Thursday 4.30.26 Gus/Jenn

Manager Communication: 

Easy open. James and me beasted it -GS 

The second round was busyyyyyyyy for a Thursday night.  Encore screening of Butthole Surfers and TDWP2 is easily selling out our larger theaters.  Busy busy weekend ahead. JH

BAR Staff Observations: 

Gabrielle had some really thoughtful things to say about the bar, staffing and such. Will share at the meeting on Tuesday

Once closers were in, lobby did a big restock and I had Greg float up to Trees just as the second round was hitting Trees Lounge.  Definitely needed the three bartenders, as it freed me up to not only expo, but tray up drinks.  Excellent work across the board, guests at the bar were attended to and no drinks were left to die in the pass.  It was a very busy ninety minutes or so, but everybody absolutely crushed it.  

Got Greg out of here and held on to Gabrielle to handle the late round TDWP2 and the Bingo crowd.  At 10:15pm, I went down to lobby and sent Jeshua up to Trees to help get Matthew over the finish line and so Gabrielle could get cut.  I worked the last 15 minutes of lobby service and then routed the first floor.  Once the floor had been bussed, Jeshua went back down to lobby and closed without issue, as did Matthew.

FOH Staff Observations: 

Tori 

I do not know what the above note was for, but I would also like to shoutout Torey for being a great presence at the Trees service pass during that second round crunch.  He is always positive and very quick to lend a hand where needed. JH

Special Events?

Bingo was an absolutely smashing success.  Filled up most tables (it took Trivia forever to get that type of crowd!) and definitely brought a ton of business to Trees Lounge.  The event went well, and plenty of folks were asking when the next one would be scheduled.  It did run a little longer, closer to wrapping up around 10:30pm, but that did not adversely affect service.  I would definitely suggest an extra closer at Trees for any future Bingo events, because Gabrielle had to pull a long one today.  Myself + Matthew reset the floor.  JH

Staff Meeting Agenda notes: 

(note for bar email) A manager will make the call when a bartender is cut, barring exceptional circumstances.  We are aware of how long staff has been clocked in and will do our best to get everyone out in a timely manner.  However, business levels can certainly impact that, leading to longer shifts. JH

Both Gabrielle + Matthew commented that having the floor at Trees preset with more tables definitely appeared to encourage guests to sit and chill both before and after their movies.  Really nice vibe. JH
