Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Tonight started off like any typical Friday night. We filled up and went on wait by 7pm. We had a no show party of 7 at 7. We called and tried to get a hold of them but there was no answer. We had another party of 12 that made another reservation last minute for 9pm which worked out well.
We started out with a bunch of 2 tops for the first few hours of wait but towards the end larger parties filled the room. At one point there were about six 3+ tops waiting. We stayed on wait until 10pm. We got our last tables before 10:35pm and then it started emptying out a lot. It was busy tonight but everyone had a good rhythm to what they doing. Sushi bar and BOH had great ticket times and although the servers had full sections the whole time, they stayed busy but weren't overwhelmed. It seemed like all the guests were great too, no one was super needy or had anything to complain about! it was awesome.
I did have 3 different tables complain that their kitchen food was dry, all around the same time. I remade a tori teba. I talked to Vince, and we tried it, it wasn't as moist as normal but it wasn't as DRY as the customer made it seem. Problem was recovered and there were no more issues revolving it.

Specials?
Macha strawberry cheesecake
Ceviche
Crab bechemel Krokke
doughnuts

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
*Sophia did great on closing and working sushi bar.

*Lindsey was good at managing her time as CT she helped out the host stand when I had cut Krystin. Since it was raining she didn't have too much going on, but she was still productive. I need to remind her/closer needs to remind her, to rotate beers when she is restocking.

*Jason was very protectivbe over the water faucet..it becoame SUPER broken and he wanted to make sure no one was using it becasue no one knew how to turn it off!

Any VIP's in?

R&M needs?:
rainy days=cockroaches? I killed one roach on the sushi bar expo when it was empty. It was scary and took all my might not to scream, but I got him..no one saw either too which was good...still gross
Joel killed one on the wall in the back B's, I don't think anyone saw that either, thank god. I know its inevitable but is there a pest person we could get to come out maybe?
