Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch was decent. We got an earlier pop than normal today. We were pretty much full by 1215. Stayed steady until around 1, and then started to slow down. Went 2 on at 1, and 1 on at 130. Anthony is going to be a good addition. Kayo pointed out some things that he needed to do differently, but he his incredible open to all feedback. If we keep giving it, he'll probably be one of our stronger servers in a couple of weeks. Ticket times were good.

Dinner was oddly slow tonight. We barley went on a wait around 8. It stayed steady, and we had some big spenders in here so sales were decent despite the mellow flow of business. Most of the night went slowly. Had a couple of drunk jerky guys at the sushi bar tonight. Very rude, and pushy. Also upset that we didn't have thousand island dressing for sushi rolls. Despite their obnoxious behavior the staff (sushi bar, Kaori, and servers) handled them with grace and professionalism. It was nice to see. Not something we have to deal with too often. Went 2 on at 9. Ticket times were good. Rolls got a little backed up with a 13 top's order, but got back on track quickly.   

Any VIP's in? 

Comps of note: Lot's of training comps to tonight with 2 trainees.

R&M needs?:The Ice machine should be getting cleaned tomorrow. Called pest service to come out tomorrow as well (we've been getting tree roaches in the building). Also flies have been really bad the past couple days. I asked Jason to pick up some fly bait tomorrow at restaurant depot.
