Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Tonight was great. We were busy but it wasn't a stressful night at all. Everyone seemed to have good tables and have a good routine with all of them. I corrected Sayo during the shift because I noticed her walking by the sushi bar each time and not checking to see if she had food up. I saw her not consolidating her steps and making a lot more work for herself going past sushi bar, going on the floor, coming back to get stuff that was already ready then going back. I saw her trying to correct this I think she was set in this way and saw her kind of struggling to break this habit but she was making a concious effort. Maybe send her a reminder if you see it slipping back into habit.
Other than that everyone was working well together. Jason seemed down again today (maybe tired on his double) but didn't ask once about cuts or sections (yay) even though I didnt cut him until 10pm. I went 3 on at 10pm, 1 on at 10:45. We were on a wait by 7pm but then had a lull between 7:30 and 7:45(?) where there was 15 minutes off wait and no new customers..but that quickly changed to being back on wait.
Specials?

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
Sashimi sales were awesome tonight. Sales goal was $1337 and I think now starting out really focusing on getting staff aware of sashimi sales, 10% of sales goal is a good place to start (for now..soon increase) I but sashimi sales at over$130 but they had to sell 3 doughnut orders to qualify...and you know what happened? We 86'd doughnuts (i think because we ran out of chocolate or strawberries) AND every server sold a Large Sashimi tonight, super cool! Joel and Dusten won selling the 3 doughnuts along with the +$130 in sashimi, good job

We were on wait and mandy sat an incomplete party (ended up finding out they were her friends) joiner didn't come for 15 min after being sat. I explained to her our policy no matter if they're friends or not everyone has to be complete when we are on wait or during peak hours, she understood
