Tuesday 9/30/25 Gus/Lauren/Ian



Manager Communication: 
This is possibly already a plan, but a reflector mirror for coming out of bar prep facing the new dumbwaiter seems prudent. -LB

Lauren took initiative to get some prep started for Thursday's meeting and impending menu flip - and with Val's call-out I had to be more hands on at the bars. Chelsea and Dion held things down around the building and it was overall a lovely evening! - IP

BAR Staff Observations:
Lydia pulled a long shift in the lobby, and I got them out right at 10. I manned the lobby until reroute at 10:30 - then I handled the lobby close (just like old times!). Really appreciated Lydia's willingness to help out - and Greg and Tevon were awesome at Trees. Especially Greg who rolled with the punches and took on the solo Trees close. I helped him out with cleaning the lounge tables and flipping the chairs - otherwise, he crushed his close. - IP 

Sick Leave/ Call outs: Val lost her dog this afternoon and was just unable to talk, let alone work. I marked her as sick in 7shifts.  Lydia is going to close lobby when we route at 10pm. 

Special Events? Black dynamite. 

86ed / counts on items:
86 Chenin-Chard

Suite 55 - 101

Prep List: 4x Autumn in NY syrup, some for NWB. Pumpkin Spice syrup. 

I cranked out 2 FWWM's, 2 lemonades and a Hinokami at night's end. Everything else we have should get us through to the new menu - but we will either have to par batch or 86 - we'll cross those bridges when we come to them. - IP

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: Baldor came. Empire liquor delivery, CWD
 US foods coming tomorrow. 

Maintenance: Trees frozen is working with eyes on it from Tevon to keep it not over freezing. Trees ice machine is okay. 

Frozens were good tonight - Trees Ice machine seems to be working out it's issues on its own now - we love a self starter! - 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: 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...

Manager Communication: Slow night at the bar, but The WOrst Person opened pretty big which was nice to see.  BAR Staff Observations: Everyone did great. Was able to get Jenn and Jo out earlyish.  FOH Staff Observations: Solid crew tonight, no issues on my end.  86ed / counts on items: Tecate Prep List : Should be all prepped up going in to tomorrow. We will probably need hot toddy at some point, but no urgency.  Over/Short on Banks: Lobby bar was $10 short.  Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: Manhattan did not come in this week, so we did not get tecate or high life. Our rep is following up.
