Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch was ssslllooowww. Even our noon pop wasn't much. We nearly filled up, but not for long. A steady trickle of tables after. I cut Amanda at 12:30, Joel at 1pm, Sayo at 1:35.
Dinner was definitely more lively. Nothing too crazy though. No big tables. Lots of couples. We filled up around 7pm and stayed on a pretty steady wait until about 8:30. By that time Mandy was visibly exhausted and I cut her. We stayed full and had a few parties that would occasionally have to wait a short while. I cut Joel at 8:45pm and Camacho at 9:15pm. No complaints on ticket times. Kitchen didn't seem to get hit nearly as hard as yesterday. Toshi and crew were steadily cranking out the sushi goodness.

Specials?6 bento, 7 smoking sashimi, 11 poisson cru

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Prebussing was in full effect during lunch. I saw everyone carrying armloads of dirty dishes away from their tables. Shouldn't we be using trays? Isn't that a point of finer service? Anyways. No one stood out as bad or exemplary during lunch. No complaints. 
-Megan did very well tonight. A little shaky, but wait time quotes were on point. I stayed with her and gave her some pointers and coaching on super important things like how to sell the sushi bar when I am working.
 -Kaori was great tonight. Super quick. I couldn't beat her to any table to bus or reset.
-Joel had a hard time picking up his checks off of his tables so I helped him... and then hid them in a place he wouldn't find until he was doing his side work. I told him next time they'll be harder to find.

Any VIP's in? Lunch: Marco of Daruma came in for lunch. Rachel. Some regulars. 
Dinner: some industry folks that Joel Knew. Not too many familiar faces. New opportunities for good first impressions!

Comps& Void Detail:void seaweed salad. we ran out. Employee day off for Marco. FNF for friends of Kate. SIN for Lucky Robot folks.

R&M needs?:

86'd items/ need more? I ordered more Coffee today. Their minimum for delivery is 10lbs. I guess that's why Elizabeth always went to pick it up. We miss you Elizabeth. We'll have lots of coffee when you get back.
Still no Sapporo. Whoever brings the East Ciders says they're out and will bring them when they have it.
