Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Lunch felt slow. We got a pop around noon that lasted till just after 1pm. No wait aside from incomplete parties and no fuss about it from anyone. Cut Krystin and Joel around then. Sayo at 1:30. No significant ticket times outside the norm.

Dinner also started very slow. we only had about 4-5 tables by 6:30 but 30 minutes later we were at capacity and on wait. The wait lasted until nearly 9pm. I cut Krystin and Kate then. I cut Joel at 9:15 and then went to just Clair at 9:35pm.

Specials? apple pie gyoza, iwashi katsu

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): All the doubles today were troopers. Krystin, Joel and Kate never gave me a single problem. Kate on occasion will come to me with a situation I know she is perfectly capable of handling. I think I now understand she just uses me as a sounding-board for her thoughts. She had the party room tonight with one group that was mainly little female human-larvae who I'm told were just precious. Everyone in ear-shot had a good chuckle at their high-pitched singing of happy birthday. Krystin was obviously wiped out by the time she left. She has complained of ongoing back issues but also told me she has a doctor's appointment to address them. Joel is still trucking along as I am typing. If I may add one more person to the list, Kaori did very well tonight. I've never seen a more gracious pre-busser towards our guests. She really cracks me up. And she is only getting faster/more efficient.

Any VIP's in? My friend Sabine came in with some co-workers for lunch. It was her b-day. The little old dude that comes in and orders the sashimi lunch. A couple of other familiar faces. There's one guy that comes in for lunch regularly and usually orders udon. He always requests "no inari" and makes it almost sound like a threat. Today he ordered sushi, a tarantula roll. Anyways I gave him a hearty "thank you sir. have a good afternoon," and didn't even get so much as a sideways glance. At least he enjoys our food, even if not basic human pleasantries.
Rachel and a friend came in for dinner.. The owner of Hausbar Farm came in solo. Sao's sister came in with a friend. There were other familiar faces. One of them told me, "everything was delicious, as always."

Comps& Void Detail: cheesecake for Sabine's b-day. Kate and Krystin both earned $10 kome bucks by selling at least 5 bento boxes.B-day dessert apple pie gyoza. I misrang a moriawase putting in employee orders. there was a poisson cru misring. Kate won another $10 Kome bucks by being the first to beat the sales goal despite having only one party of mainly munchkins. Anothe misring... miso soup.

R&M needs?:
