Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
So many emergency flash flood warning signals going off tonight
We started off with a lot of big parties tonight. Since the party room was out of commission we had to relocate all resos to the floor. The Drakos were fine with that, and I was able to explain the situation to the next reso but they were just happy to have a table ready for them!
We stayed consistently with big parties throughout the entire night. There was an hour or two of lots of two tops but the larger groups really stood out tonight. Since we had no SA, I noticed everyone staying on top of prebussing and waters for the entire restaurant. Everyone stayed busy and there was no standing around.
I went 3 on at 9pm and 2 on by 9:30 when we really really slowed down, gave Dusten everything at 10:40
Ticket times were good, we were steady but not slammed so it was a nice balance
Specials?
Blue Gill, 86 after 4
Doughnuts-4
3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
Sayo- who I have noticed doesn't do a lot of her own prebussing normally, did a great job tonight. Usually all that was left was only water glasses, so good job Sayo
I wanted to see the hosts help out more, they knew we were no SA and I was counting on them to help out but they never did it on their own , I felt like I had to hover around them reminding them to reset tables.
Kate seemed a little high strung. She doesn't normally work weekend nights anymore so I think she was trying to figure it out
Any VIP's in?
Comps& Void Detail:
DNL Yakiniku. The guest didn't like it and said it was too chewy I explained this was the cut of beef we used it typically more fatty
Had 2 seperate tables say the yakiniku tasted off tonight, said it was chewy..I brought it to Daniel who said it was fine, just the cut (like I thought) but for 2 different tables to say that...
change mind from karaage to Krokket
Kome bucks
R&M needs?:
...the roof
86'd items/ need more?
I'm pretty sure it wasn't the case but we did incorrectly receive skirt steak in place of hanger from restaurant depot, I believe they were out. again I don't think Shiloh used it but it may be possible she used it for yakiniku. I will look into it.
ReplyDeletealthough skirt steak and hanger beef is same thing parts of beef, vincent, can you taste yakiniku kushi and if you think it's too chewy as customer said, can you stop using the beef?
ReplyDeleteyes I will taste it and determine its quality. I am off until Tuesday though, so I will check it then
ReplyDeleteWhile hanger steak and skirt steak both come from the plate of the cow, they are two very different meats. Hanger steak is incredibly tender and sits on the inside of the cut, while the skirt tends to be tougher and yes, more chewy of the two, and is the outside portion of the cut, hence "skirt'. Just...ya know, information :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the information. The skirt I bought is "inside" of skirt. Hanger steak is both inside and outside of beef skirt.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, if it's too tough, please do not use.
Vincent, restaurant depot don't carry beef hanger by package sometimes. Please get enough beef from Sysco. Thank you
