Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch: Lunch was slow all day, I think probably because of the US World Cup game. Not much to talk about really. Cut Joel at 12:45 and Sophia at1:30 and ran with Lynn to close. No long tickets, no issues to speak of. On a side note, on Tuesday of last year we only did $983 in lunch sales & $2761 in dinner sales, which was why I decided to close for the employee party. Now I know what a $983 lunch feels like. Ooooph.

Dinner: Had about 6 or 7 tables in for happy hour, which was a nice and then by 7pm or so we went on a wait. Had A LOT of large parties tonight. 6's and 5's, and one 8 top that called ahead but there was nothing we could really do for them until they arrived. They were from Moonshine celebrating a friends bday so I gave them a 10% discount in the end. They waited an hour for their table and were great about it. Ruthie was very busy at the host stand so I cocktailed for a few hours. Nothing too intense, but I did make quite a few of those new sake-cocktails, woohoo!! The night was overall very smooth. No long ticket times or missed items. Happy faces all around. Cut Sophia at 9 and went down to 2 on at 9:20

Any VIP's in?
Met a new regular named Phyllis. She's about my height, dark hair, probably late 30's mid 40's, and has a bit of a belly. But really nice. She use to live in NYC on 9th and University :)

Phil and Phyllis from next door were in for dinner. They're so sweet.

Comps of note:
Did 50% off rolls for employees in the AM to give Andrew some practice. I comp'd it to Emp Day Off. And the 10% off FNF for Moonshine

R&M needs?:
The linen locker came in and is in place! Hopefully this will help cut down on the flies. vince also has the bug light to install near the dumpster so hopefully our fly troubles will soon dissolve.

86'd items/ need more?
Kinako- Where do we order more from?
Cameron, on the next order for house red, can you order their pinot noir (we already have some) I want to switch over to that as our house red during the summer.
