Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch was mellow, but sale ended up being decent. Never got a big pop, or went on a wait, but it was a slow trickle that kept us busy. Went 2 on at 1, and 1 on at 145. Ticket times were good.

Dinner: We got busty early tonight. We didn't go on a wait until about 730, but we were pretty much full and busy by 6. Kayo was here most of the pop helping out (thank you). It was needed with joel being a little green at the host stand, and Kazu being new at ichiban. Kazu had a tough night. It was busier then most Wednesdays, and every table was ordering sushimi, and nigiri. Had a large sashimi plate during the pop as well. He got through it, but we had some 30-40 minute tickets. Actual had one table walk out. Luckily I was able to catch them in the parking lot, apologize, and give them some Kome bucks to try and get them back. The guy was pretty pissed, but I did my best to calm him down. I wish I had known about the situation before it got to that point, but it was so busy and they were so quiet that stephanie didn't even realize that they were mad. We got through the pop, but there was a bit of a rough patch. We came off the wait around 845, and mellowed out by 910. Went 2 on at 915 and closed that way. Naoto took excellent care of our VIP Japanese tables. The star of the show signed a flyer for Take and Kayo. It's in Take's box.

Any VIP's in? Manager from goodnight, Maggie and Ryan, Kyle Offidani

Comps of note: a handful of friends and family, lot's of Kome bucks from contest prizes
