Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Interesting sort of day. Interesting sort of weekend, really. Just an interesting myriad of people that have come into the restaurant. We filled up around 12:45 but that was the only pop of the day we got. It cleared out around 1:30. I held on to everyone until after 2 just to see what would happen, if we would get a second pop, but it never came. So I cut down to Alex & Clair at 2:15 and then just Alex at 2:50. Flow of business was steady the last hour but cleared out 15 minute before close.

I got a new allergy question today. Sodium Nitrates. I googled it, and then Daniel and I looked on the Tonkotsu package and saw that it had it in it. But I have never heard of that one before. Maybe it's the new Gluten. Sodium Nitrates, for anyone wondering, is a preservative commonly used in curing meats or preserving foods for longer periods of time than originally intended. :)





Around 12:45 the power went out in the entire building. I quickly got a flashlight and went to the breaker box and flipped it back on. I text Patrick and he came out to look at it. He assured me it wasn't the new fan we just installed over the door. He felt the box and it was hot. he said it could have just overheated from too many things popping on at the same time. Keep an eye on it. We need to put a small fan back there to keep the breaker box from getting too hot. IF the power does go out again. Turn a few things off (lobby fan, some lights etc) and give it a minute before flipping the breaker back on. The reason the breaker flips is because there are metal panels inside the box. When they get too hot, they start to seperate and that is what triggers the breaker. If you try to flip it on too soon, the panels haven't had time to cool down and thus it will not work. Which is why we need the fan back there, to help circulate the air and more it around. Any questions?


3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Joaquin stayed busy throughout his shift today. Glad to see
-Alex was very helpful to the staff
-Joel was watering tables in his downtime.
I had a great convo with Kate today too- She loves working the Mon-Thurs 3 on lunches and the busy-ness that comes with it, and she is very happy here. :)

Any VIP's in?
