Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
a steady sort of evening. things picked up around 7pm and we went on a short wait on and off all night. With Jersey and Nemo working their first yaki shift I wasn't sure how ticket times were going to run, but we never had an issue with anything. The entire evening was very smooth going. The only irritation all night were these 2 tables (A8 & B2) that both had incomplete parties. A8 wasn't completed until 45 minutes late, and B2 wasn't completed until TWO HOURS later! Pretty annoying. But other than that, it was a steady flowing night.
I cut Sophia at 8:45, then Naoto at 9pm and went down to 2 at 9:15 and 1 at 9:45. It died pretty good after 9:30

I picked up the dessert menus from the printer today and so we are ready to roll with them. Didn't have the donuts in stock and told the staff to feature the warabi mochi and dango for the "featured" desserts. And we noted the 'seasonal frozen treat" as the miso dulce de leche ice cream.

Specials?
Clams
Poisson Cru

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
*Ruthy has been a go getter lately! Such excitement and drive from her. And tonight when she was taking drink orders I saw her ID them, which was a great comfort and I was very proud of her for knowing to do that. I am going to schedule the drink class soon, however she will likely already be in Japan, so we'll have to go over them again when she returns.
*Ixchel is doing better with her food running shifts. Taking a little more time to read the tickets and move with purpose.
*Dusten was helping bus tables in his downtime tonight. nice to see those helping hands at work.

Any VIP's in?
No familiar face tonight!

Comps& Void Detail:
A few bday desserts, makani discounts, but nothing other than that really. Lindsey misrang a Meibo that I voided. And I rang in a Jules Taylor that I voided to test the computer

R&M needs?:
I'm going to call ABC tomorrow morning about the mens room leaky toilet.
Also, be sure that all the hosts and SA's know that the propane tanks must come out of the heaters before they are put inside.
