Who worked?:
Sayo, Sophia, Clair, Camacho, Dusten CL> Jason SA, Lindsey & I hosted, Kaori FR
Stephanie did in fact call out- and this was the one Friday I had only scheduled one host. however it worked out that Lindsey was cocktailing, so Lindsey actually hosted all night- I bought her dinner for it, and cut her by 9:15.

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
What a slow slow night! I expected it to be slower because of the cold, but not as slow as it was.
I hosted until Lindsey got here at 6:30. We didn't go on a wait until 8:30. I had already cut Sayo at 8pm because things were getting any busier. by 8:30 it was still really mellow so I cut Sophia- she had an 8 top in her section and just got sat at A6, so I felt it was a safe bet. Cut Jason by 9:30 and Dusten got the bulk of the tables that came in between then and 10pm. There were 0 tables sat after 10pm. Not. A. One. The weather was a real killer for us tonight.
Not much to mention really. A very smooth flowing night.

Specials?
None that I was aware of.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
I had a contest of teamwork to see who could help me the most tonight since we were short handed at the host stand. Clair was a fantastic help, kept bringing menus up. Camacho also did a great job helping with the menu situation and also with restocking glassware and making the best of this downtime. And Jason SA was
great about communicating what tables had checks, etc. So I bought all of them a meal.

Any VIP's in?
A few familiar faces, but names escape me.

Comps& Void Detail:
Earlier on in the night I had to void a Tsukiji set because it had been 30 minutes and still wasn't made.
Just Kome Bucks for the winners of teamwork, and makani
Speaking of Makani- Marlon & Nemo seem to be getting a little liberal with their mods. Tonight Marlon tried to order a tarantula add salmon, and Nemo's been doing the Fat samuri sub whatever he wants. I put a stop to that tonight. I don't mind if they want to omit an ingredient, but when you are blatently taking advantage of the menu like that, I don't think it's fair. The only mod that the sushi bar ever makes is to the ten zaru to sub out for Udon instead. But that is a more moderate request.

R&M needs?:

86'd items/ need more?
really low on rice crispies for parfait, as well as mochi for parfait.
