Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch was slow but we still squeaked by the sales goal. Almost filled up around 1230, but by 1 it was thinning out. Went 2 on and cut Junko at 1. 1 on 130. Ticket times were good.

Dinner came on at a slow pace. Went on a wait by 730, got up to 30-40 min wait, and were off by 840. 2 on at 9, 1 on and cut host 930. Ticket times were solid all night. The pop was bigger and felt busier than last night, but mellow happy hour and only a few tables after 9.

Carpaccio Spec- 6
Taz Nigiri-14

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Nate got a solid train at the host stand tonight. The lobby was fuller, and we had a larger wait than last night. A lot of drinkers as well. He did a really solid job. Very professional, and seems to pick things up quickly. I think he'll be be a solid addition to the support staff.
-Kate has been very solid on all of her shifts lately. Lot's of upselling and good feedback about guests and operations.
-Sophia solid job at the sushi bar as always.
