Any Special events going on?: 

Who worked?:Kate, Johnny, Sophia, Lynn CL, Junko H, Kaori FR and Jonathan SA

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:It was a good lunch. We actually went on a short wait for a little while. All food seemed to go out in a very timely manner with no hiccups. We seemed to have a bit more than just your typical in and out lunch crows. A few business meetings. A group of six in the back, a reservation for 12 in the party room... all looked work-related groups to me, but perhaps those who could spend a little more time eating than rushing back to be in the office again. Upper management type folks is what I'm getting at.

Specials? 8 Bento

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): -Jonathan is getting a bit more efficient. I still helped clear a few things when we had the party room and other tables leave also. I gave him a few pointers of prioritizing his responsibilities. 
-I'd never expect Lynn to have a problem she couldn't handle and today was no exception.
-There were some things left undone by our closer last night or at least the last ones out. An untouched Surf and Turf and chicken Kara-age. I guess they were unclaimed so no one picked up and cleaned the party room. Johnny also mentioned the server station under the wine glasses was in rough shape this morning. I believe Sophia was the closer?


Any VIP's in?The GM-to-be on Bun Belly (or Belly Bun?) next door came in to eat. I talked with her briefly about having a sign made. There were some other faces I knew.

Comps& Void Detail:Voided a seaweed salad for Johnny- misring. I voided a small sencha for Lynn- also a misring.

R&M needs?:We got the propane tanks in today. I locked them up behind the building. They were $50 each, but as we do only refills from now on they'll be $19 each... I think is what he said.

86'd items/ need more? We continually ran out of tea cups and coffee mugs today. I went out to the trailer and found some of those sketchy black cups we stopped using. They worked in a pinch but we should get some back ups for these types of cold weather days.
Diet coke.... not 86'd but he have no more that Kate could.
Also Junko says we need more crayons.
