Haine, but it was busy on both floors for most of the night. JH

BAR Staff Observations: 
Matthew had an idea that we should consider a cue sheet that is geared toward bar needs,  (stocking/breaks) but I think this goes more to the point that we discussed yesterday regarding keeping the flow going and guidance for bar staff on busy days. I think we should try that first since the reality of coming up with something like this would be unlikely and we are all capable of discerning those times.-LB

Got Patrick out of here shortly after everyone had family meal and both bars got in a restock.  Jeshua brought down the lobby gate at 10:30pm, but I didn't route him until about 11:10pm, to give Gabrielle some space to catch up with the post-La Haine crowd at 11:00pm.  Gabrielle took lead on guest service during the La Haine seating, and Matthew absolutely crushed the sold out seating with me expo'ing and servers taking trays as quickly as we could fill them.  Really great work across all floors tonight. JH

FOH Staff Observations: 
Runners were really great about running food at Trees tonight.  Bartenders are keeping on top of using the table numbers, and have been trying to keep an eye on when guests head up to Mezz to cut down on the search time for runners. JH

86ed / counts on items: 
Big Blue (27) & Gunther's (5), both are leaving the menu after tomorrow night, so BB will probably be our next Mystery Cocktail this weekend. JH

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 ...
