Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:

Started out okay. Had the 12 top reso for 6pm in. Initially I thought it was going to be tough, since I spoke with her on the phone earlier in the  week and she was very specific about the menu she emailed, talking about what should hit the table and when. But I think we coursed it out for her really well, and to her liking. They left happy and with plenty of time to seat the 8pm reso. As far as what was going on in the dining room, things remained mellow until 7pm then we started filling up and went on a wait at 7:30. But at was short lived and we were off the wait by 8:30. I cut Lindsey at 8:40 as well as Alley, who ended up being able to come in from Sa-ten.  then I  cut Johnny at 8:45, since his entire section cleared out. At 9pm I cut Sophia since she had only 2 tables sitting still. And at 9:30 I went down to 2, since no new tables were coming in and it was really, really starting to clear out. Tables came on one every 15 minutes. By 9:45 the sushi bar was empty and there were only 8 tables on the restaurant so I cut down to just Dusten. He only got about 4-5 more tables after that as the night came to a lull.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): 

*Camacho was doing a great job pre-bussing his section. Every time a table left all I saw was glassware

* Sophia was very proactive about bleaching the mugs since we couldn't on Wed night. and She also took initiative to wipe down the shelf on the asahi/hot sake cart, since she said a lot of those mugs were sticky. Great initiative!!
*Johnny did a great job handling the party room and the B's. I was a little apprehensive at first, but he did a great job.

Any VIP's in? 

Two couples that I talk to every single time but never retain their name.

Comps& Void Detail: 

Dusten had a table at S6 order a tonpei yaki, and and age dashi tofu the tofu came out but then there was a little more lag after that and when Dusten dropped the check they mentioned that they never got it. When I looked for it Daniel said it was just run. Sure enough it was. And it had only been 25 minutes. Granted, it was 25 minutes and that was entirely too long, but in any case. They ate it and I compd it to server error since I didn't feel it was a kitchen error. (Sorry Dusten) 

Voided Glass rihaku dance of discovery, no one stocked it so we didn't have it. 

Voiced Kome fries, not made 

R&M needs?: instead of getting another lock for the ladies room, can we just buy a knob that locks?

86'd items/ need more?

I called HK and left a message. I felt the propane tanks and they are indeed empty. Make sure hosts aren't turning on the tanks in the morning, I think maybe that's why? Otherwise i have no idea how we went through that much propane in that little of time.
