Any Special events going on?: UT v. BYU

Who worked?:Lindsey, Naoto, Sophia, Joel, Dusten CL. Mandy/Ixchel Hosted, Jason SA, Hiroe FR

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
To start, Mandy broke a candle holder and I broke the oil incense thing in the ladies bathroom...all over myself.  The fan in the ladies room was making the worst sound ever as well. Then a child first thing knocked a soy sauce container on the floor and soy sauce went everywhere. That's how the night started...

Now onto the rest of the evening: We were on a wait by 6:15 and stayed busy until about 9pm when the wait dwindled down. Still, though, we were on a wait until about 9:45. I did cut Mandy early around 9 though, since it was a slow enough wait that Ixchel could handle it on her own. I cut Naoto around 9:00, and then cut Lindsey around 9:30 and went down to just Sophia and Dusten at 10pm. I was waiting until 10 to see if we got anything from the UT game letting out but tables were few and far in between. Cut down to just Dusten at 10:40. One more table came in after that. The 10pm hour was a small trickle of tables. The rest of the night was slow and steady. We did have a big push around 8pm at which point the wait got up to 45 minutes, but it fizzled shortly after that and we were on a consistent 20 minute wait.

Put a request in for ice but they didn't show until after 9pm so I had to send Jason to the store, so there was a $12 payout from the safe.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
Lindsey was a tremendous help tonight- watering tables, and making ginger/wasabi trays when we ran out at 9pm. Super helpful superstar tonight!

EVERYONE was selling the shit out of the specials, so much so we 86'd both of them!! Great job to everyone for that!

Ixchel did a great job on her first solo weekend. Both her and Mandy worked well together. It's great to see such a strong host team! Looking forward to getting Diana on board this week/end

Any VIP's in?The Drako family, Phil & Phyllis and friends

R&M needs?:
The front door keeps slamming closed, no matter how many times we tighten it. I have Rodrigo checking it out tomorrow, as well as taking down the frame boards up front.
The Safe has new batteries! Shouldn't have a problem with it now.
And like I said, the fan in the ladies bathroom. It never did make the horrible noise after we opened and after Vince bought the WD40, but now we have it so if anything is squeaking, so ahead and throw some Dub-D on it.

86'd items/ need more?
Next Restaurant Depot trip or Sysco order we need cocktail straws please.
