Do we know what happened to Marco's final check?

I found something.

  • Brian: “@Daniel — do we have Marco's final check?”
  • There was no reply, and I couldn't find a follow-up task or manager note.

Looks like this is still unresolved.

Is there any wine info anywhere?

Yes. A few threads in Slack, mostly about cost, glassware, and how wine is supposed to run on the floor.

Performance / cost issue (#ops, Aug 27)
Wine came up as a high-cost category. The GM said they needed a call on it.

Wine glass saga (#purchasing, Dec 2025–May 2026)
The distributor couldn’t fulfill the 12.5oz glasses. Purchasing asked about alternatives.

Wine glass protocol success (#foh, July 13)
The closer said the new process was working.
