Monday 6/8/26 Lauren/Ian



Manager Communication: Swamp cooler is doing wonders to help the circulation of heat in the liquor room, thank you so much!!!

Well, the marquee message definitely worked for the Knicks game. Packed trees from 8:30 to the end of the game. Definitely not an ideal day to have the opener also pull a prep shift. Going forward, having 4 bartenders on for Knicks games (and very soon world cup games) is going to be essential. The theaters were not very busy tonight, and I was still stuck solely behind the bar for the majority of the game. Jared and Wyatt came up huge for me and helped with changing kegs, building trays, etc. 

BAR Staff Observations:
Tevon batched and opened, so I opted to get him out of here before people started showing up for the game. I decided it would be better to not burn out one of our strongest bartenders on Monday and I would jump behind the bar to assist. It ended up being totally fine, but I was exclusively a bartender for 3+ hours of my shift tonight - had I been needed elsewhere it would have put a real crunch in theater service and/or bar service, regardless of how fast Greg is, because it was a two-person job. Jeshua sailed through his lobby coast-to-coast, and even popped upstairs to help clean up after the Knicks fans departed. - IP

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...

Eliel/Jenn 12.19

Manager Communication :  Pretty good steady morning which ramped up when the spider hit the big ones. EL Second half of the day was similarly busy, with first floor having a slower last round while Spider-Man kept the upper floors busy through close. JH Customer Comments :  A lot of frustrated customers trying to buy what looked like available seats for Spider-man. I think this will be the last day with this problem. I explained to everyone I encountered what was happening and they seemed to understand by the end of the interactions. EL BAR Staff Observation s:  Natasha was about 15 minutes late. Once she got in she recovered the lost time quickly. Then the morning was pretty easy.  Ryan was early!  I pushed Tevon back to 4pm since Isi wasn't coming. Ryan held down lobby.  I had to help with ticketing a couple of times but he was solid. Gabrielle was a great mid. EL Once the initial dinner round push of Spider-Man was seated, I was able to have Jenna help T...
