Saturday 8/1/26 Lauren/Ian



Manager Communication: 
In the rare occasion we run out of CO2, we should add that stuff to the standards guide. As I am just a little unsure putting it back together.-LB
NuCo came and refilled out main tank, we do need to reach out and talk to them about getting a full back up tank. I will also try to fill out the protocol for the SOP manual next week since there is nothing in there for this very rare situation.-LB

Just slam city all night. Everyone was turnin' and burnin'. Pre-bussing was on point. Servers never let any drinks back up for any of the sold out shows. Everyone stepped up to the business levels. - IP

BAR Staff Observations: Natasha and Danny make quick work of back to back busy theaters. Like a light breeze blowing through.-LB
Jeshua was over 30 minutes late for his shift. I will be issuing his write up tomorrow. For the record, I think Natasha was just about 30 minutes late for her shifts as well. She was not clocked in at 9:30. When I went down to drop the bank at Trees she was there just setting up the bar. I told her she was not clocked in. She did not ask me to roll back her in-time.-LB 

Big shout out to Sam - the kid is a total pro. Moves with urgency but never seems frazzled. Tonight it was a stark contrast between how he works and how Patrick and Lydia work. Patrick and Lydia are regularly unfocused, if not actively avoiding facing guests and ignoring growing stacks of glassware. Several times tonight I had to explicitly remind both Patrick and Lydia to pay attention to the bar and also to keep the glassware restocked, something other members of the bar team have no trouble doing, even when we're completely slammed. I would hope everyone would want to be on top of their shit to support their fellow bartenders and servers - hopefully they can get in the swing of things after the initial culture shock of this weekend. - IP

FOH Staff Observations: 
I saw Ant on his phone in Theater 1 through the window so I popped in to ask him if he was on a break, to which he replied no. I said get off your phone.  He then came to Trees to tell me I should have asked him to go on a walk to tell him to get off his phone since all his coworkers are now looking at him. I then told him it is a pooled house, they should be looking at you and they would get the same treatment. I also told him next time I won't stop in, I will just prepare a write up for him.-LB

Fiona and Meghan are excellent new hires - they are always helping out with anything and everything to make everyone's night smoother. - IP

Prep List:
We are flying through the Simple Spider - I made more for tomorrow and 4qt more of hibiscus vodka. - IP

Pay Outs: 
$24 grocery

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: 
US foods placed for Monday. Baldor coming tomorrow-LB

Saturday 11.22.25 Wicked Day 3 Jenn/Lauren

Manager Communication:  Th1/2/3 were pretty much sold out for the day, with Wicked doing really well and Bugonia / Frankenstein taking up the smaller theaters.  Definitely a lot more kids coming through for Wicked this time, just as a heads up.  Sentimental Value is also selling out the smaller theaters, too.  Trees also had a group of runners (probably between 10-12 folks) hang out for drinks and brunch post-run.  A couple of more groups came through throughout the day and kept Trees happily busy during the early rounds. JH If we can change the temp on Trees lounge to 70 for this busy stretch, it gets really hot back there when they don't stop moving. -LB Wowie. everyone busting their butts today and I blame L. Frank Baum.  If we didn't switch to the plastic soda cups, we would have drowned today. Made it optimal. I think we need more empty grey racks, they were thin in circulation for the last round. I don't know which ones to get. If someone can weig...

Jesse Sunday 1.5

Manager Communication:  Holiday level business keeps coming, we had a very busy day overall at the bar. Movies kept service bar going strong through 9 pm and then the bar stayed crowded with a group of people watching the Golden Globes. No issues with getting overly busy, however, as the push to service bar died right as the awards show started and a crowd grew at the bar. We were able to get all duties done tonight; batching, cleaning projects and strong service. The 4 pm rush was very heavy in particular, with Theatres 1, 4 and 6 very tightly seated but we never ran overlong on timing. Customer Comments:  We had a guest come to the bar around 4:30 to complain about some late food, which was dropped by a manager. Julie had a flag that she forget to ring until right before check drop and the guests complained about the wait, but were happy with our resolution of some passes and goodwill discounts on the check. BAR Staff Observations:  Everyone did a really excellen...

Monday 9/1, Labor Day, Gus/Lauren

Manager Communication: Sleepy start. Carly and I opened the building Customer Comments:   Lol, Jeshua provided me with an entertaining exchange. He walkied for an MOD, I came down and there were two teenage boys trying to see Weapons. They did not have ID. The younger looking one claimed to be 18 and had shown Jeshua a photo of his Polish passport. It said he was 25. So I told them that they can't come in. I appreciate Jeshua's keen eye on the upholding of our policies. They were clever at trying to negotiate their way in, but lacked some common sense. -LB BAR Staff Observations: Charlie opened the Lobby, Greg upstairs. Went off without a hitch. Greg was rocking  FOH Staff Observations: Sam was crushing support. Madison hustling for 4/6 (getting that first hot toddy of the season up there hot UGH too early for this.) Runners helping out everywhere. Good crew.-LB Hiring/Training: Nia in it to win it with Tevon.  She has brought a nice, refreshing attitude to the bar team....
