Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
What a night. It wasn't crazy busy, it was similar to last night, slow build to a good start, then on a wait, then off a wait, then on a wait again by 8pm and lasting a little longer than last night, when we got off the wait around 10:20. At the peak of the wait we were hitting almost an hour. Went over the quote time on 2 tables, but they were understanding.  It certainly seemed like an amateur night, see the notes about the comps below. It got kind of rough around 9:30pm when we started running out  of a lot of sushi bar items. We had already started 86-ing sushi bar items around 8:30, but by 9:30/9:45 we were on a roll with calling 86'd items. The Party room got the brunt of it, and started getting a little upset, but after some kitchen food started coming they got better.
Please note to the staff tomorrow: please do not order anything that contains noodles, we are very low. No Ten Zaru, no ramen, etc.


Any VIP's in? not tonight

Comps of note:
Lots of comps tonight. Lots of "guest changed mind" comps. Gyoza, philly roll, eel box to name a few. I asked each server (because it happened to each of them at least once) if they were repeating the orders back and they said yes, some of them even had it written in their notepads. So we can continue to talk about it in pre-shift, that the servers are double checking with their tables on orders, but sometimes it is just the people. 

R&M needs?:
Patrick will be in in the morning to install the fan

86'd items/ need more?
Well god, where do I start? First of all, the lids for the kids cups are too big, same goes for the to-go ramekins. 86: Mexican coke, toothpicks, bandaids, scotch tape (still? I don't know how we go through that much) Also, if anyone is going to Rest Depot tomorrow can you please pick up 3 cases of pint glasses. I believe they're called "mixing glasses". 3 cases please. We were running super low tonight and I was trying to stop in on my way to work this afternoon but they had already closed.
Did we just stop ordering from Keg 1 altogether? It's fine because it won't be on the new menu, but I'm just curious.
Also, Leary, please be sure to order heavy tomorrow for the coming week since next Monday is a holiday.
And a note to all managers: please note the quantities of towels you are using each day. I grabbed Jason SA getting like 3 more towels when we started service. I only saw 2 in the bucket so I gave him one more, but if we are getting towels just because we don't see one then that could be why we've been running out 2 weeks in a row.
