Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Today was painfully slow, We never filled up and never went on wait the entire night. I don't think I have ever worked a night this slow. I cut to 3 at 8 and I thought we might get a pop but we never did.
I explained to Sarah multiple times to be louder and more confident when working the host stand. When her and Lina were together she just sank back and let Lina run the show. I cut Lina at 7:45 and told Sarah she needs to take control like Lina does. She was a little better but I will give her a final write up the next time I work with her....it will coincide with the probational training action plan she is already on.
It might have been so slow due to it being the end of the month, Lina pointed out that today was the due date for her college tuition, so maybe people needed to save money

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
Sayo has been doing a great job managing her tables and hitting her selling points
Everyone was productive on down time today making sure things were stocked and organized

Any VIP's in?
