Well, we certainly went out with a bang this year.
Weather:Cold. 40's
Any Special events going on?:NYE
Who worked?:Jason, Stephanie, Kate, Eileen, Esther CL. Alex FR, Lindsey host/CT, Perfaijer SA
For next year, let's make sure we staff like a Saturday night. Could have used 2 hosts or a host and a cocktail. I had Lindsey cocktail for most of the night while Kayo and I hosted. Also, got some feedback from J.Umlas regarding Alex as a food runner. The main things were: her lack of attention to detail when running certain items, resulting in things getting double made, and she was constantly taking her phone out and checking on it. I have told her a few times at the host stand that she needs to put the phone away. Please make this part of her eval, Leary.
Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Started off slow then we were on a wait by 5:50 and at the highest point of the night we were quoting 1:30. Only had 2 large tops walk in, the rest were mostly 2 tops. Everyone seemed pretty understanding of the wait time. By 9:15 we were off the wait and I cut down to Esther and Eileen. I cut Lindsey from the host stand and kept support on until 10pm. The place cleared out by 10:35. I wasn't aware of any ticket time issues, however I was mainly planted at the host stand for the majority of the night. Things seemed fine though, just super super busy.

If there were I didn't have a chance to notice them, except for when I was checking them in.

Had a couple of long tickets come out of the Kitchen, but no comp necessary. Lots of teamwork today, which was good to see and always makes busy shifts run smoother. Not much else to report.

Lunch: Jason, Kate, Lindsey, Stephanie CL. Hiroe FR, Jason SA, Alex Host
Dinner: Jason, Kate, Esther, Dusten, Taylor CL. Same support staff. Nagisa was supposed to host but her husband called her out and said she was going to go to the DR. I said she needs to get a Dr's note before coming back to work. he said okay.
I also talked to Jason about the sweeping issue. He was a little upset because he feels that he helps out in other capacities and from time to time either can't sweep due to people in his section, or perhaps its an oversight on his side. But he was a little annoyed that no one said anything to him about it and rather said something to me. I told him that the fault lies in both the closer and him. The closers also need to actually be checking people out, they are held accountable, etc. However, I think it put him in a sour mood for the rest of the night. He said he would try to make sure he didn't let it get to him, but I think it did. I also talked with him after the shift and he said he's trying not to let it get to him but if people are going to call him out to the manager for something so small as sweeping, then he is going to hold not only himself but everyone else at that higher standard. I understand where he is coming from and it's something I definitely want to address at length at the meeting; how the closers are ultimately the ones responsible after all is said and done, and if they are letting people slide, then they are to take the blame
Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch: was slow to start and busy throughout after it took off. We were on a wait and were up a wait up until about 1:45. From the sounds of it ticket times were okay. No one was cut until after 2
Dinner: Started off the same as lunch, a little slow. But then once 6:30 hit, we got slammed and were on a wait until 9:45. Everyone was busting their ass, and working hard. But man did we get our asses kicked tonight. I assisted Alex at the host stand. We had two 9 tops, one 6 top and one 7 top walk in between 8:45/9:30. It was hectic, to say the least. But we got them all sat by 9:45 and the last table was the 9 top. If this is any reflection of what tomorrow night is going to be, we had better be prepared!

Stephanie told me that Jason didn't sweep or pull his condiments. This is the 4th complaint I've received about Jason not sweeping his section. Now, this can be handled one of two ways. We can either document Jason leaving without finishing his sidework (which I think needs to be done- I wrote a doc already) And/Or, it can serve as a lesson to the closer to make certain they are checking each other out. I know they want to trust each other but they need to trust each other while also covering their own behinds. Anyone have any input on this?

Lunch: Busy start and stayed busy until around 2. Had lots of large parties from the get go- two 6-tops, one 11 top walk in, and the reso as well. On and off a small wait until 1:30. Made cuts at 2:15 and went down to 2 servers. Kept support on until 2:45/3.
Dinner: Steady start and just an overall long night. The night seemed to drag on- we went on a wait around 6:30 and stayed on a wait until a little past 9. Had 3 parties go over their quote time because there were several tables that paid out but didn't leave. One stuck around for an extra hour! None of the under-quotes parties were upset though, so that was good. Had quite a few 5 tops, and had a walk in 10 top that we were able to seat in the party room since our 7:45 reso cancelled an hour before. It started to die down around 9, and I cut down to 2 on by 9:45. Cut the Host then, and cut all support at 10:15. By 10:45 it was a ghost town.

