Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Clair came into the office and asked if there were any parties this morning because she has friends from out of town coming in. I told her no and that was the end of our conversation but she was insinuating she wanted to put them in the party room, I told her to let me know. Fast forward, lunch started out slow, we took a while to get some tables in. Party room was empty. I look up from the server station and 8 people were sitting in a combined B6, 7 & 8. I went to Clair and she said that was her friends she was talking about. Mind you, the restaurant is only 1/2 full and party room is empty with no potential parties. I told her she made it apparent that she wanted to give her friends the party room, not her section and she said she was sorry if she was unclear. Frustrated, I explained it isn't OK to do this. If we have the accommodating space then we will use it. It would be a different issue if the party room was in use, but it wasn't. I told her it wouldn't be fair if everyone had their own friends come in large groups and take up their own sections to get tips etc. unacceptable and snakey.
Today was overall pretty mellow, we almost filled up but never did, but we had a steady flow of tables. I cut to 3 at 1:30, 2 at 2 and 1 at 2:30. I was nervous we were going to get some last minute tables but we never did so thats good


3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Joaquin was good at prebussing today, when each table left the only things left on their tables were water glasses and thats it...Although he ordered a lot of food today he left
-Lindsey is a very thorough closer
-Ruthy is doing well

Any VIP's in?
