Tuesday 8/4/26 Lauren/Ian



Manager Communication: So unfortunately NuCo did not make it to us today. I spoke to Gus today. He is doing well, he said they came by last Tuesday and messed with our nitrogen unit.  Then the issue happened on Wednesday with our drafts all going flat. So they switched to the back up tank, which they thought was CO2.  I harassed them every few hours for a new eta. I told them I wanted to be here when they arrived tomorrow so they will come tomorrow between 12-2.  I hope the gas level holds us til tomorrow.-LB 

Everything held up fine for tonight's service. Hopefully NuCo will show up tomorrow and get everything hunky dory. Another night of deft management from the whole team. Jared's anticipation and handling of the A/C outage in theater 5 was beautifully executed by Christine and Becca while we were absolutely weeded at Trees lounge with a packed Trivia and sold out 1's and 2's all night. - IP

BAR Staff Observations: Bar team still functioning at a pace and skill level that we need, head and shoulders about Spiderman.  And they are all working on some really fun and delicious drinks. I feel very proud of them.-LB

Seconded. Team is crushing the demands of these extremely thirsty, sold out crowds. Everyone is spelling each other for breaks at times that make sense. They're definitely finding a groove. Lydia was once again a machine at the service pass for sold out Spidermen and WTO/99 while Tevon, Darius and Duan made easy work of a very busy Trivia. Greg had a really busy lobby with lots of sell outs and a lot of guest facing service as the documentary crowd overflow hung out in the lobby for a while before and after. - IP

FOH Staff Observations:
Thursdae was everywhere this evening and was a really nice source of positivity in what could have been a challenging shift. - IP

Special Events?
WTO99 and Trivia. Very full on top of sold out Spidermen and Odysseys. Team was up for the challenge, as per usual. - IP
 
Prep List: 
Ian was an amazing machine and batch a bunch of stuff we needed when he got in. I added an hour prep shift for Matthew tomorrow ahead of his open, since he offered and this week is unrelenting in the consumption of our guests.-LB
Made OF and Negroni kegs, 2 FWWM and 2 Lemonades. I made more simple and a batch list for Matthew and left it written on the white board: 
- 50 Year Storm x2, Fro-Co x4, FWWM x4, Paloma Cheater x4, O-Ren Keg. - IP

R&D comp checks: 
$25.00 fall menu R&D. 

Over/Short on Banks:
The drop and bank were fine but there was a discrepancy of $17 between what was written as cash tips and what was turned in. The slip attached to the cash had $95 written on it, but the cash tips only amounted to $78. Unsure if it was just a miscount, but wanted to note it here. - IP 

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: 
US Foods, Baldor arrived
CW, Wilson Daniels, Southern, Union tomorrow. Manhattan Beer Thursday. 

Maintenance:
I turned off the Nitrogen tank before leaving for the night, as requested. - IP

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....
