Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Decent lunch. Filled up around 1, but it didn't really turn out to be much, as it died down after the initial pop. I cut Sayo at 1, and held on to the other 3 since people were still somewhat coming in on a regular basis. So I kept all 3 of them on until close. It wasn't that we had a weaker crew on or anything, but I just wasn't feeling the teamwork or solidity from them. But I didn't feel confident that they would step it up if need be. I don't know why I was feeling that way. Maybe there were just too many hands on the floor with Jason training Kaori. They're both really intense workers, so perhaps I was feeling a bit of that. Who knows. 

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):

• Alex is still not using the check presenters. Last Saturday she was using app plates or cups to drop checks in and I had to correct her and today she wasn't using anything. She said she doesn't like them, and I told her that I don't care, she needs to use them. So, just keep an eye on that. 
• Kate was quiet again today. I'm getting a feeling from her that she is looking for something else or is feeling "blah" about Kome again. Kind of like last year when she left to go to Mettle, but then came back all bright eyed and bushy tailed. She's been giving a lot of her shifts away, which is why I scheduled her only 2 dinner shifts next week and several lunch shifts. 
• Kaori seemed excited about SA-ing but also a little timid. She was training with Jason so maybe that was some of it. At one point she had the towel sitting on dirty plates and I had to tell her not to do that. And I told Jason to relay to her that her main task is to bus, wipe & set the tables. Everything else is secondary. Jason said she had a lot of nervous energy today, so something to keep an eye on. Her jitters give me the jitters

Any VIP's in?

Comps& Void Detail:
Comp'd 1 yoshizo roll because she was allergic to avocado and the menu doesn't state that the Yoshizo has avocado in it.
