Any Special events going on?:

Who worked?:
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!

Any VIP's in?
Neil, Rachel and Carlos
