Friday 10/2 Gus/Jenn/Ian



Manager Communication: 
Got a ton of stuff done in the AM. When we opened every bar had all the things they needed. We had menus ready to go. Good times.

Wyatt out sick so it was just James and I after Gus, Rebecca and Jared left - and suffice it to say, we crushed. The team in general is soldiering on through the stress and frustration of navigating and getting used to the new system, and everyone put in very good work tonight. - IP

Customer Comments:
The early leader for "favorite new drink" is without a doubt the Pineapple Express. Big ups, Darius!! - IP

BAR Staff Observations:
Jeshua, Knibbs and Nat crushed a busy Friday night. Jeshua seems to be a little more frazzled with the handhelds - likely due to the extremely small font size. Just something to bear in mind when we're working with him. Gab had a busy night in the lobby too - took care of business like she always does. - IP

86ed / counts on items: 
Safety Glasses was on a count.

Over/Short on Banks:
On the lobby close, the recorded cash sales were $56 (so, $356 total), but the cash drawer closeout screen on the POS said the expected cash was $337.50ish The drawer was perfect - had $356 exactly. We entered the $356 on the cash drawer checkout screen, and I acknowledged the overage of $18.50ish with my manager pin. 
When we went to do the Shift review, it said that the house was owed $18.50ish. I am unsure why only some of the cash sales were accounted for, but between the $37.50 in expected cash and the $18.50 owed, that becomes the expected cash sales of $56. TLDR: the money in the drawer was correct, but the logging of the cash sales in the system were somehow misallocated. - IP

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: 
Empire isn't coming till Monday.

Maintenance:
Cider line continued to misbehave all night. Didn't have to 86 at any point, but was back and forth to the walk-in with some frequency. Should have a tech look at it (unless we hook up a new keg when we get one and the issue resolves itself, in which case it was the keg's pressurization or something) - Amity line calmed down and started pouring normally - must've just been a quirk of the keg. - IP    

Toast Issues:
Concerning the over/under situation: The money was correct, but the input in the system remains somewhat of a mystery - if we could get a rundown on what this issue could be and how to avoid it, that would be great - thanks! - IP

Manager Communication: Solid Open Lots of forward motion toward menu change and such. Looking good.  If it is at ALL possible to have it say THEATER 1 and THEATER 2 at the top of the ticket the way it does on the kitchen tickets that would be extremely helpful. This is a service issue at TREES for sure during busy times. It will lead to mistakes.  There are also lots of handhelds still printing multiples ie. 2 lemonades vs lemonade lemonade. It seems across the building and across menu. So I think a fine eye to just make sure that is all worked out or things may get missed. The non-consistent nature of it, will in fact lead to mistakes.  The handhelds at Trees are also difficult to use without any color differentiation in the BAR COCKTAILS CATEGORY. If you could take the notes from the people doing the serving it would be super helpful for us. We are a little older and we are using tiny little machines that slow us down. If we could sit down and make some choices Gil to j...

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...

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 ...
