Manager Communication: When opening lobby today there was a lot of glass in the brown water racks, I know we have some runners training and some new servers. It is also possible that they ran out of blue racks, if this happens there is usually a stack at Trees or lobby bar with empty glassware blue racks. I gave Jeremy a heads up.-LB

BAR Staff Observations: Welcome back Matthew!!! Charlie rocked helping Matthew set up Trees when the techs were working on the lowboy in lobby. And Matthew in turn helped him set up around the technicians. Super good teamwork. -LB

Once Jeshua was settled in lobby and the majority of the second round push was over on the ground floor, I had Charlie go upstairs to help out at Trees.  Patrick is so much more organized and efficient in the service well, and barely needed me to call out tickets during either sold out service push.  Charlie focused primarily on bar guests, and Matthew was great about switching between positions giving Charlie clear instructions/guidance.  Once Th1/2 were loaded in for the last round, the rest of the night was an easy ride to last call. JH

Special Events? 
The Nintendo Switch party went well, and Raekwon basically coordinated everything so that bartenders were not even aware that there was a special event going on in Th6. JH

The tech for Miss Malice went about fifteen over, which actually worked out for Trees because it gave even more of a time buffer between the sold out seatings in Th1 and 2 in the last round.  They also always bring out a lovely crowd, too. JH

Prep List: Marg, Black Manhattan, juniper syrup. We might need some more cocktail keg tops, two kegs without lids.-LB

Pay Outs: 
$64.00 (halloween candy) JH

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping:  Sarene, t.edward, southern.  Union is running late.  I placed Gus' Skurnik order.-LB

US foods coming friday. Baldor coming tomorrow.  -LB

Union arrived! JH

Maintenance: 
Dio did some stuff: the lowboy in the lobby was totally frozen over. They defrosted it and replaced the sensor and temperature dial. This should ensure it is in good shape for some time. Something to note, when they were defrosting a lot of water came out near another cooler, so if one has water in front of it, it is possible it is from another broken lowboy.
Secondly: they replaced the retractors and gaskets on the left lowboy at trees. They fixed the other retractor with WD40 and it is working correctly again. 
They will be returning tomorrow with the part for the walk-in door to close correctly. Hector in the kitchen knows, in case they come early, they will just come in and do the work.-LB

I will label and stash the other back up parts for the future. -LB

I moved the vacant dunnage to the walk-in for extra product.  
Ian and I changed all of the water filters-LB

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.
