Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch: Pretty slow day compared to this day last year! I read the notes from this Tuesday last year and we were steady busy all day. Today was not that day. We were slow to start, never completely filled up, and around 1pm it slowed down, then picked up a little bit but not enough to be too concerned about. I went 2 on at 1pm and Kate and Krystin handled the small pop just fine. Never had too many tables to overwhelm them.
The only issue we encountered was with a long edamame. The reason I'm mentioning it is because we have been having troubles getting edamame out in a timely manner. Vince suggested having the servers put it on it's own separate ticket, so we'll start doing that and see how it goes. Hopefully that is the remedy.
Dinner: very much different than both last night and this afternoon. We were slow to start but once we got rolling it was pretty steady. Had maybe two tables wait maybe 15 minutes but that was it. Otherwise it was a steady flow of business from about 7:30-9pm. I cut Clair and Kate around 8:30 when I thought it was starting to die down, but we still had quite a few more tables walk in after that so I held off cutting any more until after 9. Then I cut Krystin around 9:10 and went down to just Alex at 9:30. It was a ladies night at Kome and we were all working well together.
The Bank should be fine until Friday- I will go to the bank on my way in if someone could text me the balance that morning.
*Random note: Bailey from Birds Barbershop will be in sometime this week to do some trade with us. The GC's are already preloaded and on the computer monitor.
Specials?
Clams:

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
*Hired another new hire. This makes 3 new hires and we're fully staffed! woohoo! Recap: Dena for host, Stephanie for part time host, and Sigele for FR/SA. Good to go folks. These ladies seem really solid too. No more flaking out.
*Kate took it upon herself to organize the reach in beverage cooler this evening, pointing out that there are two open milks, one of which is about to expire. Nice initiative from her though.
*No SA on tonight meant teamwork. Ruthy was training Stephanie but was still all over the dining room. Hope she has that vigor when she returns from her trip.

Any VIP's in?
Some lunch regulars were in today, but no one that I know enough to mention their names. All familiar faces that I always greet and check in with and invite back, but I've known long enough that it's been too long to ask their name.
Dinner: Bill Norris (Bev Director Alamo), Scott Hirschal (ELM Group), New hire Sigele had already had plans on coming in for dinner with her parents for her birthday,

Comps& Void Detail:
Kit.Error for Edamame B3 (Long ticket 25 minutes),
DNL for Kaki Fry A2, Void Gls Shining Prince meant to hit bottle. Bday Camembert for Sigele & Emp day off for her as well. FNF bought some pieces for Bill Norris & his wife, as well as Scott Hirschal and his family. I also rang in a carafe of hot sake for the kitchen and comp'd it to promo since it was for a special.

R&M needs?:
Patrick never came out over the weekend. I was giving him until today but still never saw him. I will text him again tomorrow to get him to come out and double check our wiring. There is something going on with the outside lights as well, random ones will go out from time to time and the bulb is not out.
*Custom Sign came and fixed the sign today. No more peeling letters.
*Thermal paper will arrive tomorrow.
