Any Special events going on?: Case of the Mondays

Who worked?:Lunch: Kate CL, Clair and Sayo. Hiroe FR, Joaquin SA and Sarah hosting.
Dinner: Jason Camacho, Kate Dbld, Clair Dbl and Joel. Kaori FR, Joaquin SA and Lina hosting.

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Lunch was steady. We were close to full before noon. I don't feel like we got much of a pop at all, but tables continued to come in. Kate said she wasn't feeling great so I hesitated to make cuts too early. I cut Clair close to 1:15pm. Gave Kate an Emergen-C and she snapped out of it. Had an order of gyoze get burnde by the kitchen but the table wasn't put off by having to wait for a new order to be made.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): Sayo beat the individual sales goal for lunch.
Joaquin had some hustle in his step today. He kept the floor looking nice. It seems obvious because of his youth it may be on us to help him develop his work ethic. That being said I've told him he needs to never not be in motion. I also gave him some extra things to do, like raising the blinds on the window at A2, A3 and A4 as well as making sure the tea lights are lit during the blue hour. I had to remind him to make sure the dishwashers are aware of the glass racks being full.
I watched Jason a bit tonight with his tables. He hustles but also is very personable. More so than I am comfortable with, but I feel the rapport he attempts to establish is an important example for newer servers to observe when it comes to welcoming new guests.

Any VIP's in? Moto came in towards the end of lunch.
Dinner: Moonshine owner again... I hope he doesn't get burned out on us! Jason's old Kitchen manager at The Boiling Pot at S10 who now works at the W. Kazu's roommate who works at Dojo. Several other familiar faces.

Comps & Void Detail: Kome bucks discount to Sayo for beating the sales goal. Thinkery 21 discount. FNF discount for Moto. Hair found a roll at dinner- guest was very level-headed. Gave them 20% off ticket. Tonight's smoking sashimi was priced at the Tsukiji Carpaccio rate. Corrected a misring for Camacho and Miho. SIN discount for Moonshine owner. SIN for Jason's friend at S10. SIN for Kazu's roommate.

R&M needs?:Patrick came by at the beginning of dinner and tried to make sense of the breaker situation. We looked over Daniel's notes. Without fully knowing everything that is connected and was running off the offending breaker, he couldn't determine exactly where the fault was. He did mention that the breaker box is too hot. We borrowed a fan from the kitchen and pointed it at the breaker box. He said he was concerned with the power loss to the entire building that happened during lunch yesterday and thought that the heat on the box was a likely cause. As far as the breaker that tripped up last night he said he'd be back to look over the fan he installed to pinpoint the problem. He mentioned coming back in the morning when the kitchen guys arrive but wasn't clear on the specific day.

86'd items/ need more? Chairs for the lobby. If we have a reservation in the party room and anything larger than another 5 top walk in, we are basically playing musical chairs. I thought we'd have to use some of the stools from outside.