Who worked?:
Jason, Esther, Dusten, Eileen, Taylor CL. Jason SA, Nagisa Host, Lindsey host/CT, Kaori FR
Nagisa wasn't feeling well tonight, so I sent her home relatively early. However, besides the fact that she wasn't feeling well, I would like to see her working lower volume shifts. She continuously has trouble with multi-tasking during the rush, and allows empty tables to sit unoccupied. Also, I would like to see someone a little more vocal at the host stand on the busy nights as far as communicating to guests the wait time, and that they can wait in the lobby or patio, and who the cocktail server is. Also I noticed that her menu knowledge is rather lacking (guest asked what Camembert was and she didn't know) This is the 2nd weekend in a row that I have seen her get very flustered and unable to handle the host stand on her own. Maybe the new hire will be able to slide in.
Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Slow start and as predicted, we went on a wait at 7:15. If anything that has been the one reliable thing lately. We were on a wait until about 8:30, and then we were on and off a wait until 9. Nagisa under-quoted a 3 top (25 min) and they ended up waiting 45 minutes. I explained to them the first time what had happened, but then a member of their party approached me a little while later and I tried to explain why 2 tops were getting sat in front of them and why a party of 7 was sat (Reso), she was noticeably upset and stood next to the host stand until a table opened up for them. I sent them edamame and gyoza and they seemed happy about that.
The only long ticket times I experienced were from the sushi bar around 9pm- The only comp I made for that was A6's pieces that took 40 minutes and they had cancelled because they were getting ready to leave, but then they came out. So I took care of them and they were very happy.
Cut Nagisa at 9pm, Lindsey at 9:30, Kaori at 9:45, Jason SA at 10:50. Server cuts: 1 at 9:30, everyone else at 9:45. Taylor got about 5 more tables after that and handled them fine in addition to his half full sushi bar.

The sushi bar got hammered pretty hard in the middle of the shift with a lot of large party orders, but plates staggered out so people always had something on the table.

Made 1st cut by 8:30, and also cut Nagisa, since she said she was starting to feel very hot. Cut down to 2 at 9pm and 1 at 9:15. No long tickets and overall a steady and smooth night.

- Wrote a closing checklist that resides on the clipboard under the beverage order. However right now it's covered by a W9 that Rodrigo needs to fill out. I sent him a text to come by after the holidays. I don't know his full name, or address or anything about him really, so he needs to fill out the top part, and sign.
MERRY CHRISTMAS to all, and to all a goodnight!

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch (though I wasn't on the floor) sounded busy and it seemed like we were on a wait until 2pm, and got the last few tables sat shortly after 2. It was a late pop, maybe around noon.
Dinner: late pop. Didn't get busy until 7:30, and went on a wait around 8 but it wasn't anything crazy, 10 minutes here and there. Made 1st cut by 8:30, and also cut Nagisa, since she said she was starting to feel very hot. Cut down to 2 at 9pm and 1 at 9:15. No long tickets and overall a steady and smooth night. Cut Perfajer and Hiroe at 9:30. No more tables came in after 9:30.

It started off real slow. By 715 we still had a lot of empty tables. I went 4 on because normally we get hit earlier, and I thought maybe a lot of folks might be out of town. We did fill up and went on a wait around 8. It went smoothly, and we off by 845. Pretty mellow night for the back of the house. Sushi line got hit pretty hard by the pop, but rolls stayed under 25 minutes. Went 2 on by 910. Cut the Host at 930, and the SA at 950.

Lunch: Esther, Stephanie, Camacho, Christina CL. Perfaijer SA, Kaori SA, Nagisa host
Nagisa seems to be missing things again. Had some trouble with her on Friday night seating a few parties in front of another, and then this morning she missed seeing the reservation we had for 12:15 (luckily she asked me before she sat the party room) and then after they sat she failed to let Christina know it was sat. After she was cut she got 2 boxes of napkins but just put them on the office floor without putting them up, and she also left the large tub of soap sitting in the basket at the host stand (instead of under the iced tea machine where we're keeping those things now). So keep an eye on her and also please put this in her eval.
Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Started with a few tables, as usual. Nothing crazy. We did go on a little bit of a wait around 1pm that lasted a little bit due to the fact that most tables sat down all at the same time. But after they got up, we sat everyone seemlessly. Cuts were fast. Cut Jason at 1:30, and Esther at 1:45, then went to just Christina at 2:30. Cut Nagisa at 1:45, Cut SA and FR at 2:30. Super mellow after 2. People are shopping...exactly what I need to do!! Anyhow, by 3 we had 1 table finishing up. Sloooooow.

