Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
It was a very busy lunch. Started off with a 10 top walking in at 1130. We had a 10 top reservation for the party room at 1145. Had another 5, and 6 tops waiting for people. Full lobby and a 20 min wait by noon. Got all the big tops down by 1230, and the lobby cleared out. Continued to have a steady flow of people to the very end, and a constant 2-4 tables waiting. Grace was a bit overwhelmed at first so I had to stay with her for the first hour. Once she got her flow going, and was able to break free, and helped Jonathan bus tables. He was moving like it was his last day. I prodded him a bit, and he sped up a little. Seemed like the servers were dragging a bit today as well. The Kitchen got a big pop in the beginning, and the suhsi bar got a big pop at the end. They both handled it well and ticket times were great today. 

Specials?

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Shiloh did a great job at the Ramen station
-Jason did food running, bussing tables, and watering tables. He wins the MVP for the FOH.
-The sushi bar as a team finished really really strong with a very busy last 30 minutes.
Any VIP's in?
Dean, Take's first employee

Comps& Void Detail:
FNF for Dean
FNF for Joseph the cook that just left
Comped a Kayaku Udon for A1. The said it had no flavor. They said they've had it before. They were pretty strange and a bit stuck up. They seemed genuinely bothered that I was asking what was wrong with it. I tried to explain that I like to get feedback so we can insure consistency in the future.
