Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
First Friday night since I've been back. Seemed like normal weekend business. The first hour was a little slower than I expected but we were full and on a wait by 630. It was nice having 2 hosts and a cocktail. Gave me a little more to help out on the floor. Everything went pretty smoothly for most of the night. FOH the house staff was firing on all cylinders for the bulk of the shift. Ticket times were great, and all the food I saw going out looked good. The Special Dessert was awesome, and lots good feedback from guests and staff. We started to thin out, and only have a handful  of tables on the wait so I cut the first host, the cocktail, and Alex since she was a double. The next rotation of tables got hectic. It seemed like everyone kind of lost steam all at once. Ruthy sat a table without menus, sushi items weren't getting run, and everyone needed help all at once. It was an odd 20 minutes, but then we got through it and everything was fine. Closed 4 on.

Lots of campers tonight. Had several tables go slightly over their wait quote, but only 2 went excessively over. Had Apps ready when they were sat to make things right. 

Servers did a great job selling specials tonight.   

Specials?
T Carp- 8
T Set- 9
Smoke Sashimi- 25!
Aburi Aji Nigiri- 3
Aburi Hamachi  Nigiri- 0
Open Sushi- 17
Special Dessert- 6 (the staff really liked this one)

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
Grace was productive helping out during down time.
Sigele was solid as always
Kate did a great job pushing specials and manage to squeak past Dusten to win the specials contest tonight in the back Bs.  

Any VIP's in?

Comps& Void Detail:
Recovery for 3 pork belly nigiri for a table that Ruthy got the wrong guest count. She put 2, they  were a party of 3. They had gone over their wait time by 15 minutes as a party of 2, then paged to find out it was actually 3, and had to wait another 15 minutes. They were nice enough about it, but I felt at that point I needed to do something nice for them.
Recovery for edamame for a 2 top that went 15 minutes over their wait time.
Lots of Kome' bucks for sales contests.

R&M needs?:
The top shelf of the glass rack is getting pretty wonky. I was trying adjust the clip, but couldn't get it to hold.

86'd items/ need more?
