Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Really slow lunch. By noon we only had about 6 tables sitting. So by 12:15 I cut Sayo. It was just too slow to have 4 servers on. And then it never got busy. We had 2 six top walk ins, one went in the party room one went to the back B's. But we never filled up. Got somewhat of a pop around 1:15, several of the tables were in a huge rush to get back to work. So maybe they were taking later lunches today? I don't know. But I have a feeling this is how it is going to be for the next week or two during back to school. a bit of unpredictable lunch pops and slower business here and there. After Labor day we will get back into a steady way of business. But until then I think we are going to be on the slower side.


3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
Amanda-new hire- was very helpful in her downtime, helping to bus tables since we didn't have a busser on.

Johnny seemed to get a little behind today, a few too many tables after cuts maybe. I helped him where he need it and he got back on track

Lynn did a great Omakase for S1-2. Really very personable and she was able to get them some great things they really enjoyed.  I gave her $10 Kome bucks because she was the only one that beat the sales goal.


Any VIP's in?
The eye Dr. and his wife were. Another regular who talks to Take a lot (blonde guy) 

Comps& Void Detail:
Had to comp a Go Go Roll- it was left on the sushi card, even though Johnny verified it with the table and the guy said "yes" to it, he then declined it when it was sent out. I will mention to the hosts about double checking the cards and wiping them clean. 

R&M needs?:
The guy from Boyd came today and fixed the fridge. He said that we can't load anything on top of it because it blocks the airflow. Except, he said, put a box fan on top of it or a fan of anytime in order to keep the air circulating back there. Those fridges were meant to work in temps up to 85 degrees but after that it's impossible for them to work if the air is stagnant.

86'd items/ need more?
So the Serendipity order never came yesterday, so I followed up with Kaila's replacement while she is on vacation. he said it looks like the order slipped through the cracks when Kaila was preparing to go out of town, so it will be here tomorrow. Grr...