lunch: Johnny, Stephanie, Sophia, Kate. Lindsey host, Jason SA, Kaori FR
dinner: Stephanie, Naoto, Miho, Esther, Dusten CL. Perfaijer host, lindsey host/ct, kaori fr, jason sa.
I helped host during the rush, and Lindsey helped too, but Perfaijer is not quite ready to work a host shift by himself. He had trouble staying organized during the rush and communicating effectively with the guests (he's very soft spoken and speaks very sloooow, so in this fast paced environment, it can be a little challenging)
Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch started off strong then died after the first round. Cut down to 2 at 2pm, cut host and SA at 2:30. Slowed significantly after 2:30. People are out getting that last minute holiday shopping done.
Dinner was similar to last night, where it picked up but never quite enough. Our longest wait was a 5 top that waited 40 minutes. Ticket times were good, nothing really of note. The entire night seemed to just drag on slowly, but all without incident. Cut Stephanie at 9:30, along with Perfaijer. Cut down to Miho and Dusten at 9:50, and cut Lindsey then too. Cut Jason at 10:30.

Lunch: Sean from Parkside was in with his daughter and sat at sushi bar.
Dinner: Several regulars, Neil, Chris and the girl that looks like Anna Faris (I can never remember her name!!)
Comps of note:
created a new comp catagory for when Kayo and Take come in to eat. it's called Owner comp and it's where the old 20% comp was (since we still have open % comp). That way when we look at manager meal comps or whatever, we don't see an unusual spike anymore. However, today I had to comp it partially in open % and then the rest in mgr meal. Long story. So just, there's that.
R&M needs?:
We are 86 Coke. I can't believe we blew threw all of those cases already! Still okay with topo chico.
At the next HEB run can someone please pick up more of the Shaggy Dog bloody mary mix? It can be found in the mixers section near the alcohol. Not sure which HEB we go to, but the one at Mueller has it. Please pick up 6 bottles.
We also 86'd paper towels and whipped cream ( for the HEB run)

Nagisa said her husband has a job interview in Houston the beginning of January, and if he gets the job they will be moving. She said it's all up in the air, but there is that possibility. So we can be prepared.
Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
It was a slow and steady evening. We picked up a little around 6:45, but all night we were in and out of a 20 minute wait. At one point I quoted 30-45, but we never even got that high. The air was a little solemn to start the dinner service off tonight, but it seemed like everyone popped back after about an hour or so. It was good to see everyone back in high spirits. Had a few long tickets at the sushi bar towards the later part of the night. Take got slammed with nigiri and sashimi tickets for a while, they were piling up, but even the longest ticket was 25 minutes. So still not too bad. No long ticket time comps, or DNL's tonight. Not a whole lot of comps I can recall outside of employee meals. Cut down to 2 at 9:45, and 1 at 10:30. It was steady right up until about 10:15, then we didn't have any tables come in after 10:25-ish. Cut the host at 10, the SA at 10:45, and the FR at 10:30, and all of the tables were out by 11pm. Astonishingly.

Lunch:
We were 1 server short today because of Alex going home. I was a little worried about it, but it went pretty smoothly. Everyone was really busy, but I SA-ed with Per Faijer, and it went well. Kitchen times were really good today which helped. Also flow of business was slow to start, which paced out the tables nicely. We got busy between 1-2, and several tables on a wait. Junko rocked the host stand as usual. Also Johnny was strong as the closer. He needed help, but he was really good at staying organized and asking for the right help. His performance has really seemed to improve since I've started.
Dinner:
Slow start. I think the nice weather was making everyone want to be outdoors. We did eventually fill up around 715. Went on and off a wait until about 830. Fry station got hit hard at one point, but the kitchen handled it well and tickets stayed under 25 minutes. Sushi bar tickets were good. Went 3 on at 9, and 2 on 915.

The kitchen handled the pop really well. Having the extra hand really seems to make things smoother. Ticket times were good. Had a lunch regular ask about us changing the Tonkotsu Ramen. She said she preferred the old pork belly. I told her I would pass on the feedback. 3 on at 1230, everyone else worked until 2.

