Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch: Slow all day. Slow to start, all of the tables filled up around 1pm, but sushi bar was still bare. Not much going on so I cut down to just Johnny and Jason at 1:25. Not much to report on really. Until of course 2:35 rolled around and a 7 top, 5 top and 4 top all walked in. I assisted Jason and Johnny with some things and Johnny ended the shift with the highest sales, over $900!!

Dinner:

Went on a wait at 7pm. Came off the wait at 8:30. It was pretty short, but felt a bit intense with everyone huddled in the lobby. Those damn heat lamps still not working. Luckily the wait didn't last long. I guess, not luckily, but still. 

Cut Sophia at 8:30, Lindsey at 8:50, Cut Dena at 8pm and Ally at 9pm. Went down to just Dusten at 9:30pm with 3 tables in the restaurant. Cut Hiroe and Jason SA at 10:15. There were only four 2-tops in the restaurant, so I figured I could help in whatever capacity. The last hour and a half came down to a slow crawl. Had 4 tables come in after 9pm and they were all two tops.

A8 ordered some chicken wings but sent them back because they had red in them- the chicken itself was cooked but the blood clots had busted...Vince or Jersey if you want to elaborate. 

Had an issue with an order of clams at B5- it was a preparation issue more than anything. Half the order didn't open. I sent them back and Vince tried to re cook them in a pan but they still never opened, so he just cooked them a new order.

Specials?

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
*Naoto was helping out in other sections tonight, pre busing and watering.
*Krystin was super helpful putting glassware away
*Miho, of all people (because she was the CT and had $100 in sales) helped like a rockstar, and even after she was done she helped Ally make kiddy chopsticks.

Any VIP's in?

Comps& Void Detail:
Void large kanbara Sophia- guest changed mind

DNL comp

Void Shrimp Temp- Sub Moriwase for Dusten's 20.
Kome Bucks for Sophia, Kome Bucks for Lunch Lindseys A5 (GC Kome Bucks)

R&M needs?:
Soap dispenser in the ladies room is starting to go out. Kayo did you order a new one for the mens room yet? If not, can you order one for each restroom. As well as some new diffusers or something. Both restrooms seem to smell pretty bad, just from use and lack of air circulation. We have febreeze, but that takes constant maintenance. No more truck stop bathrooms please. They will be getting some deep deep cleaning on the 27th for sure!

Will we be putting up the Wallpaper in the party room on the 27th when we do the deep clean?

86'd items/ need more?
Tskuiji carp at 8pm, as well as Ni Anago, and went on a 5 count for Okonomiyaki

I picked up spray bottles this morning on my way in. We're all good on that.

Kayo we need more share plates  and more Soy Sauce containers (moreso we need lids- there are a lot of cracked lids from tables dropping the soy sauce on the ground)
