Any Special events going on?: last day of tax free shopping...dare I go after work?

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
We filled up pretty quick, as is normal on Sundays. Had a walk in 9 top in addition to our already 9top reso right at noon. The horseshoe section got full first, then the back A's then finally the back B's. The party room kept Alex occupied while the sushi bar was empty. All of lunch was steady. I set a contest: Must sell 4 to get in: bubbles of any kind (Cava, Prosecco or Momo) but no one won. Alcohol is a pretty hard sell here and I'm just not sure why.
The staff was constantly moving during service today, which was good. Had a guy find a tiny piece of plastic in the tofu teishoku. Looks like it came from a cracked container. He was super cool about it, I brought him a new one, and apologized profusely. When they were leaving he said thank you again and told me I handled it with grace. A very much appreciated compliment, considering the last guest that found something in their food I got reamed out on Yelp about it.
We went on a wait around 12:45 and stayed on a short wait until about 1:45. I cut down to 2 at 2pm and Alex & Kate rocked it from there. Not a whole lot happened after 2:30 though. Lots of 5 tops in again today. Not sure what it is about lately but we have had a lot of larger groups in. 


3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
Jason- at one point was standing in the service station, with his hands on a glassrack that needed to be put up, but not doing anything. I asked if he could take care of the glasses instead of holding the rack. he said sure, he was just assessing the dining room. He flakes out sometimes I swear.

Alex was a great team player today, helping bus and prebus outside her section

Jersey was pumping out Ramen like a rockstar. Had the 2 9-tops sit at the same time and he was able to handle 9 ramens with ease. Can we keep him, ma!? Can we!?


Any VIP's in?
creepy eyes guy and his daughter (I should learn his name), Jersey's wife

Comps& Void Detail:
2 nigiri peices, kitchen long ticket time on a saba so we bought him some pieces since he was sitting at sushi bar.
Tofu Steak- Long ticket time comp but it was because the only one applicable to the plastic in the tofu was that (in that it related to the kitchen)
Voided a maine root- guest changed mind
voided an uni- see below.

R&M needs?:
Just need to get that fan installed in the prep area. 

86'd items/ need more?
About some 86 items- Joel rang in an Uni, and he said that it needed to be voided because it was 86'd and that the sushi bar didn't know it was 86'd until someone rang it in. Do you think we would be able to check the fish and get an accurate 86 on items before the shift starts?
