Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch- Much better than yesterday. Just cold enough to drive everyone in for Ramen. Shiloh handled it like a pro. Full by noon today, and a small wait for a bit. Got 2 rotations out of the party room. Came off the wait by 1245. Went 2 on at 1. 1 on at 145. Cut host at 140. Sushi bar and kitchen handled the pop well, and ticket times were good.

Dinner had a smooth flow to it tonight. Another decent happy hour. pretty full by 630, and on a wait by 7. Lots of campers, but no one went over quote time. Once I got the hosts jump-started things ran very smoothly on the floor. Gave me some extra time to schmooze with guests, and really analyze staff operations. We didn't get off the wait until about 915 but my closers were Dusten and Sophia so I went 2 on at 845 so they could make some money. Cut Dena at 850. Stayed steady and almost full until 945. Daniel, and Steve handled the businees well. Ticket were good.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Josh handled a busy Thursday pretty well. He needs to increase speed/consolidation, but that will come with time. His guest and staff repport is fantastic. Great to have him on the team.
- Jason was super helpful clearing tables on the way back
-Had to poke and prod Dena and Grace to be productive at the host stand tonight. They were having a breezy shift, and just talking up a storm, but there were plenty of things to do. I ended up giving them a laundry list of things they could be doing, and sternly asked them not to stand still. Grace was responsive. Dena was not, and gave me a slight attitude. I have a whopper of an eval coming for her next week which will also be a do or die. At this point I'd rather host ever shift than work with her again.   
 

Any VIP's in?
Joel the owner from Casa Brasil came in and used his $30 in Kome Bucks that Kayo gave him
