Manager Communication: 
Ricky from Singani stopped by and we talked through the logistics for the Jaws updated event for next Wednesday.  -LB

Sleepy Day except for Pre-Code which was smooth and easy. Becca and Jared were clutch as always. - IP

BAR Staff Observations:
Charlie had an uneventful long lobby shift. I'm working on getting Charlie to be a little better about getting a jump on his closes - there are easy and obvious pre-closing shortcuts that I'd be happy to point out - but I think it's more making it known that the close (especially for the lobby) should have some urgency about it. Lydia had a very easy shift today as I cut them around 8 before the pre-code party - Tevon and I handled the post show rush with the DJ.

FOH Staff Observations:
Torey has really stepped up as a server. Nice to see a long time Hawk continue to flourish. - IP

Special Events? 
Pre-code parade party and screening. We are likely going to cut Greg, but Ian is going to check in with Tevon and keep an eye on numbers -LB

Ended up cutting Greg's shift, getting Lydia out of here by 8:15 and then Tevon and I worked the party. After the first crush of orders it calmed down considerably. A note about the DJ - I think we should do a sound check with whomever is spinning (if possible) because the sound was all over the place tonight. The 1930's music is grainy and sorta muddled to begin with, so making sure that it's coming out of the correct speakers at the correct volume is more important than other DJ sets. - IP

Staff Meeting Agenda notes:
Going to have a mini bar meeting tomorrow - we will discuss any ordering/scheduling/events coming up, and I'm going to have Jenn give me a thorough walk-through of the Bobby Carroll event on Sunday. - IP

86ed / counts on items:
Hello, Sidney - 54
Reinvigorator - 29

Prep List:
I made some Horchata at the end of the night - just a single batch to make one more batch of Holy Mountain if/when we need it. Probably the last batch before menu change? - IP

Over/Short on Banks:
Difference in drawer because of payout a less cash sales was -$67 - but money is accounted for and correct.

Pay Outs:
7903 TALENT - $150

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: 
Empire arrived.
Union coming tomorrow.  EVT Friday most likely.
Baldor placed for Wed nesday and Friday.-LB

Maintenance:  
KL5 discovered our grinder blades were very dull so they replaced the grinder. That seemed to be the tie that binds the weaker coffee between the bars. Everything else seemed good. I will be performing routine maintenance on the carafes etc tomorrow as well.-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 ...
