Friday PM 2.21.14

LY Dinner Sales:$6227
Projected: $7240
TY Dinner Sales:$6214
+/- : broke even pretty much. down $2k for the day with projections. Down5% for the day compared to LY.
On a side note, writing this week's projections was difficult. I knew that we were going to encounter our first warm week in a while which I knew would have an impact on our business, however I wanted to keep sales competitive so that we were still pushing to upsell, etc. Tonight, I failed us, greatly. Sales were average, at best.


Weather: Sunny but cooling off a bit after sunset

Any Special events going on?:

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Really slow start. Picked up a little around 6:30 but didn't really kick into a normal Friday until around 7:30. We still were on a wait but it wasn't anything crazy. Julie tends to over quote a little, so I was watching over the host stand a little to make sure we were staying on track with our quotes. I think Jen got her in the bad habit of quoting upwards of an hour, and we rarely get on that kind of wait. So I had her bring it down to 45-1hr to give it a window. She is doing really well though and I don't mind being there to help her during higher volume times. The whole night went on without interruption or error. No long tickets, no upset guests, nothing of note.

Any VIP's in?
James and Ingrid were in- met a nice couple in the lobby and bought them drinks. They're so sweet. 

Comps of note:

R&M needs?:

86'd items/ need more?
Miho pointed out that we need more monkey dishes for ginger wasabi, and also more dessert forks and iced tea spoons.
