Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:

• Pretty steady flow of business today. 4 tables in the first 30 minutes, then we went on a wait around 12:30, but partially because we had a few incomplete parties. We were full for a good bit though. When I noticed it was dying down I cut Joel (12:55) and then went 2 on at 1:10 since it had really started to clear out. Kept the two on until Close since it was steady enough.
•  Had a guy come in around 1:10 and say that the other 3 were on their way and that he needed to be out by 1:45 so I made an exception and sat him, and he ordered immediately through Lynn. Turns out the other 3 was his wife and two small children. They left at 2:15. I hate being lied to. However Lynn said that he was really appreciative of being sat and able to order and have food out for them when they arrived. So I guess that's good. He left happy too. Again, very good!
• We sold 16 bento's today- they sold very well and I believe have been a credit to our higher PPA at lunch. 
• Had a lady upset that the pork belly was fatty...umm...oxymoron? I told her typically pork belly is very fatty, but offered to get her more. She accepted and I brought back 2 more pieces of "fatty" pork belly. She seemed okay after that. Understanding as much as she possible could

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

1. Kaori is doing better. Definitely less intense of an SA today. And very helpful. 
2. Lynn is great- really able to consolidate her tasks and move through the dining room with ease
3. Steven (kitchen) was burning through those bentos today. From my perspective he was very organized and able to get through the Bento rush (at one point there were 6 bentos on the line)

Any VIP's in?
everyone

Comps& Void Detail:
voided a side salad and clear soup because they ended up ordering a teishoku (lynn), regular makani stuff after that

R&M needs?:
We got the new chairs in, I put them at B5, 6, & 7 since they look a little different. And put the wooden ones back in the bathroom hallway.
