Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Wow, what another slow night for a weekend. Early on we got slammed right at opening with 2 six tops, The Drakos (10top) and a reso 6 or 7. That opening seemed to set a tone for the first couple hours. We were pretty steady and on wait. A lot of tables were lingering more than normal again, I am thinking because of the cold again, or everyone was just enjoying themselves with good people, good food, and good service :)
Anyways we had a good couple pops. We went off wait at maybe 7:30 but got back on again. I had a working interview/stage today. I think he did well considering he was a little awkward/shy and he had never worked in a restaurant before ever. He was the kid who was living in Japan. Anywhoo I thought it would be a good idea to have him stage on a busy weekend night so see if hes even up for it, some people are cut out for it. He stayed busy while trying to stay out of the servers way, he took and followed direction very well and didn't run away when it was busy or cry, so yay. Everyone starts in this industry somewhere and I feel like he has the right diligence and attitude to do well...after some practice. I jumped right into watering tables and resetting them also. He was quick to follow direction but timid still. I have him coming in Tuesday PM on a slow night to see how he does.
Over all what a slow slow night, definitely reflected from last night too. We started out strong but died early on. I'm curious if this is a cold raining thing or how winters at Kome are. Those late night crowds that we used to see in the summer are nonexistent now. Anyways, my cuts were similar to last night also.I went 3 on 8:30pm and 2 on at 9:15..? maybe even earlier! It was dead! We had a couple last minute/last hour tables wander in but for the last hour there was nothing new. Ticket times were good although I know how busy we were in the first hour, other than that everything was steady.


Specials?
apple pie gyoza-5
poisson cru-4

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
Its funny how a few weeks ago we were talking about Naoto always responding to a direction with a question, like "why?" why this what can't we do that...etc, well He has stopped which is heavenly..but Joel has taken it upon his duty to fulfill that these questions be asked..Thanks Joel! He is just confident he is doing everything right but also lazy and questions anything different...

Miho misunderstood or emails and scheduling and came in thinking she was CT tonight but realized her mistake and immediately switched to server mode. She is never later or has the history in doing so, so when she was "late" server late, I knew there had to be some sort of confusion somewhere. Anyways we got on the same page and everything worked its self out.
Any VIP's in?

Comps& Void Detail:

DNL on a seven sinners glass...We all know we have had that wine for awhile and this was the last of it...it was spoiled and Sophia's customer got it. She was fine and I tasted it, it was defiantly bad.
