Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
AM:
This morning was very slow. I made cuts at 12:30pm and went 2 on. I kept Alex on since she was training Krystin and wanted to make sure she got everything she needed to know on her last day of server training. Alex is an excellent teacher and her and Krystin made a great team today and Krystin really excelled. She seemed a little shy when working alone but I think she just has to get her own script down and the confidence will come soon.
It picked up very slightly towards the end of lunch, which was good because Krystin and Alex were sharing all the tables. We forgot to do a training meal for them and when we remembered it was already last call so I owe each of them one.

PM:
Tonight started off very slow. We went on a short wait at 7:30. I went 3 on at 8pm which worked out very well. Taylor, Sophia and Miho stayed busy and had a good consistent flow of business. Sophia got a little in the weeds after she got the party room and double sat by Ruth, and by pushy customers who wanted to sit in specific areas. She quickly recovered and got into her groove and did a great job. The 3 of them make a very strong closing team.

Any VIP's in?

Comps of note:
Meal comps might be high because I comped them from yesterday but never settled the check apparently. Ill make sure I am double checking my screen at the end of day to make sure I closed everything out.

R&M needs?:

86'd items/ need more?

Side note:
