Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
started slow and I wasn't sure we were going to get the usual Friday crowd, which we didn't, but we did go on a wait around 6:15, with a lot of 5 tops and 4 tops. Went on an hour wait around 6:30. It started to slow down a bit but then we got hit again around 8pm and were on another short wait. It was steady in and out for a little while. Lindsey was the CT and she wasn't too busy, only bringing in $425 in sales. Clair was a little complainy in the beginning of the shift, and Kate got really shaky at one point, I'm not sure if it was stress or what, but she drank her carrot juice, and I had her sit outside and eat a small bowl of rice to get something in her stomach. She came back in and was okay after that. We were off a wait by 9:30 and I cut Lindsey, and Sophia, then went down to just Dusten and Kate at around 10:05. It died real fast after that. oh! There were these 3 Spanish dudes in who, apparently tried to come in Wed night at 10:30 and we were closed, but they came in last night and they came in again tonight. They really like us.
Lindsey called me after she left and she got in a car wreck on the way home. Said she'll be walking to work for the next few days, just FYI.
A guy named John Roadhouse wanted to buy a men's large black t-shirt but were out, so I told him I would call him when we got them in: 847-987-1122
Another guest was disappointed how we do our tempura veggies now and suggested we go back to the larger pieces rather than the mixed veggie bunch. Just passing along that feedback.
Any VIP's in?
Amy and Jay Westlake were in (nice couple), a woman named Karen came in with her dad, mom, step-dad and daughter, she was very excited to be here. The Anna Faris look alike girl was in (laurie?) with a new boyfriend dude. It got awkward for a minute because Stephanie said they were in a fight, and they left pretty fast too...it was awkward for sure. Ray and his wife were in, dang it I think her name is Carol but I'm not 100% on that.
Comps of note:
Had to comp a kaki fry because Ray McGuire say "Take fries" and Clair thought he said kaki fry. But they wanted Kome Fries. And then right after that was a tonpeiaki for kate because they didn't know it had all the sauce on it and wanted it on the side. Other than that, nothing else stands out.
R&M needs?:
86'd items/ need more?
I understand some customers may like our old style Tempra veg instead of Kakiage, but the volume of business we have here, making each pieces of tempra really slows us down, so, having Kakiage( i think it tastes really good too!) is the best solution to keep our food quality and efficiency. If anyone ever asks,,, just FYI. ;)
