MAY6 update

Bob,

Last week: 5684 attendance, 6.81 average concession

Week one down. First of many, I hope. :)

We finished the week at 30 associates, plus 4 for the week. Jodi was a little unsure of herself the first couple days but returned from her WED/THU off with determination and confidence. Both Dee and myself have been building her up daily. She is a wonderful person to have be the first face someone meets in our building. She knows her job is to bring in friendly people that show up. I told the team that once we hit our numbers, we can begin the process of replacing the weakest every week. You could sense the excitement, as they have "problem children" who they have had to tolerate.

We went ahead and bumped Kevin up then. $17 to start. Jay and Steve both say several people have taken notice and have asked if supervisor and other promotions are in the cards. They said they told them to leave me a note. Jay said it's quite apparent everyone is on their best behavior and he has not noticed a single person being late or "disappearing" the entire week. I pointed out no one had missed a shift all week. Dee told me she was asked, "If we had apps sitting there, why was no one hired until now?" She said she told them there was a new sheriff in town and things were changing for the better. :)

Also, associates have been overheard wondering why we never used all the registers when Chuck was here. I opened the satellites last night and today. That's 10!!! The world didn't end or anything!!

Dee has told me she appreciates the positive reinforcement in front of everyone else. She admits that she has felt all alone because she was the "new girl" and Chuck did not give her any leash, just treated her like a supervisor, basically. I told her we'd make a couple more schedules together and then I'd get out of her way. She seems plenty capable, and works hard. Heck, all the managers do, Kevin included. They are not strong at mentoring or following up because they're used to doing all the grunt work themselves. Jay has said a couple times, "See, this is what managing is. It's delegating and being proactive."

All right, headed out soon. Let me know if you need anything else. See ya next week.

May 13 update

Bob,

Added 1 this week, at 31 (+3; -2). Promoted existing staff to cooks and supervisors. Management beginning to, wait for it, manage.

5350 attendance, $6.80 average concession sale.

Attitude and optimism continues along at a high level. Verified by management team.

May 20 update

Bob,

3569 attendance, 6.63 average concession sale, 35 staff, plus 4 over last week.

Looking forward to getting up to 38 so we can do some pruning of the weaker trees. Jodi continues to be aggressive and friendly. During the last week, we got a lot of training in as it was slower.

May 27th update

Bob,

I just talked to you, so consider this a review. :)

Up to 39, so we are staffed and will be scheduling based on ability and availability. We talked about this during our brief meeting yesterday and "forced rank" all the non management folks. All of us had 3 of our people in the bottom 10, so they will immediately be getting fewer hours and monitored closely. No room for weakness here.

4359 attendance last week, 8.22 concessions average, 39 staff.

Nice to see Mermaid doing well. I had my doubts. Lots of large groups, 3 or 4 adults, 4-8 kids. Hopefully, it has legs like Mario.

Enjoy your weekend. I am going to be here SUN/MON and an off TUE/WED.

be ultra aggressive on hiring

14-15 year olds on weekends, 4-5.5 hour shifts

pay extra for cooks, TUE/FRI/SAT/SUN especially

June 2nd

Bob,

I am gone from SAT-THU then, using 4 VAC. I entered it in, 1 for this week, 3 for next.

5576 attendance, 39 staff, 6.56 average concessions, 62955 bo, 35580 concessions.

We lost one and Jodi hired one, one of the mentally disabled youngsters who will work with a coach. 4 days a week, WED-SAT, 1045-245/3 each day. We do not think he has the capability to work with money at all, so he will just be doing maintenance. He is extremely excited and is very friendly, so we expect him to be able to say hi and smile at our guests. The one thing we were a bit concerned about is that we will close the ladies room when he's cleaning in there, but we do have that family restroom right there too. His coach said that she was surprised fast food places were so unwilling to give him a chance, but the ones that did had to have 7 days a week availability and she has to turn in her schedule a month in advance. And yes, she will supervise and clean as well, so we think we'll get 6-7 hours work from them even if he's a little slower paced. He starts next week, but we took a pic of him in his AMC shirt today and sent it to the coach so they can put it on social media.

I was disappointed we didn't break our attendance mark since I've been here, but just missed it. Jay pointed out our free admissions were way down, end of school year and few have kids. Maybe this week. I challenged the team and Dee especially to make sure concessions don't fall. Had all 6 stands open last night and today after 2. Getting to be 2nd nature. I still recall that first FRI/SAT I was here, kids that had been here since last NOV had never seen the satellites open. :)

Enjoy your weekend and week Bob. Back a week from today.

June 10th

Bob,

39 staff, 6488 attendance, 6.50 average concession.

Uneventful week, but I was only here FRI/SAT. No staff movement. Best attendance week we have had since my arrival. Concessions also the most since my arrival. Good to see the average stayed up there despite being busy. Talk to ya later, sir.

Melissa, grad ceremony

Melissa, SAT/SUN (fireworks and stars)

working SUN/MON of Memorial Day weekend, off WED/THU

off SATJUN3 for grad speech travel (Mel off SAT-TUE){VAC1}

off JUN6-8 {VAC2-4}

June 17th

Bob,

5358 attendance, 40 staff, 7.05 average concessions.

Not much to discuss as we just talked THU. All 4 members of the management team are caught up on paperwork and ready if the opportunity arises. I talked to all in a one on one and told them I want to recommend them and what they need to do and continue to do for me to be able to do so. Kitchen open until midnight FRI/SAT, 11pm SUN-THU. Bar is packed at 8pm as I get ready to head out. Continue to concentrate on customer service and making it easy to buy food and snacks. Enjoy your weekend.

June 24th

Bob,
6039 attendance, 38 staff, $9.65 average concessions.

