Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch was so very very slow. I don't have much to say about it. I cut Kate at 12:30, and went down to Alex & Lindsey by 1pm, and just Lynn by herself by 1:15, it was that slow. Joe seemed to struggle to get rolls out in a reasonable amount of time today. Also kitchen food was taking a bit longer because of the training going on with jarred, but I think out of all the days to train, today was a good one.

Dinner was also slow. then again I never work Wednesdays so I don't really know. But we never filled up, never went on even the smallest of wait. Cut Alex at 8, then Naoto at 8:30, and split the dining room around 9. Then just down to Sophia at 9:30. Cut all support at 9:45.

I was entering invoices and noticed that none of the beverage invoices have check numbers written on them. Can we please make sure to write the check number on invoices that are being paid?

Specials?
KaniKreme: 4 (count was 7, but 3 were for sushi bar)
Spec Dessert (donuts): 2

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
*Naoto was a great help tonight, in his downtime, always helping bus tables and prebus.
* Ruthy was proactive tonight, putting blinds up, candles out, and fans off, etc.
* Sophia stayed positive through the slow night, helping out where she could and stayed cheerful.

Any VIP's in?
Alyssa I think is her name. Heavier dark haired woman comes in for lunch a lot. We had a very strange interaction- she was staring at me so I went over to make sure everything was okay. She said yes, she just saw me and thought "oh there's that girl again who always stands over there" I explained to her that I'm the manager, so I just kinda float around. Then I asked her name, and she looked at me funny, so I told her my name, and then she told me hers. It was all really odd.

Comps& Void Detail:
Lunch: usual lunch comps. The only other thing I had to comp was a Beef Curry for a guy who didn't know it had beef in it, even after Lindsey repeated it back to him "and you're having the beef curry?"

Dinner: 2 Birthday buzztable promo discounts (10% off), one voided sunshine roll Alex double rang somehow, one voided Kirin 22oz because no one stocked anymore (?!?), one voided House White because we ran out.

R&M needs?:
Chairs should be delivered tomorrow (to replace those that are bending)

86'd items/ need more?
86'd Sencha- I ordered more tea. I will pick it up tomorrow at some point.
