Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Took a little while to get a good business in here tonight. Finally filled up around 7:15 and went on a wait. There were a lot of 2-tops in tonight. Nearly the majority of our waitlist was 2-tops actually. Had 2 resos on the books that were on time and timely throughout the evening. Had a walk in 6-top and walk in 8-top. No one waited more than 45 minutes. Ticket times were good, with the exception of a derailment of some rolls that occurred around 9:15- Johnny had a ticket with a sunshine, crunchy dynamite and rock-n-roll on it, but Kazu made a sunshine, crunchy dynamite and an austin roll. Johnny presented it to his table, but luckily they noticed the mistake and sent it back. Kazu made the right rolls. Then during that same period I think Dusten's S4 ticket got lost, it was for a Sunshine, Crunchy Dynamite and a Superfly roll. So S4 ended up waiting about 45 minutes for their rolls. I bought them a carafe of hot sake and they were fine.

Another little hiccup came right towards close. after 10pm it was employee meal last call, so the kitchen got a lot of employee tickets, but then also got hit pretty hard on the fry station, resulting in a 20 minute iwashi nanban and 25 minute donut. Not horrible and on one was upset, but just stating the facts.

Cuts didn't happen until 10pm since we were on a wait until then. As soon as we got off the wait I cut Mandy, and went down to just Joel and Dusten. The only new table that came in was A8 and it was for Joel

Got our first Sip, Slurp, Sushi receipts. FYI: we have extended this promo throughout the month of Oct

Also, another cross promo that we are doing right now: Kayo has made flyers to hand out at check drop. Her staff at Sa-Ten will be hanging on to all redeemed coupons. The staff here will be writing their employee number on the back of them when they hand them out. Whoever gets the most redeemed wins $50 to Parkside!! Encourage the staff please.



Specials?
Apple Pie Gyoza
Donuts
Iwashi Nanban

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
Everyone did a great job of teamwork tonight
*Johnny did a great job of running sidework throughout the shift, helping unload glass racks, etc.

*Sayo was helping to bus her own tables when she had downtime, in order to turn them faster

*Despite their newness, Mandy and Diana worked really well together. They're still both very new and throwing them into a Friday night could have been bad, but it wasn't! Mandy really owns the host stand and Diana was the gopher tonight and was doing well- needs a little direction.

Any VIP's in?
The Westlakes (Amy & husband), Randsom and David
