Manager Communication:
Both the first floor and Th1/2 were basically sold out, or close to it, throughout the first three rounds.  OG Godzilla was the only well-sold screening in Th4/6, so it was much more mellow on that side of the service pass.  Also, the staggered showtimes for Th1/2 made restocking and breaking a breeze.  Trees was pretty empty until a little after 4:00pm, but began to get some folks coming through. JH

Customer Comments: Got some customer Comments on the GF soda being different, it is the same, but better. Seems bubblier Gus.-LB

BAR Staff Observations: 
Greg + Sam did a great job opening, and Greg cruised through the first seatings while Sam sliced up all the citrus garnish you could ever want.  Tevon got in just as the first big theater sold out YCSE, and he and Greg sailed through service.  Greg got out of here after doing a small restock once Lydia clocked in, and Sam is going to stick around in lobby to help Darius through the sold out third round seatings. JH

Just wanted to shout out Sam for giving very kind and considerate customer service while in lobby, and Lydia who immediately crushed a sold out Th1 service push the moment after she clocked in. JH
Everyone is definitely in the zone even at the end of a trying and long New York holiday weekend.  Lots of hustle seen and love to see it on a Sunday night.-LB

FOH Staff Observations: 
Positive vibes throughout the building, really great attitudes and work across the building. JH
Everyone is really getting the hang of things and powering through the rough patches. I do feel like we still get a decent amount of walkie calls for help with closing tabs for a number of reasons. Customers are largely patient-LB
I didn't get to note the walk-in and liquor room cleaning I had Vlad do on Wednesday.  I had tried to have him come back through the liquor room today because it is sticky and there are things he missed on Wednesday however, he misunderstood me despite being asked multiple times to focus. He mopped the walk-in. Which is never a sad thing to get another mopping. I will get Markenson in there tomorrow.-LB

Special Events?

Staff Meeting Agenda notes: 
We have a Virgin Bloody Mary button, it is on the last page of NA Bevs on handhelds. JH

86ed / counts on items:

Prep List:
GF Soda keg is charged and ready to go.  Silly Rabbit has been clarified, which means we just need to batch Espresso Martini and Cuckoo Bananas before ST&B. JH

Both bars were on their last whispers of Bourne by the start of the third round, so I made a double batch and then distributed it between both bars (with another 3qts in the walk-in).  JH
The Grapefruit soda and its underlings popularity are stellar. We popped into the new keg around 6:15pm.-LB 
Simple syrup. Arbol tequila, How to train your dragon. 6 quart Oleo since the Grapefruit soda has fully arrived. Can be strained after 11pm tomorrow.  -LB

Over/Short on Banks:

Pay Outs:

Lost & Found?:

Ordering/Receiving/Shipping:
Homecoming dropped off some bags of coffee beans and cold brew kegs around 3:30pm. JH

Baldor delivery did not arrive.  It appears that the street closures prevented delivery.  There was no disruption to service. JH
Baldor arrived. I have more coming tomorrow.-LB

Maintenance: Lobby bar ice well looking fresh-LB
I grabbed some metal washers from Juan's closet and put them on the holder for the ice scoop on the Trees service well. The screws on this keep getting loose and the holder keeps coming off with the scoop. Hopefully this will be enough to make it hold. The right screw was rusted and may need to be replaced if it does not stay in place.-LB
 
Toast Issues:  When closing out Trees Lounge Jeshua's ticket for his food disappeared. James nor I comped it and it just was gone. So very strange. Wanted to flag it here as this is an abnormal occurrence that we might need to be aware of. He got dates with no honey and NH queso. The food arrived to Trees for him, so the kitchen got it. 
Lastly, I did the close out by going through the shift report first, then closing the cash drawer report. Then clocking out. I can't tell if the hand held took cash payments today or not, it did not prompt for a surrender of cash funds, like it usually does, but again I was doing this in a new order on purpose. James is going to report back on how it goes at the end, if it feels like this is easier for their overall cash reconciliation.-LB

Filmbot Issues:

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...
