July Wk4 (7.23-7.29)

Mgr Mtg Agenda : Operations : Getting busier finally! Saturday was pretty slow, however, but cuts were made aggressively to keep labor in line. Up $2k from the previous week!  Lunch rushes are from 12:30/1 until about 2pm Making double batches of syrups- coconut syrup is selling like crazy still.  Started selling Mylk labs, sold about 4-5, feedback: like the oats, but lack berry options.  Started selling Shishitos- getting them from a little farm out of Dale TX- it's Shea's parent's farm! Al will reach out about finding out what else they sell and get a pricing list. maybe get a few more items with them Followed up with JFC about the chicken- reached out to James about it and he reached out to the manufacturer Followed up on the Japanese chocolates- but they are still out Al will look for some prewrapped chocolates at local markets but so far no luck.  Kaya will bring back some Japanese newspapers from Japan so we can start doing the trays again....

July Wk 3 (7.16-7.22)

Mgr Mtg Agenda : Operations : Matt and the film team will be in from 10pm-11pm to check out the "set" Started working on a cantaloupe, honeydew and summers kiss in it- haven't tried it yet, but it looks good and "juicey". Al and Joe will also experiment with Hibiscus  86 Red bean Business is starting to pick up a little, but our slow time is really slow. Evening time has a few more pops than normal and an increase in large groups Coke deliveries are still spotty. Al will continue to follow up with Abigail (local rep) Canceled the Bagel delivery for tomorrow because we aren't selling them fast enough.

July Wk2 (7.9-7.15)

Mgr Mtg Agenda : Operations : slow week-  coke came on Friday and Al met with Abigail and let her know about the issues we were having with placing orders and the delivery drivers Placed coke order on Friday- haven't received it yet still. Credit card dispute- Al forwarded the info to Tina and she sent to Chase regarding the chargeback. The woman ordered two different times for different items that ended up coming out at the same price. So it wasn't fraudulent.  Fly traps are working but we NEED to get the linen bags out of the BOH.  Video shoot has been moved to 3 weekends in August (due to Open Canopy) Sarah and Al are going to meet with a rep from Rosen's next Wednesday- Henry from Rosen's reached out to see how he can make wholesale better.  Al went to Free Bean Coffee and tried their product.
