Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Slow start and only really a few good hours of busy-ness. Went on a wait around 7pm and got off the wait at 9:30. We had a LOT of large parties walk in. To start we had an 8 top, then a 7 top, then multiple 5-tops. All of our reservations were no shows, which was really disappointing considering how many large parties we had waiting that really tied our hands. I wish we had some way of working that out. oh well. Got all the parties sat in a timely manner, the evening was without incident. Tables were taken care of and no insanely long ticket times. Dusten forgot to ring 2 nigiri pieces in for B1 at one point, but they seemed okay with not getting them. Sophia had a girl at B3 that was severely allergic to shellfish so the guys behind the sushi bar had to take great care and change their gloves, knives etc. They were here early on during the rush so it wasn't too big of a deal.

At one point as I was walking to the sushi bar expo area, Alex tapped me on the shoulder in time to watch a roach run by me and behind the sushi bar. I am pretty terrified of roaches, I'm sorry. You can say "but Elizabeth, you're the manager you need to take care of these things" but that's where I draw the line. So I just pointed to it and repeated Take's name. He was very busy so he just looked over, and looked back continuing on with his nigiri pieces, So I grabbed Naoto and Naoto Hulk smashed it pretty well. Crisis averted.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
*I told Hiroe she needs to speak louder at tables when delivering food, as well as announcing the specials as what they are. I was with her at B3 dropping food off, and she said "kitchen special 1". I told her that they don't know what that means and she needs to describe what it is. She said okay. With a smile. As usual :)
*Ixchel had great quote times for everyone tonight. Really good job between her and Ruthie
*Mandy held her own as an SA tonight. She was always busy, running around watering tables in her downtime and not giving a second to waste. Super great job by her tonight!!!

Any VIP's in?no familiar faces tonight.

Comps& Void Detail: Voided a few rolls for Sophia who absentmindedly rung them in twice. They were used. Voided a Glass of Meibo, changed mind. Comp'd a Midnight sun for B3 because they never received it. Bought Sophia a glass of wine for translating the dishwasher evals.
