Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: LUNCH: Slow and steady day. Only briefly did ticket time for sushi and ramen approach 20 minutes. Kitchen was short handed today and there were a good amount of orders for ramen. Busiest between 12:30 and 1pm, and then a significant drop off. Cut down to two servers at 1:10pm and just Kate by 1:45pm. Today I put the Pandora station on shuffle with 10-15 different stations from Oingo Boing to Grant Green, so there would be more of a variety of music playing... something for everyone. 
DINNER: steady pace and significantly busier than lunch. At 5:45 we were about 2/3 full. We went on wait at 7:45pm until about 8:30pm. Sushi bar was very busy and Take ran out of a few things. Krystin seemed to do really well SA'ing. She mentioned she hadn't done it before so I can her some guidelines and pointers and let her run with that. Went 3 on at 9:30 and then down to Taylor and Jason at 9:20pm. Alex claimed to not be feeling well which is why Jason stayed on, and the earlier cut to two.

Any VIP's in? LUNCH: Several regulars were recognized. Leia from Justine's came in with Clayton, and the owner of Matt's el Rancho
DINNER: none that I recognized. A couple, Scott and Christie mentioned it was their 6th visit and were very happy with every experience they'd had here. I wanted to send them something but they'd already paid out and were headed out the door.

Comps of note:SIN discount for Leia. Numerous SIN Discounts during dinner. The word is spreading.
