Manager Communication: 
Busy Monday action as always. Opened up with Rebecca. Down a few servers. Getting it done though. Pacing in theaters is working out well. Runners that are here making it happen after a cohesive pre-shift from RB.-LB

We have the batches from Newfest to use for Trivia tomorrow. The only other product we have are two Culch vodka bottles that were in the well and two Henry Varnay Sparkling bottles I found on the ground at the end of the bar at Trees. I don't know if they are planning to pick up their beer. The portrait of a lady on fire has been run into spillage.-LB

I called Coke and was on hold for 35 minutes.  They told me that our open request that I entered last Tuesday was put on hold, then they put me on hold to find out why. I put in a new request identifying my irritation with this situation that we just want to be able to continue to sell their products seamlessly, so maybe sometime soon they will care to call us back.-LB

Customer Comments:
It would be great if we could get some more noticeable NO SMOKING signage out front to ward off the myriad guests who LOVE to stand directly in the doorway and smoke cigarettes/weed - the smell permeates the entirety of the lobby and service hallway to theaters 1 and 2 - either that or if we could have our security presence be a little more on top of it. Today it smelled like a teen was being punished by smoking an entire pack of cigarettes in the service stairwell. - ip

BAR Staff Observations: 
Service for the first round was really smooth. Kept it paced well for the amount of hands we had. -LB
Got Intel from Knibbs and his orthopedic doctor. He is out for two weeks. I asked him to send me his doctor's note and I forwarded it along. I will work on covering his affected shifts. Will have updates on that tomorrow. -LB

Greg and Lydia pulled long ones today when the Adult Swim crowd and Morricone Youth crowd both converged on Trees around 9 - great work all around. Tevon held down lobby and Patrick closed trees without issue. - IP

Special Events?
[adult swim] private event in theater 4 had a big crowd that hung out in trees long after their movie let out. Night of the Living dead followed suit. Nice and busy monday at Trees. - IP

Prep List: 
Autumn G&T, GF Soda, Jimmy the Gent, 2x Just One Drop, Bourne-LB

All kegs charged and ready to go. Will need to make more Firewalk tomorrow, but otherwise should be set. - IP

Check Walk-in?:
Walk in is good. - IP

R&D comp checks: 
Rang in spillage for Portrait of a lady on fire $35.62 and Spiderman $40.02-LB

Over/Short on Banks:
Trees bank was $1 under, probably just change related. - IP

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: 
Baldor, US foods, Union, To Rise. -LB
US foods tomorrow-LB

Toast Issues: 
FYI, Trees handheld signed out last night, you can just sign in as your log in, just needs to be signed in as someone. -LB

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 10.17.26

Manager Communication: Saturday mornings. Classic. Rebecca & I rocked it out -G It got really cold tonight in the mid-40s. I turned on the entry way heaters because Christine asked me to since Jeshua was cold. The exit doors were fine, did not smell, but the entryway doors were very rank so I turned them off. Probably a vacuum would be enough. But smelled like a hairdryer full of dead pine needles. I broke out the space heaters for lobby bar.-LB The spotify iPad at Trees is not connected to the internet now, if that could be addressed. Only downloaded playlists are working-LB Customer Comments: Had a bday party for a 1 year old. Matthew handled like a champ. There were a lot of them. Filled the place up early- was great. Order #5qgm7kk  This ticket says employee pass, that is because they booked under a BOGO Code and wanted to move seats. BAR Staff Observations: Greg & Matthew rocked. Natasha clocked in 10 mins late. Her explanation was that she got here, said hello to peo...

Manager Communication: Battening down the hatches for the Nathan Fielder Doc. Not ideal to be down a bartender, but if you're going to have three bodies at Trees, the ones you want are Tevon, Matthew and Natasha. Weather is also gross today, so we can expect the smaller theaters to grow. Gonna be a busy one. - IP Holy cow the drink rushes for back to back sold out 1/2 showings really just go on and on and on... The 1/2 rush for the dinner round lasted 90+ minutes - non-stop tickets the whole time. Bar team was INCREDIBLE. Ariel jumped right into service and helped knockout the last half hour or so of the rush - absolutely clutch. - IP We was nice and poppin' homies. The You Can See Everything doc has people drinking nonstop... which is fresh. We were busy but I was still able to cut Matthew and Tevon before 10:00 PM (Keepin' em under 9 hours) and I rocked out some of the late rush in Tree's. - AB2 I am a fan of the metal bars in Tree's for servers to write table nu...
