Friday 10.03.25 Jenn/Gus/Ian



Manager Communication:
Menu Change Day was a smashing success! Great job to all of the openers who set up the rest of the evening for success. It really seemed like everyone locked in at the meeting and thoroughly prepared for today - across the board very smooth service, and a relatively seamless integration of the new menu items. Wonderful work, everyone! - IP

BAR Staff Observations:
Tevon and Matt are the opening dream team - and then having two more leads coming in to close was positively luxurious. Hung on to Matt until after the last round of OBAA had finished its initial rush, then Charlie and Nat absolutely crushed the close. Gab was easy breezy down in the lobby. Great job all around - IP 

FOH Staff Observations:
Tiffany made a good observation that I hadn't considered before -- the Skog looks almost exactly like the Orange Wine, and as it is also served in a rocks glass, there is very little differentiation - and we want to be extra sure we're not mixing up an N/A bevvy with a glass of vino. Not sure how we want to differentiate, but I think it would be a smart extra precaution. - IP

Staff Meeting Agenda notes:
I think the menu change meeting was a smashing success - everyone seemed not only very informed with all of our new additions, but also very excited for them. That energy is great and infectious and I am excited to roll into the holidays with it. - IP

I did my best to tidy up the liquor room and get it in some semblance of order for tomorrow morning. - IP

Prep List:
Bars are well stocked from menu change - there may be some odds and ends to see to, but the staples are well backed up. - IP

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: 
Baldor arriving tomorrow. JH

Maintenance: 
Draft Choice was able to check out our glycol machine, and what we thought was a leak was actually just a build up of condensation because some tubing wasn't properly insulated.  He wrapped it up for us, so we should be good going forward.  He did also test the glycol in our machine and the machine itself, and he said that it was operating fine. JH

Mobilebytes Issues: 
We have Sazerac Rye listed on our menu at Trees, but there is no button in MB. If we could get that added (for $14 as noted on the menu - with cocktail upcharges attached), that'd be swell! - 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 ...
