Any Special events going on?: day one of our 3-day 3-year anniversary extravaganza

PM: Jason, Camacho, Joel Godines, Krystin, Miho, Stephanie CL, Amanda H, Hiroe FR, and Kaori SA

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Lunch started out strong. We averaged about a cover per minute for the first hour. And predictably enough, most of them cleared out just as suddenly. From then on, only a few tables came in every so often. I cut Joel at 12:45 and Krystin at 1pm. Sayo cut at 1:35p.
Dinner was relatively tame compared to the last couple of weeks. Slow start. We didn't fill up until nearly 8pm. I cut Krystin and Joel at 8:45p, Miho at 9pm. We had a couple of 5-tops walk in and Stephanie, because her section was so slow I let her take both of them. As a precaution I kept Camacho on until nearly 9:40.

Specials? 18 bentos, 13 "smoking sashimi" (actually hama-toro/sake-toro carpaccio).

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): No stellar or sub-par performances today. No significant flub ups. I hate to single anyone out for good reasons, because everyone did well today. I make it a point to help the support staff maximize their efficiency on the floor. In that respect, Jason, Kaori and Mandy are all showing fairly steady signs of improvement. But Hiroe and Junko are totally bosses on the floor and know what their doing... so yeah.

Any VIP's in? Anthony, his girlfriend and their new baby came in for lunch. Sabine also. My good friend Krystal's husband Ian came in for lunch. I shot their wedding years ago. She owns Crave Chocolate and they're working on opening a restaurant of their own. I forget where he works. He's a chef somewhere.

Comps& Void Detail: FNF for Sabine and Ian. Take bought Anthony's lunch- owner comp for that one. 2x bday desserts, both cheesecakes. Sunshine roll void (misring).

R&M needs?:
