Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
AM:
In the morning we started off to a good start. We filled up quickly. We had 4 six tops back to back. We went on a wait at 12:30. Things slowed down and we went 1 on at 1:30pm.
We did have some issues this morning. First, the beverage inventory was all wrong and seemed to be miscounted which threw everything else off so Leery spent some time fixing that. Second, Sarah couldn't work today because she injured herself possibly tearing her ACL. She said she would call from ER with updat4ed but we haven't heard anything since from her. I was able to get all her remaining shifts for this week covered and the new schedule is posted. I will try to give her a call to see what is going on, but regardless those shifts will be covered.
Other AM issues...Take and Krystins lunch went missing today which is awful. Managers have only been putting orders in but I need to think of a better system to where this problem can stop.
Stephanie was a little flustered after trying to deal with a very unbearable party room. I had to comp a dynamite roll that came out very late. I also tried to talk to the table to see how everything was and everyone was happy except for one person who seemed a little bit odd. He kept insinuating that Stephanie was lying to him and keeping the real dessert menu a secrete when he wanted to order mochi ice cream....I told him this is the only dessert menu we have. The rest of the party apologized for him when they were leaving.
PM:
This evening was kind of steady but we never got onto a wait. It was ok since we were only 4 on. Upon the release of the cheese plate I watched the servers try and upsell. To boost popularity I gave the OK to share it with our regulars and get them involved! Everyone was a little skeptical and didnt understand it at first, but after the servers explained it to them and they tasted everything they LOVED it.
Any VIP's in?
 Pasha and Brian King, Shelly from the Chronicle, Ransome and partner.

Comps of note:
