Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Filled up by 12:30 (except for some seats at the sushi bar) Then were full by 12:50 and went on a wait for a few tables. Sushi bar seemed to struggle through the pop, hitting 30 minutes for sushi lunches and 20 minutes on rolls. Kalynn had to make sushi rice in the middle of the rush, around 1:15 but by then the sushi bar tickets had died down. Lots of "hangry" people in today. Demons when they sit, Angels when they leave. But as long as they're happy I'm happy :) Other than that, pretty mellow lunch.

Cut Clair at 1:40, and went down to 2 on at 2pm. Tables trickled in here and there.But it was pretty mellow after 2:30

Specials?

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
*Joel was super helpful in his downtime. Krystin got a handful of tables right at open (lots of 2 tops) and he was very helpful in getting her waters etc. Also did a great job of prebussing!
*Since it was slower in the kitchen today Ruthy did much better.

Any VIP's in?
Kaori & Friend
Andrew & Fiance
Jersey's In Laws, then his wife later on.

Comps& Void Detail:
Emp Day off for aforementioned employees
A few Guest Changed mind toward the latter part of the afternoon- there were some langauge barriers. One guest said roll 40 and alex repeated back 14 and they said yes....then another table said two salmon roe...Alex repeated back two salmon rolls. Incorrect again. She was very frustrated about the whole situation because she did everything she could to ensure she was ordering the right thing, by repeating it back but sometimes things just get lost in translation. Which has been happening quite a bit these last 2 days for some reason.

R&M needs?:
The soft serve machine took a while to get started today....2 hours to be exact. We turned it on and everything but it never started freezing anything until about 1:15. I already emailed our rep with lane about it.
