Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch started off really slow. Never got a pop, and it was dead by 115 so I went 2 on. We did a small late pop, but nothing crazy. Just enough so the closers made a little money. Ticket times were good.

Dinner started off really slow, but started to pick up a bit around 7. We went on a small wait by 730, and were up to about a 30-45 min wait by 8. Came off the wait around 9, and I went 2 on by 925. We got a good amount late tables. Enough to keep everyone busy. Things were smooth most of the night, but we ran out of avocado around 9. There were several orders on the sushi line waiting to be made that we had to ask tables what they wanted instead. It caused some long ticket times ( I think 45 minutes were the longest tickets I saw). Most of the tables were understanding, but they were a little grumbly about having to re-order after their orders had been in for 20 minutes. One table was pretty unhappy so I comped their 2 remake rolls. A solo customer (mentioned below) was having bad luck ordering things that we had just 86'd. It took over 45 minutes to get 3 nigiri pieces, so I comped those as well. He super appreciative and understanding, but I felt like it was the right thing to do. Hopefully it will keep him as a customer.  

Any VIP's in? Owner of contigo, head chef of sway, Steve from Barflys, Chris from Lambert's?

Comps of note:Comped 2 glasses of Terre di Gioja (the bottle was over a week opened and had started to turn. Comped a couple of rolls due to long wait, and being out of avocado. Comped 3 nigiri pieces for a guy that was waiting for pieces that we ended up being 86'd, and then the next 5 pieces he ordered we were out of as well. it took about 45 minutes before he got any pieces so I felt like we should comp them. He was very understanding, and happy by the end.
