Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Pretty steady night- went on a wait at 6:30 and off the wait around 10:15. It was steady all night. Sushi bar got the brunt of it later on in the night and we had some 30 minute ticket times around 8:30pm and beyond. Spencer seemed to be struggling there at san-ban, and Andrew was hustling away as much as he could to try to bridge the gap. Didn't have any huge issues with the long times, however. I bought some miso soups for Neal and his friend waiting a while at A2, and got a Philly roll out just in time before A7 started going insane. And when I called for a Longhorn on the fly Andrew literally flew it out to me. He is a rock star back there, for sure.

Mandy had a pretty high maintenance table in the PR that went through several bottles of wine and sake, and all had individual tabs. I believe this is what helped our PPA tonight.

Everyone else seemed to do okay. Had a few 20 minute ticket times on some fry items, but it don't cause too big of a rift in the tide tonight.


Specials?
86'd both Tsukiji's by 9pm tonight.
12 Carpaccio, 10 sets.
Sushi Specs sold great! Sold 20 seared Aji and 7 of the Tazmanian Trout
Put the new feature wines on
Chard sold 4 glasses
Cab  sold 1 glass
Terre Di Gioio bottle sold. So a good start with those.


3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
Naoto was constantly filling his downtime with productive work: filling waters, pre bussing. Just fantastic!
Also saw this coming from Sigele. Always full hands in and out at all times. So great!
Mandy struggled with a 12 top in the party room that all ordered separate items- she had some seat #'s  right but a few off which resulted in someone eating someone else's roll. It was annoying actually, so I have to say she handled them well, but we just need to make sure we're going over seat #'s and rotation in our pre-shift meetings.

Any VIP's in?
Neal and a guest. Also this couple that had come here once before when Alex worked her, but told Sophia they didn't return because of a situation that occurred with him. But they saw that a new manager was here (me & leary I believe) and they felt they could come back. I forget his name, maybe Justin, and hers is Annie, and they are reunited Regulars!

Comps& Void Detail:
Quite a few voids tonight for mis-rings on misc. things (better than a comp!) Had some bday comps, a guest DNL on an Endo, a server mis-ring on a takoyaki they meant the tako-karaage. I guess it wasn't the servers fault, but they should have double checked.

R&M needs?:

86'd items/ need more?