Good week overall, kids really sparking the concessions it would seem. Had a couple $100 sales with larger families, I had never seen that before.

We scheduled light this week because we think we'll be down 20% or so. Also lost a couple crew members, but Jodi will fill if needed. With students being out of school and added availability, I told her not to add just to add and discuss with me. MI7 and IJ both looking to be huge. Jay and Steve both said we always have huge numbers with blockbuster action films, Jay says he always sees his friends during those and he hardly ever sees people he knows, as they are not regular moviegoers.

I continue to talk with corporate about auditorium choices, especially for hits with multiple screens versus others with limited screens. The Flash had over 750 seats available THU night, both openers had less than 100. Not finding a lot of concern or anyone willing to explain how these are decided.

Enjoy your weekend, sir.

Happy Thanksgiving to those that believe. For me, it's a workday. The theater was at 95% capacity yesterday, first show started at 930am, last show ended at 1245am. Today...looks to be busier. We are fully staffed, though we do have several regulars that have THU off weekly that are not working today. We have donuts (thanks Dunkin), a variety of apps in the break room, and lunch/dinner being delivered from Del Taco and Pardon My Cheesesteak for everyone making the holiday better for our guests!!

--I am a bit limited by company policy at sharing financials. I will leave it at that. I am the GM at the AMC 24 screen theater that has one entrance inside of Disney. We are always one of AMC's top 20 locations, but because of the tourists visiting for the holiday, we are top 5 this weekend.

--More restaurants are open here because of the huge tourism market. I had at least 20 places to choose from on Door Dash when I ordered food for lunch.

--We have about 70-75 (not sure of the exact number, gained and lost a couple college students in the last week that are on the 3 semester set up) associates, and 55 are working today. Mostly in 3 shifts, 9-230/4, 12-7, and 6-close. I got here at 830 and will go home somewhere between 8 and 10. It's a challenging weekend because every day will be like this thru SAT, and SUN will be 75-90% of this. Won't slow down until MON.

customer service, cleanliness, customer service--no excuses mentality

lead by example--15 minutes early, positive attitude everyday, work to your position, fake it 'til you make it (calm on the outside, aggressive on the inside), consistent (same decision, every time)

rank your people monthly, schedule to peaks, do not schedule to preferences

no dog and pony shows, unannounced tours, almost always when GM is scheduled to be there (usually GM and another keyholder, update schedule daily, as needed)

Letter to district, scheduled 0901FRIJAN31--Hi everyone. A brief introduction, I'm Bryan Price, and I'm your new district manager. I start today, but I had a prescheduled vacation from JAN31-FEB6, so my first actual day of work as DM will be FRIFEB7.

My contact info is at the end of this, but my responses may be delayed. If you need an immediate response, continue to use Velma, as you have since TUE. She will keep me up to date.

Two quick notes...we have a district meeting WEDFEB12 at the AMC corporate offices, so save the date. GM's are required to attend. We will have a dinner the night before as well, though that is not mandatory. I do not plan on having more than one in person district meeting a year, so please do all you can to attend. If unable to, please send someone in your place and let me know why when I return to work FEB7. Hotel, dinner, and meeting info will be sent FEB7.

We will go over my expectations at the meeting and during my theater visits. In the meantime, simply do what you have been doing...schedule to plan, or as close to it as you can. 1.012 is our current labor for 2025. Do the best you can every day and I look forward to meeting you in a couple weeks.

I am very excited. I expect success for each and every one of our theaters and the district as a whole in 2025 and beyond. Thank you for your time and make today the best you possibly can!!

DM Iowa/Illinois AMC Theaters

letter to district, WED2/5 11am--Hi everyone. I hope your week is going well. My girlfriend, Missy, and myself have been celebrating the holidays by visiting our families in WI and OH, but we are home and going to relax the last couple days of vacation. I will likely touch base with you FRI the 7th, one on one, in a quick 10 minute phone call. I am at the corporate office MON and TUE touring with Bob, but am looking forward to meeting everyone WED the 12th at the meeting (and, I assume most of you TUE night at dinner!) as I think it will be a great way to make expectations and standards clear.

This weekend should be the calm before the storm, as next weekend is both Valentine's Day and the Captain America (and on a lesser note, Paddington) openings. Remember, SUN after 5pm will be like a MON, as the Super Bowl starts about 5:30pm. Slight shift upward SUN before 5, but very little. Good opportunity to save hours, as well as rewarding football fans with the night off (more than likely, more than a few Chiefs' fans in our market).

We will go into more detail at the meeting, but I expect all nine theaters at or below 1.005 labor each week. That gives everyone a bit of wiggle room, in case your projections are a bit off, which will happen from time to time. If you have a special circumstance, such as training in new crew members, that would be something to email me about in advance, and we will talk about it on FRI.

No one knows your theaters better than you, so I will not be overriding your forecasts or ordering you to cut hours. We will go over your results, in 2024 and so far in 2025, and how we plan to increase concession sales while hitting 1.005 labor. We will massage and caress our schedules to achieve max bonuses. My job is to set you and your theaters up for success. I know you as GM's depend on your bonus for the financial security of yourself and your families. My top priority is to have 9 of 9 theaters achieve a bonus for 2025...hopefully, all 9 will max out.

Thank you for your continued efforts. Expect great things, and plan for success every day!!

Bryan Price
DM Iowa/Illinois AMC Theaters

Good morning and Happy SAT. Disappointing last week numbers wise. Scheduled to projections nicely, but projections were far too high. 17.2k attended, 20k expected. While we can sit back and blame others, that does not accomplish our goals. Corporate estimates are a good starting guideline...but use the knowledge of your market and adjust as needed. I know we discussed this on our 10 minute calls. It's your theater, and you're responsible for the numbers. Plan for success!!
