Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Started off with a BANG. This is probably the 4th or 5th sunday in a row now that we've filled up by 12:15. It certainly was an interesting start to the shift. A woman came in right before we opened to tell us she had 13 people. So right before we opened we set up the back b's for 13. Then we opened. Sat a few 2 and 3 tops, then came to her and she said only 4 are here right now. We asked that she wait until the rest of her party gets here, and she said she was in a rush so just seat the 4 of them at any table. So I went and broke down the 13 top and we sat them at B7. We proceeded to fill up except for B6, B3, and B1. So when the other 5 of her group (now a total of 9, not 13) arrived she rushed to the host stand and told me where to seat them. I told her I would take care of it and make sure they were sitting an an appropriate sized table for their party. She was a very pushy, impatient woman, but backed down once I talked to her. We sat them at B1 because it was the only place to put the family of 5. I gave them the option of having 2 sit with the already sat 4 but they said they would sit where I put them.  They ate and left without incident. :)
Then during all of that we had an 8-top walk in: 4 adults, 4 very tiny children. So we pushed A6-7 together for them. Then a 6 top walked in. It was a hectic first hour. But after that it died down, like a usual Sunday. No second late pop or anything. Cut Joel at 1:30, Clair at 2:15, and Krystin at 2:30, leaving Stephanie on for the last half hour. During that time only 3 tables came in. Stephanie didn't get a whole lot of tables today since she was sushi bar. She got about 1 full round and that was that. 

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

• Lina SA'd and was on top of it. She was always staying busy and alert when tables were getting up
• Jason was food running today and I had a mini-conversation with him about 1- slowing down a bit, he came blazing through the service station and almost trampled Lina, who was carrying a full tray of dishes. 2- taking it down a notch in general- we know he wants to work hard and will work hard,but he needs to dial the intensity back a bit. 3-Full hands in and out. He was receptive to the feedback. I also spoke with him at the end of his shift
• Stephanie was really helpful when we first opened, despite the fact that she had no tables she ran waters to both Joel and Krystin's full sections and helped out until she got her first table, about 30 minute later. 

Any VIP's in?
