Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
This morning got off to a slow start. We never went on wait and we filled up everything except the sushi bar at 12:45pm. We didn't end up staying full, people left and more people didn't really come in so I cut Lindsey at 12:45 but then ended up cutting Clair at 2 anyways. They were both on doubles and probably wanted to get out for a little. Kate closed and Johnny wasn't cut until 1:45, just got give Kate a little help if any last minute diners came in.
Everyone seemed really happy with the revised seating policy. A few regulars who were expecting to have to wait until their joiners arrived were delightfully surprised when we said they could sit down ahead of time, while it was not during peak hours.
Well..tonight.was.slow. With only 32 covers by 7:15pm..By 8pm we were almost full in the restaurant but sushi bar was a ghost town. Between 5 and 8 there was only ONE customer who sat at the sushi bar. Yikes. Ruthy was trying to sell it to everyone who walked in but it was table dining tonight. I went 3 on at 8pm and felt bad becasue the closer, Clair, had only had one table. I decided that the sushi bar was just obviously not going to fill up tonight so instead of giving my usual sushi bar addition of A5 abnd B2, I thought it would only be fair to break into 3 on lunch sections and split the bar 3 ways. This ended up working out great Clair who was about 20 covers behind everyone else was able to catch up with out her getting double or triple sat, and with out cutting too much help. I went 2 on at 8:45 after it really died down and 1 on at 9:35pm.
Specials?
Bento-9
Sake/Hama toro carpaccio-
3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
I could tell Clair was disappointed and upset that she was a double and didn't get a single customer for 2 hours...I know the feeling and as soon as she got her first customer I saw her walk from the back pulling herself together, faking a smile and did a great job not letting any customer know she was upset. Servers tend to wear their heart on their sleeves and Clair did a great job not letting this bad start ruin her night. Kudos.
Mandy is getting quicker at SA. Ixchel is also really succeeding at FR
Any VIP's in?
