Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Good start. We were full by 6:30pm. We kept a short on-and-off wait pace all night. Rolls got backed up a little early on, but no one seemed to be bothered by it. I cut Krystin and Kate at 9pm. Cut Sayo at 9:30pm and Joel at 9:45. There was a woman who came in at the height of dinner wanting to order food to go. Ixchel explained very carefully our policy. The woman, persistent, quickly found the loophole, took at seat at S-1 and proceeded to order $150 worth of sushi... lots of really good nigiri pieces- uni, sake-toro, madai and several botan ebi. It's a shame those things would be fairly sub-par by the time she got them to their destination. I advised Clair to mention our catering tray to her, however she was unable to do so as the woman stayed on her cellphone the entire time, including through the billing process. She left a $20 tip.

Specials?

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):Clair rocked it on the sushi bar. She was busy and occasionally irritated, but kept her composure and was first to beat the sales goal, earning $10 Kome bucks.
Mandy was very helpful today, bussing tables so they could be reset. Rarely did I see her return to the kitchen without an empty plate from a table.
Kate did a great job with the party room. There were a lot of people in there, they spent a lot of money, they split the check up several different ways and all left happy.

Any VIP's in?Kindo-san, Old John, a Sa-Ten employee came in. I didn't get a chance to meet him, but Clair let me know he was here.

Comps& Void Detail: $10 kome bucks to Clair. 10% emp day off discount to Sa-Ten dude. 3 uni nigiri (86'D) 1x aji nigiri (86'd), a seaweed salad Joel forgot to make, Clair had a table mistake sashimi for maki on the sushi card so, 1x maguro and 1x salmon sashimi. Also there was a maguro sashimi still marked on one of her tables cards.

R&M needs?:we could stand to get more wobble wedges.

86'd items/ need more?300ml bottles of dreamy clouds,
