Monday 1.13.14

Closed for Lunch for staff meeting and employee clean

LY Dinner Sales: $3491
TY Dinner Sales: $4104
+/- : down 10% for the day. We were up 18% for dinner though!!!! Not bad! LY Lunch sales were $1051 on this day, which is why I chose this morning to close. Looks like dinner was great though!


Weather:Sunny and pretty

Any Special events going on?: just your typical Monday

Who worked?:
Clair, Alex, Lindsey, Johnny, Taylor CL.  Jen Host, Jason SA, Hiroe FR
Jen was late today. She thought her in time was 5pm not 4:30. I told her this is a freebie and a warning. Do not let it happen again. I do believe it was an honest mistake on her part. But just keep an eye out.

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Started really slow. didn't pick up until 6:45 and we went on a wait at 7:15 but were off the wait by 8:15. I cut Clair at 8:30and everyone else at 9. Cut the host and SA at 9:45. Slowed down a bit after 9pm. No issues anywhere. Smooth steady night.


Any VIP's in?
Doug, Moonshine. He does not tip well. Not sure why, considering he owns a restaurant. Though that doesn't mean anything.

Comps of note:
2 DNL on Toro: Had 2 tables not like the Toro because they both said it was very chewy and sinew-y. Not really sure how it is supposed to taste, but considering two tables at two different parts of the night said the exact same thing, I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to taste like that. I don't know what goes into preparing it, either.

R&M needs?:
I posted the new Daily Duties in the service station. They are posted on the wall, so make sure they are getting done and we are keeping this place squeeky clean!

86'd items/ need more?
I have some questions regarding our dessert selections and presentation. So I looked up warabi mochi so I could get a better idea of what the presentation was supposed to look like. And I got it. And I looked up green tea parfait (though I know the presentation thanks to kayo showing me early on here)
But then we found things in the fridge that look like mini-mochi's and we didn't know what they were or where they came from. So a little clarity here on that. Also, the staff requested that we keep all desserts in stock (I asked them to focus on selling desserts this quarter, so they requested we keep them in stock)
Next, is this a proper picture to show the staff on the warabi mochi?
