Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch was slow. Never picked up on had a pop or anything. It was smooth, with very little to really talk about. really. Filled up around 1:30. Cut Krystin at that time, Went 2 on at 2. Sophia and Alex had a hand full of tables to keep them busy. Cut Sophia at 2:45. Very uneventful. I guess no news is good news.

Dinner: Such a strange flow to the evening. We went on a wait around 6:15 then came off the wait at 7:00, then went back on the wait shortly after that. Tables would get up 4-6 at a time, so we would be taking chunks off the wait list and then putting back on. Really, just a strange ebb and flow to the whole evening. Sushi bar was getting slammed with roll after roll. I kind of want to say it was teammate night, because a lot of tables insisted on ordering per person, and not shared plates. Stayed busy until about 9. Cut Alex at that point. Cut Lindsey at 9:45 and stayed 3 on until 10:45 when it really cleared out. I know, these are very short notes for a Saturday. But honestly, it was just...another day. (though if you do want me to elaborate- the clientele was definitely off too. There were 3 separate instances where someone would go to a table to prebus plates or glassware, and the guest would be very ambiguous about taking the plate or glass. Then when we did take it they got all wierd, and so we just set it back down on the table. I say we because there were several of us whom this happened to.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
*Mandy had some really great prebussing tonight. Because so many tables would get up at the same time, Jason had trouble getting to them all and so I would help, and I noticed that all of her tables only had water glasses left.
*Andrew Dzib worked Zero-ban tonight and I think he did a good job.
*Also noticed Alex's tables were prebussed very well tonight. Water glasses left after check drop, etc.

Any VIP's in?
Drakos for dinner, Neil late night. But other than that, lots of newbies.

Comps& Void Detail:
lunch: Kome bucks for dessert recovery from back in Dec.
dinner: voided a few items because guests were changing their mind, had a spooky roll go to S6 instead of a spec roll and he ate it, thinking it was the Spec roll, so I comp'd it to kitchen error. There was a whole mix up there that I don't even know what happened. But he left happy and enjoyed the Spooky roll regardless.

R&M needs?:
The oven in the kitchen is broken once again. Pilot won't stay lit. This is an ongoing issue. The next available time for any technician to come and look at it is Monday. So no cheesecake until then.
