SUNDAY 09/13/2026 Ian / Jenn



Manager Communication:
Rainy Sunday - "Shrek" sales really spiked with the weather. Otherwise, business levels are remaining smooth til the afternoon. Wyatt and I got the building opened for brunch, no sweat. - IP

Similar sales to the past couple of days.  Smaller theaters selling out and the large theaters hovering somewhere around 80-100 tickets during the busier rounds.  We played the US Open at Trees, but did not turn on sound.  Overall, drink service went smoothly and it was a pretty sedate, early night. JH

BAR Staff Observations:
Greg and Nat opening lobby and Trees, respectively. Looking at the showtimes and the business levels, I decided to push Tevon and Patrick both back to 2p and 4:30p. Will decide if we need to keep Duan on or not, depending on sales growth by later this morning. - IP

We ended up not cutting any bartenders today, and it worked out across the board.  Both openers were here until about five or so, and Tevon was able to clock out to complete a batch shift once Trees got a post-dinner round restock.  Patrick held down lobby solo without issue, and Duan stuck around until about ten.  We did not need two closers at Trees, but having Duan was very helpful in getting Tevon out to start batching.  Jeshua worked the last bit of the night solo, and closed without issue. JH

Prep List:
Tevon was able to knock out his prep shift this evening, so I have deleted his prep shift for tomorrow.  I also peeled a case of grapefruits and started some GF Oleo to be strained tomorrow.  We should probably make some Irish Coffee + Paloma tomorrow, and will definitely need to make Midnight Margs (we sold 145 over the weekend :D).  I held off on having Tevon make more of the special because both bars are pretty stocked with it and ticket sales look relatively mellow tomorrow. JH

Noting this separately, the GF Soda keg needs to be charged tomorrow. JH

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping:
Baldor arriving tomorrow. JH

Maintenance: 
I disconnected the OF keg overnight, so make sure to reattach it before doors tomorrow.  It appears to be leaking at a slower pace than it was yesterday. JH

Mobilebytes Issues:
Had an odd issue at Trees late this evening when it appeared that the two POS iPads weren't recording information the same way.  We had a couple of double tickets, and then some named checks were unnamed on the other one, which we couldn't parse out a pattern or reason for.  Ultimately, none of the tickets involved kitchen so there was no double printing issues and I voided the items on the duplicate checks, since the other checks were properly closed.

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...

Sunday 08.23.2026 Ian/Jenn

Manager Communication: Opened with Gil. Definitely the second to last Sunday in August type ticket sales to start the day - change of pace from the big Spidyssey weekends. Lovely weather outside with a chance of showers briefly - will hopefully bring some people in from the park. - IP BAR Staff Observations: Nat opening Trees, Greg opening Lobby. - IP.  Pretty smooth sailing through the dinner round.  Everyone grabbed family meal and got breaks, and Danny stuck around for both bars to get a post-dinner restock in.  The last round was pretty mellow saleswise, so both bars had ample time to get started on a deep clean pre-close to end the weekend.  Jeshua got out of here shortly after I rerouted lobby, and both Duan + Tevon closed each bar without issue. JH Staff Meeting Agenda notes: Combating fruit flies - Natasha mentioned seeing a concerning amount upon opening this morning. Let's communicate to bar staff that they need to be extra fastidious nearing the end of ...
