Weather:Cool and Pleasant. In the mid 70's after sunset - unseasonably cool for July in TEXAS! I'm not complaining though.

Any Special events going on?:World Cup and day after the 4th of July (I guess that goes without saying...)

Who worked?:
Joel, Alex, Naoto, Stephanie, Dusten CL. Lina host, Lindsey CT (and helped host) Kaori FR, Jason SA

Jason mentioned to me that he would like to start training in food running. I don't think it's a bad idea. He has come a long way since he first started here. I would like to see him in a few FR training shifts when we can spare him. He knows he will be primarily bussing, but it's always good to have another FR trained.

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Started slow. I called out this night before it even happened and I was right. It was slow, but steady. We went on a wait around 7/7:15 and stayed on a small slow wait until 10:30. It was a lot of 2 tops, with some 4 tops sprinkled in for good measure. Had a walk in 6 top around 9:30 and a few 5 tops here and there. The two resos were good and were in and out in their prescribed time. Even running with just one host (because of the Julie situation) we were okay. I helped Lina up at the host stand when she needed it, but Lindsey was also very helpful in her CT downtime. Lina handled the volume on her own very well. She will be working Julie's AM shifts next week too, btw.

Ticket times were okay. Sushi bar was hitting 30 minutes for rolls here and there, which was surprising, but I suppose it was a roll heavy night. Also a gyoza got missed in the kitchen due to Kaori stabbing the ticket though it wasn't run. 

 At 10pm Jason informed Joel that we were out of ice, after refilling the service station ice bin. Joel in turn told me. I in turn told Jason that he needs to inform me of this before he scoops out the last bucket of ice. I also informed him that he was now to walk over to the convenience store and pick up as much ice as $5 could get him (that of which I gave him from the change bank). He returned with 3 bags of ice.

Any VIP's in? 
Clarke Family was in, and neighbors Ryan and Basha.

R&M needs?: 
About the Office: If you eat in the office, please clean up after yourself. If you spill something on the desk or your glass sweats all over the desk, please wipe it up. I came in today after having the last few days off to the most disgusting desk ever. Also, if an order comes in, please put it away. The office is small enough without having boxes upon boxes pile up. And if the staff is restocking, please make sure if they open a case, they empty the case of the 6-packs. Today I found ONE BOTTLE of Ramune sitting in the now ginormous, nearly empty box of Ramune. Little things like that. Ridiculous. Speaking of a small office, please do your best to leave it neat and clean at the end of your shift. Put things where they belong, put things in place, and please try to limit the employees to the shelf and the chair, otherwise employee items get out of hand getting put anywhere. This office is small, and I get claustrophobic sometimes. Please let's keep it clean.  Thank you for listening to my office rant :)
