Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Better than yesterday is all I can say. Still super super slow. Never filled up. Never even came close to filling up. Had another run in with an unhappy guest about our seating policy. She was upset and said she would never be bringing her business lunches here ever again. And then her cohort said he had low blood-sugar, but when I offered him a coke or izze he declined (:-/) While I was trying to explain to her in the nicest way possible why we do this, their 3rd came in the front door, at which point she looks at him, points at him and yells "it's all your fault!" Poor guy. What a warm welcome. I then told him it wasn't his fault and we're so glad he's here, and if anyone is the bad guy it can be me, but in the meantime let's get you sat and put some food in your belly! And got them sat. Then I immediately brought them clear soups for his blood sugar. They seemed happy after that. but golly!!
Anyhow, it was an uneventful afternoon to say the least. Cut down to 3 at 12:30 and cut down to 2 at 1pm, and 1 at 1:15pm. It was a ghost town in here today. Don't know why. Lunches have been down, consistently by 20% over LY.

Any VIP's in? Moto and Kayo.

Comps of note:

R&M needs?:
I need to get another bag of sand for the smoking post out front. And the hose holder is on the brink of destruction. Also, Vince, can you get rid of the trash cans that we are throwing the linens in behind the gate? They have accumulated rain water and have been a breading ground for flies. Just flip it upside down and put aside. Nathan with Prudential says that with those bags we are using now, we can just throw the linen bag on the ground, it's okay.

86'd items/ need more?
We will need Maine Root Ginger Brew by Monday. Didn't see it come from Sysco. For now maybe if someone sees it at Restaurant Depot or  HEB. I can check out reps and see if anyone carries it.
