Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
The usual crowd, slow to start filled up by 6:30 and on a wait. It was ALL two tops tonight. I would say we had maybe 20% of the tables 3+ in the party but the majority of the evening was 2 tops. No major issues, however. Had one 1 four top wait 15 minutes over their quote time due to a few lingering tables. But they were super understanding I bought them 4 miso soups and they were happy. Then had this really strange incident occur at the very end, this woman and her boyfriend were waiting for a table around 10:15 and we were about to seat them when the guy stormed out and the woman started scolding Grace saying we sat the last table before them but those people came in after them blah blah blah, going on. I intervened and told her we certainly did not seat them first but had a table ready for them right now anyway. She retrieved her boyfriend and they dined. They were an odd bunch to begin with anyway. Other than that everything went well this evening. Nothing much to note.

Specials?

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
*Josh did a great job. I plan on giving him more hours after next week's schedule and he expressed interest in working other areas of the restaurant as well, so I'll get him FR trained too.
*Grace is also interested in food running so I am going to start training her there too.

Any VIP's in?
Rachel and Carlos, Leslie & friend,

Comps& Void Detail:
a few voids for staff here and there tonight- hops and grain 86, tskuiji 86, yakiniku misring, austin east cider misring,

R&M needs?:
I noticed a few parfaits were put in wine glasses. I don't know who prepped them that way but going forward if we could refrain from doing that. It's going to be hard to get the jello out of the wine glasses.
