Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Tonight was great. We were busy and on a full wait by 6:30. We stayed on a consistent full wait by 10pm. It was go time and everyone was ready. It seemed like something was wrong with Jason (server) he was acting very strange the whole night..maybe he was tired from working this morning I'm not too sure. I tried asking if everything was ok but he didn't say much...Sayo struggled a little but in the beginning..She fell behind a little bit and a parfait threw her off which I was able to help her with. She just needed to gather her thoughts in order. I noticed she doesn't ask for help unless she absolutely needs it, never if it may help her get ahead a little bit like getting set ups or waters which I told her its ok to ask for just so she doesn't fall completely behind trying to rush and remember everything. After that she was fine and hung in there for a busy Friday night shift.

Joel got triple sat when we were on wait because his whole section got up at once. The host tried to stagger as best as they could for him, but it still was busy. I found Jason SA wiping down plates saying Joel asked him for help. I look into the dining room and see 4 tables dirty and not set up, we are on a 15 party wait and waters are not full. I told Jason, and Joel, setting tables are part of Jason's responsibility. If he needs help setting up tables with wasabi/ginger etc then I can help but he cant pull Jason to be in the server station to do that and have him off the floor when we are on such a long wait..

I went 3 on at 9:45pm with full sections and 1 on at 10:45pm. After the first cut we really slowed down. We only had one new customer come in at 10:20ish. It was crazy having such a full shift then having every single customer out of the restaurant by 10:50pm! Pretty cool.

Specials?
Ceviche -15
Iwashi-3
Smoking sashimi-15
doughnuts-9

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
Sayo got in the weeds a little bit. She gets quite when she is focused so I have to ask if she needs help, she won't ask all the time yet.
Joel and Jason as stated above.

Any VIP's in?
