Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch was very slow, never filled up, never even got close to a wait. Kept everyone on until after 2 because last week we ended up on a wait at 2:15 and I was already down to two. However this week proved very different and we never got a pop, never went on a wait, and so I kept 4 listless servers on untli 2:15, at which point I cut 2 of them, kept Alex on for another 15 minutes, then went down to just Stephanie. We had about 5 tables come in during the last 15 minutes of service, one being a 7-top, but it kept Stephanie busy and she did fine. I had to remind Jen that she needed to tell tables when they sat at 2 that we were doing last call, or something to that effect. She said okay, and told me that she didn't say anything to the one table because they saw her flip the sign over saying closed. Oh well. They were all fine. Ran a Gyoza, Shrimp Temp & 1/2 Kara-age contest. Alex won, selling 7.

Dinner was a typical (or what is now typical). Line of folks at 5:30, on a wait by 6:15, off a wait at 10:15. Had a lot of 6+ tops walk in all around the same time. Sat the party room 3 rotations, which was super profitable for Clair, had a 9-top in the dining room, and clusters of 2 tops then 4 tops. So it was challenging, and we went over quote time for about 3 or 4 tables, but they were all understanding and really nice. Had a few underquotes due to people no show-ing, but again, everyone was happy. A steady busy night, no one got in the weeds, no excessively long ticket times and positive attitudes all around.

Any VIP's in?
Kayo met the owner of Pluckers. He was in with his wife and parents (or in laws?)

Comps of note:

R&M needs?:
I will be calling Atex Pest control on Monday about a roach kayo found at B8 (as well as the furry visitor I encountered) and I will also call the electrician about looking into the bathroom light as well as the slight flicker we experience every time the AC turns on.
