Manager Communication: A real pleasant increase in business tonight! Candyman did great stuff for us but we also sold Free Guy and even Green Knight very well. Shift was steady all the way through due to the short run time of Candyman and the 4 shows. Business decent to the bar before and after dinner and late shows and a small push to the patio.  Customer Comments: Had a few guests not vaccinated for the late round upset by the policy but understanding, they took refunds no problem.  BAR Staff Observations: Great to have Zoe back, she did a great job downstairs with Ian. Never needed more than 2 behind HiRes at one time, so Eliel batched and stocked bars when Tevon got here to close. Maintenance:  Alex and I did a walkthrough tonight for cleaning projects and we are going to discuss some deep cleans for the porters Tuesday (walk in, under the bar rails, liquor room floors)

Manager Communication: Business was pretty isolated to the times surrounding Candyman but good crowds to the bar before the dinner round show and solid drink rushes. It’s a quick movie, pretty one and done. BAR Staff Observations: Julien was late for his shift due to reading his schedule incorrectly. I spoke to him about checking his schedule more thoroughly and making sure to check it not just when it’s posted but when the times are Added. Will be sending him notifications for times. Hiring/Training: Interviewed Isi today. She is trailing Tuesday. Seems like a great potential hire. Special Events? Small bar push to lobby from the Th5 buyout Ordering/Receiving/Shipping : Union came today during the window when ZRS had us reported as to the SLA. Covered the invoice with a cash payment from the house bank, will do the payout tomorrow. 

Manager Communication: Slow night, but the music event brought out some drinkers.  Nothing in the rest of the building, with all conversation at the bar about Covid-19 Customer Comments: Good tippers appreciative that we were open for them. BAR Staff Observations: Definitely uncertainty, but good spirits considering. Special Events? Where Does A Body End.  About 80 showed up.  really nice crowd, good drinkers and tippers. Prep List: Ginger Syrup, maybe a few other things depending on what we think the weekend will look like.

Manager Communication: Tevon earlier filled a guests personal water bottle and the soda gun nozzle was right up against the rim of the mouthpiece of the water gun. I sanitized it afterwards just in case, but we may want to be careful going forward about filling guest's personal water bottles. BAR Staff Observations: Crew was in great spirits tonight despite the fact that it was pretty slow. Everyone did a great job and kept morale high. Staff Meeting Agenda notes: We should watch out for abbreviating cocktails in the store 'n pours to avoid confusion, particularly when we have cocktails with similar titles/appearances. A Pink Panther almost got poured tonight instead of a Big Pink because the label said "Pink Pan" Prep List: Keep an eye on Big Pink. We didn't batch it tonight because it was so slow, but may need it tomorrow for the night/weekend.

Manager Communication:  A very busy night tonight with Rebecca, the screening and the party afterwards! A very slow first round/general theatre sales overall but then the dinner round with two screenings and the party afterwards kicked off and we were slammed through the rest of the night. Hopped back for a good chunk of the party to support and called Ian up to run as a barback, essentially. He grabbed glassware and back ups for us and batched when we needed more Pink Panther; worth keeping in mind for staffing in the future. It was a drinking crowd in a huge way, but we definitely should plan on having someone in a support role for events like this. Customer Comments:  Just a lot of happy, good guests at both bars tonight. BAR Staff Observations:  Ian was a huge help tonight, running support for us during the event. Hex, Ryan and Jeremy were seamless as well working the party. Really impressed. FOH Staff Observations:  FOH staff was good during the party; k...

Manager Communication:  A very slow day. The bar party during the day was highly successful and great for the bar, but otherwise our showtimes were all very slow with low sales through the middle to late rounds. Kept staffing incredibly tight and did some maintenance and cleaning projects to fill the time. BAR Staff Observations:  All staff was great about being efficient in their sidework and then getting off of the clock when sales stalled. Special Events?  80th Birthday was great! Having the dedicated runner was a huge benefit to the way we ran it, having Adriana on walkie to call for food when needed and help bus and keep the area clean. Ordering/Receiving/Shipping: Big Geyser Tuesday
