Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Went on a wait around 6:30- again, very similar to last weekend when the bulk of the crowd came in and we had 18 2 tops on the wait list at one point. Died around 9pm, got off the wait and started making cuts. Cut down to Jason and Kate at 9:30. A 10 top walked in at 9:50 and I told them I could seat that at two separate tables. They were okay with that until I actually sat them at two separate tables, then they got all huffy about it. About 10 minutes later A7 got up so I moved them there, since half the party was at B3/4 and the other half was at B5/6. They were very happy with that. The night ran smoothly, which was good. I took a Benadryl for my swollen lip and it really was kicking in around 7pm, I was feeling lightheaded and woozy. I was in an uncomfortable amount of pain for the rest of the evening. I'm going to take another benadryl when I get home and hopefully get the swelling and pain down.

Specials?
Seared Aji Special sold very well.
86'd tsukiji Carp at 9pm

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
*Johnny was a super helper with watering tables and helping prebus in his downtime.
*Kate closed tonight and did a great job. She handled the sushi bar very well, I was impressed. Never got flustered and kept herself organized the whole night.
*Good to have Ruthy back. She did a great job quoting tonight, and overall helping the team out

Any VIP's in?
Karen was in at the beginning of the night, as well as a few other Familiar looking faces but none of whom I know their names. One is a family of 3: White guy, Asian Woman, Mixed Child. The other is a white couple- the woman looks like she could be grouchy but thats just her face I think.
