Weather:It was very humid and looked like it was going to rain the whole night, but never ended up doing so.

Any Special events going on?:
Memorial Day weekend.

Who worked?:
Stephanie, Clair, Alex, Jason, Dunsten, Ruth (H), Julie (H), Lindsey (CT), Krysten (CT train)

Ruth- please do not schedule her on Weekend nights any more. She can be the second host, but not first cut. She can not handle the host stand by herself. There is no initiative there, and she lacks the control it takes to be in charge of the situation when a slew of people come in all at once. Not only that, but it is almost nearly impossible to hear her. Please don't schedule her for lunches and slower shifts until she improves. In the mean time I will post an Ad on poached for a full time Host. I would like to know that whoever is working the host stand can take charge of difficult situations as well as handle the volume of a busy Saturday night.  


Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Steve came in with a really torn apart shirt. At first I didn't notice, but when he came out to the FOH for something during service I noticed the entire back of his shirt was ripped open. I told him that he can't wear shirts like that to work. And told Daniel to give him the option of buying a Kome shirt, or going home and changing. He ran home and changed.

We need to do something about the space in the server reach in. Can we please come up with a solution on where to put kitchen and sushi bar items, such as lemon/lime juice, cream cheese, milk & miso paste? That side of the fridge is being jammed with stuff and we need the room for our beverages.

Business started off good. We filled up and went on a wait at 6:45pm. We stayed consistently on a wait until 8:30. No one waited longer than 30 minutes to be sat. At 8:45 Julie (H) was cut. At 9:15 the restaurant started to fill up again which is when Ruth started having a lot of trouble controlling the waiting area. 2 different parties started seating themselves and Ruth had no control over the situation. After that situation was recovered we cut Ruth at 9:45. Our second pop happened from 9:30-10:15. there was no wait but it was just the restaurant filling back up. Alex was cut at 9, Clair was cut at 9:20, Stephanie was cut at 9:40. Everything started emptying out at 10:20.
Ticket times for sushi bar and kitchen were both good tonight.
