Manager Communication: Talking menu stuff, looking exciting.-LB
Chill little bar meeting talking over some upcoming stuff and expectations for the team.-LB
There are no charging blocks in the office that accommodate USB to C for computers, which is the type that has been assigned to me. I don't know where they all go, but not everyone has a Mac. If we can order or locate some that accommodate alt computers. Thank you so much. -LB
I am not sure if there is a policy for such a situation but I wanted to highlight my grievance with it and something that we could try.  This party of 4 had two separate checks: J29 for 93.64 with zero gratuity and check J48 for 70.77 with 4.23 gratuity. I spoke with Charlie and Patrick, heard the guest is friendly and chatty always but does not tip. I went upstairs to touch their table and make sure everything was swell.  My fear here is people don't know they are doing something awful and I think we need to protect our staff from this behavior in the same way we 86 people for behavior in the theater.  My suggestion would be to notify them they will be on an autogratuity list at Trees lounge.  I know this will likely not come to fruition, but this is a really egregious non-tipping situation. -LB

BAR Staff Observations: Patrick and Tevon opened without issue, filling time with side work and keeping tabs on the items in the lowboys. 

Having Greg in at 8:30 for the Pre-Code DJ set was a stroke of genius. Was able to get Patrick out of here right when Greg got in, and he and Charlie crushed a nice and busy bar crowd. I helped out with the drink rush a little bit, but they were fully in control. Tevon had a very chill long Lobby shift and was all wrapped up before 11p. Great night. - IP

Special Events: Pre-code parade-LB

As mentioned above, was a great little party at Trees. - IP

86ed / counts on items:
Hot bananas - 10
Apple - 23

Prep List: Greed is good, blonde in hell. 

I made another blonde in hell as the bar crowd was THIRSTY. The walk-in is still mighty stocked up, aside from making some more Iced Tea and definitely more Hot Bananas. - IP
I am still waiting on my time for my costume fitting tomorrow, so there is a chance that I will not be able to come in to clean the machines. As soon as I know I will email. - IP

R&D comp checks: logged some spillage for dumped expired product. 12.91

Pay Outs: $150 for the Pre-code event taken from the change box since Trees did not have sufficient funds, post-it notes left for the closers to replace the change.-LB

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: Baldor and Haus alpenz arrived.-LB 
US foods coming tomorrow with waters for the event. -LB

Maintenance: Word here on the tough streets of Park Slope is that the elevator to Trees lounge needs a part AND the Trees ice machine needs a part. So hopefully we will have some tinkerers back to fix our lovely machinery soon. (It appears Dio's tech left a black bag of tools on our ice machine, I have left it there for them) -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 ...
