Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Pretty slow all day. During lunch one koko roll take longer than a table wanted. I guess they'd gotten and eaten all of their other food. The ticket was only a little over 20 minutes. Cut Joel at 12:35, Sayo at 1:15pm and Krystin at 1:35pm. 

Specials? Ran a bento competition. Kate won. 

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Mandy did very well training today. She focused mainly on learning the computer and interacting with tables. I think Kate let her wander a little too far off at times. Mandy definitely needs to spend some time learning the sushi menu. I think that will be her biggest obstacle. I made a copy of Alex's nigiri primer. I hope her next training shift isn't with a closer and with someone who has been serving at least a year.
-Krystin had a difficult time with her last table. They bombarded her with question about everything from sourcing to brown rice to MSG allergies. She said they continually interrupted each other to ask her these questions. The MSG was the one to really mess her up. She went to the kitchen and got info overload and maybe some conflicting info. She got really overwhelmed and a little emotional. I talked with her after the shift about finding her center in the midst of such chaos. She did pull it together. I don't really fault her. Those people sucked. For all her effort they left her $7 on $49.
-I'd like Kate to have been a little more involved with Mandy's training. Mandy has strong serving work ethic but needs guidance over the particulars of serving at our place. I reluctantly had KAte train her, only because she was the only one even close to being qualified to train out of anyone that was scheduled.

PM workers were on point. Joel did very well over the course of the day.

Any VIP's in?
Alex and her boyfriend came in for lunch. Several lunch regulars. Steve is the older guy that comes and orders the sashimi lunch always. Ben from Contigo came in with a dude I went to college with, Roberto. Roberto is gonna GM a new place that Ben is opening. I forgot the name. KAte and Mike from Easy Tiger.
