Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch was super slow. I'm not really familiar with the flow of business on Tuesdays, except for what I read in the notes, so I wasn't sure what to expect. But at 12:30 I cut Clair because she only had 2.5 tables, and then at 12:45 I went down to just Johnny and Lindsey. I waited and waited for something, but nothing ever happened, so I cut down to just Lindsey at 1:40. Yes, probably a little too late, but I did cut Junko and Mandy around 1:30.

Dinner: Also not much to say for dinner. Sushi bar was dead all night- it only partially filled once, and we went on a small, 5 minute wait around 8:30. I cut Lindsey at 8:45 and cut down to just Kate & Clair at 9:15, then just Clair at 9:30 when only 1 table came in since 9pm. Really mellow. Had two five tops sit in the party room though, I guess that's the redeeming quality of the night. Last guest came in at 9:50 and sat at Sushi bar. Single dude. I think he comes in a bit. I cut Ruthy and Mandy at 9:15 and 9:30, respectively.

Specials?
Poisson Cru: 3
Fried Anchovies: 1
2 cheesecakes but they were birthday cheesecakes.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
Pretty tame day, let's see here...
*Clair does a good job closing- and staying busy in her downtime during dinner.
* Krystin, always in good spirits despite slow business.
*Ruthy- always in a hurry to leave. Needs to focus on slower shifts.

Any VIP's in?
Lunch: Brent our Fav Brands rep, Kaila our Serendipity rep, Regular lunch dude who has been in everyday since Sunday. I think he wants to fill his lunch punch card. he's almost there!
Dinner: Bill Norris, a friend of mine, but also the Beverage director for Alamo Drafthouse. Also the curley haired lady and her husband who is tall. Dang if i can't remember her name. Gretchen? Saw a few other familiar faces, but with no names :(
