Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
AM: Incredibly slow lunch today and I'm not sure why. We never filled up, never  even had a full sushi bar. I waited until 1:30 just to make sure, then I went down to 2, and then Just Stephanie at 2:30. It was incredibly slow. The only incident that occurred was a woman found a hair not only in her ginger and wasabi set up but also the diakon in her Hama toro bowl. Looked like dog hair to me. Ya know the kind I mean? Just, a short, black dog hair. Who knows. But I did comp the Hama toro and the edamame for the embarrassment. Other than that, no incidents.

Dinner: Dinner was a whole different ball game! We went on a wait at 6:30 and didn't get off the wait until 9:15. Had a few large parties walk in: 6, 8, and a 6. Plus the usual crowd of 2's and 4's. The wait time was running about 30 minutes, except for this one group that got quoted 30 but waited 50. They were super nice and understanding about it. I brought them some Miso Soups as soon as they sat and some edamame as well. Other than that, no incidents. Smooth and healthy evening!

here's a fun story though: this guy comes in asking about to-go and we tell him we don't do to-go. He said he works for Favor, a food deliver company, and he has a client that wants this. I told him I was real sorry but he was going to have to be the bearer of bad news and tell them that we don't do to-go. Felt so bad for the guy. Cool concept. bad execution. Though...I kinda want to try it one of these days when I'm craving Homeslice.  (they don't deliver...they DO do to-go though) ;)

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
Sayo kept a very well kept section tonight. Great prebussing
Also same goes for Krystin- fantastic prebussing and a table compliment as well!
Camacho seemed a little off tonight. Not sure what it was, but I can see what Cameron was saying about Friday night.

Note to Kayo: I overheard Jason SA saying to Hiroe that he wasn't going to sit down with you on a one on one because he might end up saying things that he didn't necessarily mean. And that instead he is going to email you. Just something I heard while typing my notes in the office :)

Any VIP's in?

Lunch, the aforementioned items.

R&M needs?:
ABC came by today but I don't know what they were repairing. I thought they were spraying for bugs, but it was a plumber. The next time we have someone scheduled out can someone let me know what for and why?

Also, we did the vinegar wash on the tables, followed by the murphys wash. We stacked the chairs next to the sushi bar to allow ample overnight time for them to dry. Honestly, they still feel sticky. I felt one that dried. Someone suggested adding baking soda to the vinegar, but I told them to try it this way first. I didn't see much of a difference after all that though, to be honest. Kayo, you can be the judge.

Text Rodrigo to come this week and take down the bamboo blinds. I think all of the heat is over with.
