Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
This morning was pretty mellow. I thought because of the weather that we would be busy for ramen but we weren't. We filled up twice maybe but never went on wait and never had sushi bar 100% full. Ticket times were good from both sushi bar and kitchen and everything was coming out in a timely manor.I went 3 on at 12:45pm but once we slowed down I ended up cutting one more 15 minutes after by 1pm. By 1:20 I went one on, Johnny had a semi-full section so I felt confident in that if we were to get a really late pop he would be there to help Sophia, even though I have full trust she can handle the floor.
Plastic in ice cream. Little girl found it seemed to be taken from the edge or rim of the container. They are regulars but still scary that the little girl found this, she asked her mom what it was.We need to be more careful somehow to keep an extra eye out for quality control and issues like this even if it is hiding...everyone just needs to be more aware. Her mom was fine saying they never had any problems before and said it was just an accidental mistake. I apologized a lot but she said not to worry.

 This night started off pretty busy. We had a reso for 12 right at 5pm and another 12 at 7:30pm. Early on we had a lot of families in. Some regulars I haven't seen in a while. Its always 7, the parents, nanny and 4 young kids that all look really really close in age. They're really friendly and wanted the party room but I said it was already reserved. They were happy to get sat with no wait at A1 and A5 together. After their dinner I was talking to them and they dad was saying they just like the room for the sake of everyone else in the restaurant since he knows how hard it is to go out to eat with 4 younger kids but they were all really well behaved. I think they haven't come in a long time either because they LOVED the sushi coloring page too.
This night consisted of lots of big parties pretty much the whole night. A few periods of just 2 tops but over all it was a big party night. We went on and off wait twice or so and immediately got back on. Ruthy and Ixchel were on top of getting drinks and asking questions. Ixchel has mentioned before about cocktail and I can see she is serious and wants to help out whenever she can.
I went 3 on when we finally got off wait at 8:40pm. I waited to go 1 on until 9:30 even though it had slowed down a lot just to get Naoto some help as closer just in case we got a late pop, but we didn't so he took everything in the last 1/2 hour.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
Tonight was pretty busy but I saw everyone helping each other out and when everyone had down time they were cleaning or restocking. I thought there was a lot of positive teamwork tonight.

Ixchel is eager to learn more about the positions we have at Kome. I think she will make a good CT once we get that host beverage tasting (or learning).
