Saturdays 1/31/26 Lauren



Manager Communication:  It does feel like this Saturday was busy enough to warrant another bar body. We were really busy all night at Trees, daytime I heard was pretty busy as well. Jeshua had sold out theaters downstairs and was somewhat resistant to Jared's help again. I opted to go down to support since the three upstairs were resetting and still slammed front-facing.   We were likely slightly affected by not having Jenn around during the early pushes to help achieve max efficiency.  But happy to see lots of new faces in the lobby and upstairs, just want to give them a great experience.-LB
Pretty busy throughout the day, throughout the building. New movies and celebrated movies from last year plus cold weather equals business is good.--LB


BAR Staff Observations:  Bar team gave absolute hustle today. Natasha, Greg and Matthew kept things grooving all day with no issue. Then Matthew batched and Natasha got some more batching in after Greg restocked both bars and we needed a few things.  Lydia, Gab and Matthew demolished a serious Trees crowd and rush after rush at the pass.  Jeshua kept downstairs running in seriously cold temperatures in just a T-shirt. Our bar team is really exceptional.-LB

FOH Staff Observations: There was a point that 4 servers were standing waiting for trays at Trees service pass. I asked them to at least run dishes if they are there.  If we can make this a routine ask for servers, also to do a lap at Trees to bus. I was behind the bar as we were at full speed dinner rush.-LB
Vinny on top of it all as always today.-LB
I asked Brittany and Rae if they had been shown roll-ups, they said yes, I asked them to make some for Trees since we had none, they said they had been making them for other theaters? I thought they were just making them for us. We were slammed today. It would be helpful if we can send bus tubs with runners back to DW2 in these instances, we just don't have the hands when it is this busy in addition to the theaters- After this Convo they did in fact make Trees an abundance of roll-ups. So helpful.-LB


Sick Leave/ Call outs: Jenn called out-LB

86ed / counts on items: We will likely run out of Pinot Noir by Monday.-LB

Prep List: Matthew made 2 froco, holy mountain, (he suggested putting label thumbnails on the build sheets in the bar binder since it may help people batch faster), Natasha made Menta whip, Irish blend, honey syrup and honey lemon syrup.-LB  I made some more Irish coffee mix. -LB

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: Baldor is coming tomorrow, rice milk ordered from Amazon. US foods for Monday, small order-LB

Maintenance: The dishwasher at Trees is making some unusual sounds, everything looks fine just noting.-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: 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 ...
