Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch: Lunch was a nice steady pace today. I probably should have written these notes after lunch because I have medicine brain and can't remember if we went on a wait or not. I don't think we did. I think it was just steady enough
Dinner: What a great night! We started with a nice happy hour crew, about 5 tables in, then we were full by 6:30 with a steady one in one out, and finally went on a wait by 7, a steady 20-30, and at one point had 3 tables wait 45 minutes due to the fact that we had a rush of 3/4 tops and only 2 tops getting up. But no one was upset. We didn't have any major ticket times. At the height maybe we were at 25 minutes for rolls. But we were just consistently busy all night, it was great. Got off the wait around 9:15 at which point I went down to just Naoto and Taylor. Kept support on until 10pm
Any VIP's in?
Lunch: Rachel and Carlos came in right at the end
Dinner Regulars: Ingrid and James, Ransom and David, John owner of Clowndog Bicycles

Comps of note:
Did some FNF for my friend Candice who was in for dinner, had some DNL's, one was a hot sake, one was a dango

R&M needs?:
These were discussed at the mgr meeting so no need to rehash

86'd items/ need more?
Take has sake-kasu coming next Thursday with Yamasho
Servers mentioned more than once that we were out of crystallized ginger, so if we could get more of that.  
Also we were talking about desserts and if we could get a chocolate dessert on the menu, maybe to replace the warabi mochi's. Just a thought. I think it would help boost dessert sales for sure.