Alex got some bad news tonight- her brother called to tell her that her dad has been moved to ICU and is in critical condition. Tomorrow they are going to take the air tube out and see how he does. It is very possible that he will pass away. So just FYI. We're already working on getting her FR shift tomorrow morning covered, but we may have to get the rest of her shifts covered as well.
Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Started slow and picked up at it's usual time: 7:15. We went on a wait and were on a 30 minute wait until about 9pm. The last hour slowed down a little and I first cut Kate, then around 9:15 I cut the rest of the staff and went 2 on (Taylor and Miho) Ran an alcohol sales contest and Miho won with $280 in sales (the minimum to win is to beat last Tuesdays Alc sales, which were $250). These last few weeks have been phenomenal as far as beating LY sales (maybe not so much lunch lately) but dinners have been picking up, which is great!
John forgot to sign his credit card reciept and forgot his card. Also a Jacob forgot his card. Now all we need is a Jingleheimerschmitt....anyone...anyone?

Similar to last night. Maybe even slower of a start than last night. It felt like it was going to be dead, and then we got hit all at once, and went on a 45min-1hr wait around 715. Came off the wait around 9, but steady until the end. Ticket times in the kitchen were really good. The rolls got a little backed up and started hitting 30 minutes, but only had 1 comp come of it. Went 4 on at 9, and 1 on at 930.
Had several tables coming in thinking they had a reservation through open table. It was for the Kome in Pennsylvania. Most the parties were fine waiting, but table was weird with me (not sure how they could be mad at us). They were fine once they were sat. The Kome in PA must hate that they're holding tables for people in Austin. We should all take a field trip to their place and see how they measure up.

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Similar to last night. Maybe even slower of a start than last night. It felt like it was going to be dead, and then we got hit all at once, and went on a 45min-1hr wait around 715. Came off the wait around 9, but steady until the end. Ticket times in the kitchen were really good. The rolls got a little backed up and started hitting 30 minutes, but only had 1 comp come of it. Went 4 on at 9, and 1 on at 930.
Had several tables coming in thinking they had a reservation through open table. It was for the Kome in Pennsylvania. Most the parties were fine waiting, but table was weird with me (not sure how they could be mad at us). They were fine once they were sat. The Kome in PA must hate that they're holding tables for people in Austin. We should all take a field trip to their place and see how they measure up.

Mellow start but we filled up and were on a wait by 7. We were off the wait around 845. It hit all at once, and we had a 12-top sat at 7, so the sushi line and kitchen got a little behind. I had some 30 minute ticket times on rolls and kitchen items, but only had 1 $10 comp because of it. Other tables had food, and were fine with the wait. Went 2 on at 850, and we got a little late pop, but nothing too crazy. It just kept the closers busy. Cut Host, and SA at 945.

Started steady as usual and stayed that way all day. Went on a wait around 1:15 and off a wait at 2:30. Cut down to just Stephanie at 2:45- she got a 7 top and a few other tables after that. There were a lot of large parties in again today. Lots of 5+ parties. Must be the holiday season.

some regulars that I couldn't talk to (throat still majorly hurting)
Comps of note:
Had to comp 1 Salmon teishoku to guest DNL because it went out burnt. We cooked her another and she was happy. Had a few buzztable gyoza too.
R&M needs?:
I emailed Brian about the Asahi machine cleaning- there is no way to connect the coupler to where it says in the video. There are no grooves there. So I'm still waiting to hear. Also, I asked him if we have BEK just come out and clean the line, if we really need to nightly, since we sell so much beer.
Also, I want to add to the daily duties one night each week we need to soak the coffee and tea mugs (white only) in a container with some bleach. We did this at another restaurant I worked at to avoid the staining of the cups . I think we need to start doing that here once a week.
Also, it seemed like the Sake Sriracha Bloody Marys and Momo's did well. Jason Camacho came up with adding some togarashi and soy sauce to the mix in addition to the Kimchi juice (which came as a suggestion yesterday by Christina back in the kitchen!) I think we have a successful Sake Sriracha Bloody Mary! Sales for those two drinks weren't anything crazy but I'm hoping it will catch on soon, and it will become more of a draw for people.
On a non-work related note: I ordered some christmas presents for Aaron for Christmas and I'm having them shipped here. He's such a hum-bug, if I get them shipped home he'll know immediately. Also, non-work related, I'm feeling better. Thank you Kayo and thanks to Camacho for covering my shift last night. I didn't think I was going to make it today, but after numerous pots of hot water with lemon and a big bowl of ramen broth, I think I should be good as new by my birthday! So thank you

Kitchen: I was able to observe kitchen tonight. Steve really needs to have tempura lesson from Take.
Over all everything looks good but not tempura and it is the hardest thing to make in our menu.
I think it may not be just Steve,so once in a while the kitchen should have the class for certain item to just keep their skills up.
Also, we have changed the plate we use for tempura tonight, the one we use for Moriawase (black sushi tray) gets too slippery, so we are going to use round bamboo plate for Moriawase from now on.

Who worked?:
Dinner: Eileen, Ali, Miho, Jason (train Lindsey), Taylor CL. Alex/Nagisa Host, Clair CT, Kaori FR, Perfaijer SA
Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Started slow, went on a wait bu 7:15 and off a wait by 9. Then we were on and off a small 15 minute wait from 9-10pm. I cut Nagisa and went with one host and one cocktail around 8. I think, going forward we can run with 1 host and 1 CT while it's cold out. Also, I would like to start paying the CT $5.75 during the winter months when it's cold out and they basically host half the time.
Server cuts: I cut Miho and Ali at 9:30. Ali wasn't feeling well.Went to 2 on at 10pm and also cut Alex as host.
Perfaijer, despite his lateness issues recently, did a great job tonight. As soon as the table was up, he was at it, bussing, wiping and setting it! It was magical. We flipped tables so fast.
Phylis, next door, called and told me that someone was blocking her driveway. Not all the way, but partially. It was a silver toyota yaris. So I asked the lobby first, no one. Then the first sushi bar people I asked, it turned out to be S3's. She got upset when I asked if she could please move her car because it was blocking a driveway. She complained that she wasn't blocking anyone's driveway and that she was already harangued by someone else about parking. I apologized and told her that we just like to be good neighbors and we appreciate her moving her car. They left with smiles on their face, so I'm thinking the food erased their memories.
Any VIP's in?
Had a server from Arro in, he said his boss Greg Baldwin recommended us. I sent him out a spicy scallop to "pay it forward"
Comps of note:
Training food for Lindsey and Jason. Other than that, I can't think of any other biggies.
R&M needs?:
Please do NOT order any more Topo Chico, Coke or Izze. We have enough in stock to last us the next 3 weeks at least. Also, Topo Chico comes from Keg 1, not Sysco, which shouldn't be a problem anymore, considering we're not going to order from Sysco. If Rest.Depot has it cheaper than $16.50/case then we can start getting it there, but not for a while.

Alex got her run shift covered by Lindsey in the am, I'll called her to see if she got her host pm covered. She said no one would cover it, and she didn't want to call in again, so she was just going to work. When I asked what was wrong she said the doctor told her she had viral bronchitis. I told her to stay at home. I'm already sick, and so is Ali. There's already enough ick going around, and I didn't want to add bronchitis to the mix.

Lunch was steady all day. No big pop, and the place never filled up all at once, but it was definitely a good lunch- better than expected.Ticket times weren't an issue at all today. Didn't make cuts because we were busy until the end.
Dinner- slow start, but the same as last night- it picked up around 7:30 and we went on a small wait, and by 8:30 we were off the wait. But it remained steady until around 9:30. Went down to 2 on at 9:15, and cut the host. Again, it was just overall very steady and easy going.

R&M needs?:The mens room toilet may need some work. You have to hold the button down a little longer in order for it to flush. Keep an eye on it the next few days.
I moved all the to-go supplies into the office and a few are above the server station.
Also, make sure the staff knows that in the new stemless flutes I got, they only fill it up half way! The look is deceiving.
Bubbles Contest is full on. Inserts are in the drink menu- buttons are on the computer- and bubbles are chilly.

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch was steady all day. No big pop, and the place never filled up all at once, but it was definitely a good lunch- better than expected.Ticket times weren't an issue at all today. Didn't make cuts because we were busy until the end.
Dinner- slow start, but the same as last night- it picked up around 7:30 and we went on a small wait, and by 8:30 we were off the wait. But it remained steady until around 9:30. Went down to 2 on at 9:15, and cut the host. Again, it was just overall very steady and easy going.
Any VIP's in?nope
Comps of note: none that I can think of
R&M needs?:The mens room toilet may need some work. You have to hold the button down a little longer in order for it to flush. Keep an eye on it the next few days.

Caught Alex on her phone at the host stand- gave her a warning. Taylor grumbled about taking $10 off his tipshare when I cut the busser and food runner at 9:30. I didn't say anything. It was just annoying.
Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch: It was slow and we never really filled up. I kept waiting for a pop, even a late pop, but we never got one. Ticket times were okay, but not great for as slow as we were. went on a few 25-30 minute Ramen ticket times, and Amani (is that her name?) jumped in to help Christina (because christina asked her to) and she did okay assisting with Ramen as she got more comforatable. We did, however, find 3 of the new white bowls (that have the Kome logo on them) have chips in them already. I put them in the office.
Dinner: slow to start. Went on a wait by 7:30, but was off the wait by 8. Steady enough though, and went down to 2 at 9pm, and 1 by 9:30, when I cut all support staff. Had a few 45 minute sushi roll ticket times. But I didn't say anything to anyone about it, and all the tables seemed fine anyway. Everytime I went to check on the kitchen they only had about 3-4 tickets up, so there wasn't much going on there.

Misc Notes:
Brown came with the order today and said the warehouse is still out of Kirin. If Ben E Keith shows up and says the warehouse is out of Dogfish and Lagunitas, I'm going to be pissed. And we're going to have to start looking for replacements for those two. Also, we're going to be running the bubbles contest starting tomorrow night. I have the Graham beck Brut Rose coming in, as well as Frexinet Cava, and of course our usual Prosecco. It will be a contest all month long to see who can sell the most, and the contest will end Jan 2nd. I have drink menu clip-ons as well. I also ordered the Peach flavored sake and some cheap ass champagne so on Saturday we can start the Peach Sake Bellini (anyone have a good name for this? The Osaka Bellini? And I thought we could also start with some Asahi Micheladas, since that seems easy enough. I can pick up the bloody mary mix later this week.

It was a decent night. Had a couple of pops between 630-830, going on and off a wait a few times. It seems like now that it's cold out we're getting a lot more campers, and it's making wait quotes a little more challenging. We had a couple of parties go 5 minutes over here or there. Started to clear by 830, and was dead by 910. Ticket times were good most of the night. The kitchen got a little backed up with a big tops order during the first pop, but they knocked it out, and no comps were necessary. Went 3on at 830, 2 on at 9, and 1 on at 915. Cut the host at9, the SA at 930, and the FR at 945.

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Today was rough to say the least. We started and were full by 12:30. It was steady all day with people in and out and a very small wait at most. I didn't cut anyone because we were full right up until 2:45. What made things go from good to bad was the kitchen, around 1:30. I'm not sure what happened but everything came crashing down, and it was a horrendous hour before things were good again (putting us at 2:30)
So, let's talk about ticket times from what I saw in the kitchen, and then I'll tell you about what I was told when I talked with Christina and Daniel about the situation (separately):
My POV: There was absolutely no leadership in the kitchen today. Christina was trying to lead, but Daniel was just not moving fast nor was he taking any kind of direction. With Christina trying to lead, it lead to her making some mistakes and at the end of the day there were 4 bowls of ramen sitting to the side that were over-made or made too early. I sent several ramens out before their teishoku counterpart. Sometimes the lag time between the ramen and the teishoku was 10 minutes apart, leaving that one person waiting while everyone else was finished with their meal. Everything I comp'd for a long ticket today was from Teishoku. Mario was little help (and continues to be little help every week due to the fact that he only works 1 day a week and isn't polished enough to handle any station- he can not be a floater. I don't doubt his skill but he needs direction.) Daniel seemed very lackadaisical and had no sense of urgency and at one point, he knocked the pepper into the trash can, reached in and grabbed it, and was about to touch food when I asked him to wash his hands. He pumped soap on his hands, rubbed them once, rinsed them and went back to plating the cabbage. I asked him if he used soap and he said, yeah he always does that (meaning, washes his hands like that) And that to me was very disturbing because he touches food with his bare hands. If I wasn't there to tell him to wash his hands, he would have just kept going...after his hand was in the trash. Gross. The other issue I saw was a lack of organization on the line, or anywhere. There was just stuff...everywhere. And I think perhaps we could have used a second dishwasher, as dishes and pans were piling up and Basilio was moving as fast as he could (he was hustling) but too much was coming at him from too many direction. At one point I heard that they were out of pans and that they need more?
Ran into the issue of a guys Spicy Tonkotsu not being hot. I felt his bowl and the bowl seemed hot, so I threw it in the microwave, then took it back out and he seemed okay. He was understanding of how busy we were. Most people were understanding, some were not. But we need to get this under control. 45 minutes in on a ticket for A2 (the tonkotsu had already went out) and Daniel was just dropping the sake teishoku that went with it. They were getting ahead of themselves and just weren't on the same page.
Christina's POV: She saw Daniel getting in the weeds and asked him if he needed help and he said no. Leo jumped in and tried to help him but he told her to get out of his way and don't help him. That was the beginning of the end. The mismade Ramens were an oversight.
Daniel's POV: He said there was a lot of micro-managing going on. From what he said it just sounds like everyone was trying to lead and that was the issue. Leo stepped in and was trying to help but he said she was more harm than good and was just in the way so he asked her to go away. She then got pissed and stormed off and refused to help with anything else. He said there was no Yasai left over from last night so when he got in this morning so he had to prep it during service, which put him behind. Then, basically, he said there were too many hands in the pot.

