Manager Communication:  Slow night with the dinner round Venom and Titane putting up decent numbers.  Titane had a good cocktail crowd. Tammy Faye's dinner round was okay.  Michelada's are moving pretty well.   Customer Comments: Moved a couple of seats around, and helped a few people find their tickets and show them the .con mistake.  Some of our patio regulars came back and marveled as I walked them through our new menu. BAR Staff Observations:  Julian's last day.  Cut Chelsea after the venom rush. Got Ian to batch in the meantime.  FOH Staff Observations:  Kaya had some trouble sending a ticket from the theater 1 Ipad for a theater 2 order which was held.  I asked her to send the order again. Gil addressed the printer issues.  Darius was overwhelmed during the 8:30 Dear Evan Hansen. Armando, Jeremy & I lent a hand. Special Events: The folks for the theater 5 bachelor party arrived early. We began their tab at Trees Loung...

Manager Communication: Slow night in the theaters tonight but we had some patio business and few people in the upstairs bar before the white mare event. We did get a few orders from the old cocktail menu from regulars out on the patio. I made a couple Aperol Spritz's no problem, but we aren't able to make the Singapore Sling anymore. I pointed out the new menu options though and they were very happy, I just don't think they looked.  BAR Staff Observations: Eliel took the day off. He will be working tomorrow with Jesse instead to finish his floor training. I will make some time next Wednesday for him to make up for the one on one time we lost today.  Ryan Wuestwald trained with Ian in the lobby. He did great, it is nice to have him back.  FOH Staff Observations: Nathaniel was doing a great job on his training shift downstairs, and was asking me a lot of great beverage questions while I was behind the bar. He seems like a really good hire.  Special Events? It was ni...

Manager Communication: Slow day overall, early and dinner rounds had decent sales mostly concentrated to Shang Chi. Evan Hansen seemed like a dud ticket wise all weekend. Bar crowds also pretty light, not a ton of drinking before and after. Patio business steady due to good weather.  Customer Comments:  Eliel told a customer not to smoke a cigarette directly on the patio. He said he shouldn't have to get up because he's already outside and Eliel explained it's the law so he stood up and moved. BAR Staff Observations:  Dylan's return is a success, very fast catch up to new policies and old ways. Bartenders that missed the meeting (Zoe and Isi) were working today and were walked through the new cocktails and practices and also avoiding tap to pay. Easy day. Spoke to Dylan about some unnecessary condiment ringing/messy MobileBytes ringing. FOH Staff Observations:  Someone rang three Madonna IPAs on a check that wasn't theirs in Th1. They had to be spilled. Not sure who...

Manager Communication: Steady opening and dinner rounds, slow final round. Very typical Sunday flow. Shang Chi was close to sold out, Green Knight also sold out due to the fact that we are apparently the only theater showing it. Other than that, pretty slow and steady. Got lots of cleaning done and then made cuts around 7:00 pm before the last round, easily handled by one at each bar. Customer Comments:  Eliel found a guests phone in the theater, they were very appreciative. BAR Staff Observations:  Everyone balanced the work very well today, strong closes last night and good opens.  Staff Meeting Agenda notes:  Never pull the power cord attached to the iPads to charge phones 86ed / counts on items:  Stillwater, Paloma, Sloop Pilsner Prep List:  Batching is solid on what is remaining on the menu, may need Ginger Lime towards the end of shift or before Tuesday Pay Outs:  $105 to Chef John for Jetro Lost & Found: Had a guest lose a pair of roller ska...
