Okay so it's still too hot, I've been monitoring the temps since I started the thread, it's a constant 72 to 74 during the day and I'm working out a plan for fixing the temp right now
What yeast is being used? Are they using the same strain for all brews?

Based on some things you've written it sounds like maybe you don't brew or are new to brewing, which is totally cool, but please tell me these owners of this business brewed before (more than once)?
 
There's 12 different strains we use, the most common is 1056. I was new to it when I started here, still have lots to learn but I have learned a lot. The owner claims to have been a homebrewer but i don't think he was an avid brewer

And yes I don't brew very much I've brewed 3 batches in the last 2 years. So I consider myself pretty new to brewing although I know our ingredients very well

72-74 ambient means at least 75-77 in the ferment without temp control. Way too hot for 1056 or any other yeast except Saisons and a few other Belgians.
Add underpitching by a factor of 2.5+ too and you're almost guaranteed to make bad beer that gets dumped.
 
Yeah that's what I'm learning, it only really happens less that 10 times a year, that number should be 0 tho