I saw Rachel and Carols at the end, and Abel was in. Other than that I was in the kitchen a lot of the shift.

Who worked?:
Lunch: Ali, Kate, Johnny, Clair CL. Lindsey host, Jason SA, Perfaijer FR
Dinner: Naoto, Kate, Miho, Stephanie, Dusten CL. Lindsey/Alex host, Perfaijer SA, Kaori FR
Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch: Just, busy. Picked up at 12:30, on a wait until 2:30. Max wait was 40 minutes because of the large party that we couldn't fit in the PR and had to put in the dining room (11 plus 3 kids). They lingered a long time and pushed our quote time over, but just for 1 party.
kate sold $100 in GC, pushing her over the $250 mark so I paid her. Ali won the lunch contest: most Sides and sake wins lunch. Kate dropped a soy sauce at B8 and it spilled all over the floor. It seeped under the booth as well. Can we please make sure that we are keeping all of the togo supplies in the office on the top shelf. I know the bench was made for storage, but when things get spilled, it seeps under the bench and gets all over the packages that are under there, making them sticky and smelly. Also, if rain leaks in they get wet. there are a few things up top that can go in the trailer and I will move them, if we can please move the togo stuff to the top shelf in the office.
I added the 1st Course button on the rolls page. And I added a GC Kome Bucks discount so we can track the amount of Kome bucks we are getting back from GC purchases. In hindsight, I should have printed some that have a start and end date on them (so they can't redeem them until Jan or Feb)
Dinner: Went on a wait by 7:30 and were on a wait until about 8:30/9. It was a pretty tame and mellow night. I cut Lindsey at 8pm from the host stand because we had Ali cocktailing and Alex there too. Ali didn't see much action but helped out where we could and left by 9:15.
The only issue I encountered tonight was with B4, Naoto's table. They, I guess, had asked for things to come out separately, and then everything came out at once. They were pretty upset even after I explained that we are an izakaya style restaurant. They said they told him they wanted it coursed out and because it all came out at once, most of the kitchen food sat on their table and got cold. I told them I would speak to Naoto after the shift.

Alex called out of her host shift tonight. Apparently her father is very ill and she has been dealing with some family phone calls this week and was having a breakdown. She said she would be okay to work tomorrow night, and to be honest, tonight went well with just having 1 host and 1 cocktail (I think in this cold weather, it's actually better to just have the cocktail and 1 host) But this brings up some old issues that we had with her when she was here full time- as far as reliability goes. And this is something that I'm concerned with as we move forward with her being an employee here. Calling out of a hosting shift while there are 2 hosts is okay, but if she were on the floor it would put us in a very difficult position. I don't think it's anything we need to address right now, but just something for us to keep our eye on. Also, if things go south with her dad, we may lose her too.
Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Slow start. Went on a wait around 7:30 and stayed on a wait until 9:30. Had a moment where we were just at a dead hault because everyone was just sitting. Had a 6, another 6, a 7 and two 5 tops come in almost all at once, so they were all just sitting and then got up at the same time (around 9:15) at which point we were able to seat everyone that was on the wait at once. The 3 resos that were stacked (5, 7, 9) worked out okay, but the 5pm reso ran over (which we told them numerous times that they had another res after them) which in turn became the domino effect on the other one, running a few over for the 9pm reso. All in all, everyone was happy and no one was too upset that they had to wait an extra 5 minutes. But maybe we should be making sure that there is that 15 minute window in between PM reso's, so that we have time to turn the table. 2 hour max in the room, with 15 min turn time. It's written at the top of the reso binder, but I don't think we've been sticking to it as we should (myself included)
I made cuts around 9:30 as well, and went down to just 2 on by 10pm. At 9:30 I also cut the host. by 10:15 I went down to just Taylor, and cut kaori, and kept only Perfaijer on.
Any VIP's in?
Lots of regulars tonight: Phil and Phylis, Eudora and Wylie (nice to see them again), Rachel and Carlos
Mrs.McGuire (of the clock shop) with her son and soon to be daughter in law
Comps of note:
Gave Mrs McGuire the friends and family discount, and I comp'd those sake cocktail drinks we tried to open percent. Had some Kome bucks redeemed.

