Jake is definitely getting better at the host stand. She still needed help, but getting stronger by the day.  
Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch:
Lunch was slow, as expected. It's always a mellow week after SXSW, and it was a great day to be on a patio. It was an easy breezy shift with 3 on. Almost filled up around 1230, but quickly emptied back out. Ticket times were good. 2 on at 115. Cut Host at 130.
Dinner:
It was a slow start. Definitely feeling the effects daylight savings time.We did finally fill up and go on a wait around 745. Got up to about 40 minutes, and came off the wait around 9. Service went smoothly. Kitchen had a mellow shift, and ticket times were good. The sushi bar got the brunt of the business. Rolls got up the 25-30 minutes. Toshi and Roger were good about communicating long times which was very much appreciated. I'm torn about Andrew. He is obviously slower than the other guys, but some of his rolls looked fabulous. His presentation is spot on. It would be great if he can kept up the look while increasing his speed. No comps due to ticket times. Comped one endo roll DNL. Went 1 on at 930, and support staff closed.    

Any VIP's in?
