Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
An idea for the cheese plates... Tonight Take was playing around with different parings with the nigiri pieces which got a good response from some lucky customers able to try. Also, I know we were previously buying the cheese plates for our loyal customers to get feedback and hopefully get them to spread the word! This seemed to be working well but I think a more efficient way of getting the cheese plate to become more on the map would be table samples, or samples while on wait. This could be done by CT or servers around the restaurant or outside. If outside, the CT (most likely) have small, plated samples with a tiny sample of wasabi and nori and the information card about our new featured item, the cheese plate! Or servers can do the same with their tables to introduce the new item. The will help reach many more people but still use less than the entire plate its self.

It was brought to my attention that the glasses and dishes were coming out dirty today and a lot were sent back to get rewashed. When I got on I talked to the PM dishwashers about this and they said it is because the other dishwashers aren't checking the filter on the inside during the shift. Its common for chopsticks to fly out during a cycle and plug up the filter causing the cycle to run with dirty water! I'm glad it wasn't anything too serious, but everyone just needs to be on the same page so we don't have to keep rewashing dishes.

It started out to be a slow night and we didn't go on wait until 7:15/7:30. after that stayed consistently busy. An 8 top walked in and we had 10 2-tops on wait at once at 8:40. The wait didn't ever exceed 35 minutes for the whole night.

Lindsey and Clair were cut at 9:45, Krystin (CT)  9:35, Julie at 9:40.. got off wait at 9:40




Miho sold one cheese plate and Joel sold 2


Any VIP's in?

Comps of note:
comp'd/refund 2 Ika pieces that Stephanie sold. The two women were unknowing and I think assumed that is was going to be like a sweet bbq flavor maybe? Anyways they asked to get shrimp instead.