I made cuts around 9:30 as well, and went down to just 2 on by 10pm. At 9:30 I also cut the host. by 10:15 I went down to just Taylor, and cut kaori, and kept only Perfaijer on.
Any VIP's in?
Lots of regulars tonight: Phil and Phylis, Eudora and Wylie (nice to see them again), Rachel and Carlos
Mrs.McGuire (of the clock shop) with her son and soon to be daughter in law
Comps of note:
Gave Mrs McGuire the friends and family discount, and I comp'd those sake cocktail drinks we tried to open percent. Had some Kome bucks redeemed.
R&M needs?:
We need more clorox wipes for the bathroom, on the next HEB run.
We're going to run out of Sapporo before the next delivery.

Lunch: Clair, Dusten w/ Lindsey, Johnny, Lynn CL, Junko H, Per Faijer SA, Kaori FR
Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Sales were decent, but it was a pretty mellow day. Had a couple of tables go on a wait around 1230, but it was just steady with a nice pace. Ticket times were good.
Did have have one issue with customers complaining about their Ramen being cold. We remade them, and they said they were still cold. I realized that they weren't mixing the ingredients, so yes the cold items on top were cold, but once they mixed it, it was fine. Kayo noticed that we didn't have the steam table set up for some ingredients, so they were probably colder then normal. I believe she said we would have a steam table from now on, so that should eliminate future issues hopefully.

Any Special events going on?: not that I know of
Who worked?:
Dinner: Dusten, Naoto, Kate, Miho, Ali CL. Lindsey host, Hiroe FR, Perfaijer
Naoto And Perfaijer were 10 minutes late, due to traffic.
The traffic was pretty horrible today, to everyone's credit.
Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Slow to start and then it picked up okay but never went on a wait for more than 5 minutes (and it was only for about 2 parties) Tables lingered a little bit more tonight, probably due to the weather being so cold. We only had 3 tables from 5-6pm but then it popped around 7:30, and we stayed steady until about 8:30. Cut Dusten and Naoto at 8:45, then cut Kate and Miho around 9:20. Ali had 2 at the sushi bar, one table and then the 9 top 9pm reservation, so I felt safe in cutting everyone by 9:20. Also cut Lindsey and Perfaijer . The last table came in at 9:15. After that, no mas tables! Yikes.
Any VIP's in?
Kayla from Serendipity. On that note, she'll be in around 3:45 tomorrow for the bubbles tasting.
Comps of note:
Gave Kayla a friends and family discount. Had a guest DNL on the okonomeyaki because they didn't know it had mayo on it (had to remake another) and a DNL on Ni Anago because they thought it was Unagi.

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch seemed slow, but not too steady. It looked like it started to pick up around 1:15 from the looks of Sophia and Kates sales.
Dinner was a bit of the same. Slow. The height of dinner was around 7:15, but it slowed more by 8pm. I cut Clair at 8, and ran with 4 until about 9 then I went down to two. 2 more tables came in after 9:30 and I cut the support staff at that point. Dusten sold $500 in GC's!! Woohoo!! A woman named Elsie will be in tomorrow afternoon, sometime after 1:30, to pick up her left credit card. She sounds old and crotchety, just FYI Leary.
Any VIP's in?
Sean from Parkside, crew from Justines
Comps of note:
gave the Justines crew 20% off. Had a strange Kome Bucks comp- they were $10 employee kome bucks redeemed by B1 tonight, who Taylor said is a regular, but she redeemed 5 of them at a time (which was fine, her bill was over $100) but the only concern I have is employees just giving them to their friends in bulk amounts. So I have them sitting on the desk, I want to find out who's signature that is on them.
R&M needs?:
The Gasket Guy, Sam, will be in on Wed to replace gaskets in several reach in fridges (yeay!)
Leary, could you please label the shelves in the office as to which beer goes where. When I first did it last week my intention was to put everything together by distributor...but now we're nearly empty and I forgot where I had everything, so just make it easy for yourself and put everything by the same distributor together.

Who did our sign out front? I've noticed that the vibrancy of it has really taken a beating from the sun. What can we do or who do I have to call to get the sign touched up.
Also, we really need to repaint the bathrooms. I think that would help liven them up. They need a deep clean and a paint job. Maybe the next all employee clean day?
