Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
It was mellow right at open. I thought it might be slow being at the end of a holiday weekend, and it being so cold, but at 520 we started to fill up quickly. Really solid happy hour. Kind of a hectic 30 minutes, but once the other servers and SA came on at 6 everything went pretty smoothly. The kitchen had a nice early pop. Had a couple of long ticket times for a kome salad and a couple of edamames, but the servers weren't using the as app button. They all seemed shocked when I brought it up. I'll keep working on getting them back in the habit. After the first wave it was smooth sailing and ticket times were great the rest of the night. Went on a wait by 630, and came off around 830. Went 2 on at 840, and cut the hosts at 9 trying to help out labor since we had a lot of training going on. Only 3 tables came in after 9.

Couple of things that came up tonight:
-I guess it was decided to no longer serve an extra bowl with tori tea or dynamite chk. It was never blogged about, some folks know, but others don't. I was surprised about it. I know its a small thing, but always good to get everyone on the same page with these things. I think its nice to give customers a discard dish whatever it is. We can talk about it in the meeting.
Apple Gyoza is sometimes being cut, and sometimes not. Once again, small thing, but however it's decided to be served we should be consistent.
