Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Tonight started out slow, we didn't fill up or get on wait until 7:45/8. Once we did fill up we had a great night. We stayed on a busy wait until 9:50. Everyone was super hustling today. I went 3 on at 9:45, which is late but I needed all hands on deck so our service wouldn't be compromised.
I had an issue with Sayo when I came on. Well 2 things. Sushi bar put the wrong roll on a plate of 3. Sayo didn't check her ticket or announce the rolls when she brought them to the table. I explained to her how it is necessary to be checking every ticket and every item you see, but on top of that to announce items when you go to the table.
Other than that tonight was steady and pretty busy. Thursdays seem to be getting a lot busier.

Lina and Sarah were hosting together tonight (schedule mix up I think) this would have been sarah's first night time hosting out of training. I told her it would probably be getting busy and we agreed that this would be a final "train" on a busy night. I'm happy I did that because it was busy and she would not have been able to handle it. She is doing a little better but still lacks confidence and a voice. I don't know if this is going to be a good fit for her, unless she miraculously blossoms into a super hosting miracle.

The sushi printer has been acting really strange, I remember a while a go it was sending duplicate tickets but then it stopped. Tonight Lindsey was trying to stagger her table items and put a hold on a Crunchy Dynamite, Go-Go, and Longhorn roll. She later came to me saying the sushi bar made it twice and after looking at the tickets there was a print time at 9:26pm and another identical ticket with the print time at 9:42pm. There was also nothing to void since it was only rang in once...very strange I am not too sure how to fix this
