Who worked?:
Sophia, Dusten, Clair, Naoto, Miho CL. Julie host, Hiroe FR, Perf SA
Julie is going through some family troubles and came into her shift today in tears. But she pulled it together and got through the shift. I think just keeping her smiling was a huge help. 

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
The night started slow, I was expecting an early pop, but we didn't fill up until a little after 7pm, and we were on a wait until 10pm, when we sat our last table, Rachel and Carlos. The high point of the night we were at 30-40 minute wait, but it never went over that. Pretty good flow of business, never any huge spikes or parties that threw us for a loop. All 2's, 3's and 4's in the house tonight.

I'll be adding beverage stocking to the shift notes for this week. Lately we have had to 86 some drinks because we would run out of them in the cooler and no one would say anything until it was too late. So I would like for us to focus on remembering to stock while in service.

Theresa started as a new dishwasher tonight. She was super sweet and just really nice. A friend of Daniels, apparently. After she left, she noticed glassware sitting out front and she came back in and brought it in. How nice! Right!? She'll be in tomorrow around 4pm to fill out her paperwork. I printed it up and put it on the printer in case she comes in earlier.

Any VIP's in?
rachel and carlos had friends in from new york that they brought in. I met Jen Daley, who loves this place. She worked at Uchi for 7 years, then helped open Bouldin Coffee shop, and then opened up The Wet Whistle (and has recently sold it) and now she works at flightpath. She brought in her friend Chris who just bought a place here on 51st, so he's a new neighborhood guy. 

Comps of note:
Had to comp a 50 minute Negi-toro. When I asked the guys what happened, no one had an answer for me. So I have no news on it other than it took 50 minutes. 

R&M needs?:
