Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Tonight started off pretty slow...well slow for a Saturday night. We didn't get full or go on wait until around 8pm. Our wait also only lasted until 10pm. With in that 2 hour wait it ,mostly consisted of 4 tops and some 3. I had a girl com inside to be sat and she said how much she LOVED the new outside area! Its great I think it utilizes the space so nicely and you can comfortably fit so many more people.
Tonight seemed a lot like last night. We went off wait and by 10 we had no new tables for a while but as soon as I cut we had about 5 or 6 new tables walk in. It wasn't as bad as last night where we actually filled 100% back up but it was still funny how that happens. I was still 2 on so it was fine no one got in the weeds because of it. Over all a good, steady shift. I cut to 3 on at 9:45pm. 2 on at 10:15.

Both sushi bar and kitchen had gotten backed up due to all the large orders being put in all at once, but despite that all other ticket times were coming out at good times, it didn't seem to back up the other tickets which was good.
A dad was taking his teenage girls out for dinner tonight. They said they're from Austin but this is their first time at Kome. The dad was really funny he said he did his research and told his daughters this was a "really hip place" and I reassured them. They all said they had a great time and after we got done talking I showed them the party room also saying its really fun for bdays or graduations or anything. After a slew of squeals and pleads the dad said that the room is great and they will be back very soon.

Our second reso of the night was here to splurge and here to eat. They ordered in waves of only sushi bar to only kitchen items which slammed both kitchens then let them recover, and then slam them again. They traveled far to be here for their friends birthday but were very pleased with the food and Dusten did a great job taking care of them.

Kitchen needs to be careful with running food towards the end of the night. There was an employee yakiniku meal that was just made and a then a ticket that just came in for yakiniku and the food was ran to the table but it seemed like it was made in under a minute..... the table didn't complain at all but that would just seem strange for me to receive my food so quick..so just a note.

iwashi-2

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
Ixchel seemed to have an off day. She dropped some tartar sauce right by B1 (not on anyone) but it was really slippery. She also got behind in FR nd I had to have many help her drop off a tray of stuff so she wouldn't get behind. Normally she is on her A-game but something was up tonight..maybe just tired? Hopefully this isn't a repeating trend.

Alex seemed off today also, she mentioned about some personal things she was going through but I saw her trying not to let it effect her performance. Shes off the next 2 days and I hope she figures her stuff out and comes back 100%

Jason seemed to be quicker working sushi bar than last night. Seemed to have found his rhythm tonight.
