Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Slow to start. picked up at 12:30p and stayed full until 1:30. Had 2 gyozas go out to S11-12 (regulars) and they were cold. I took them back, had them reheated and they were returned to the table and happy. Also had a Buta Kimchi go out dinner style (just on a small plate) because it was their first time making it. I caught it right away and had them add the salad and rice.  Other than that it was smooth sailing.

We got the new style Kome Bucks in- There are two sleeves on top of the tshirt boxes, but then also a smaller one on the Sake Handbook in the office on the shelf. Please give these to staff to hand out to friends. We will still use Kome Bucks (the old ones in the drawer) to reward staff, but these are for us to go and hand out (Kinda like Uchi does). As managers we'll start taking turns going to local business' to hand them out, but for now we can also give them to the staff to distribute to friends and other restaurant folks.

Specials?

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Josh is really good at spotting spotty glassware. Sounds weird but he has an eye for detail with that, which is nice to see.
-Krystin was prebussing outside her section in her downtime.
-Kate does a really great job tailoring experiences for people. Chatting with people she sees regularly as well as letting other staff members know who a regular is.

Any VIP's in?
Meibo (I think that's how you spell it) Was in with a friend.
Shane from Glazers with a rep from a vineyard
had a regular today compliment out Tonkotsu Ramen. he said it's not too salty like a lot of other ramen shops around town and it allows you to taste all of the flavors as intended.
Comps& Void Detail:

R&M needs?:
Kayo placed the order for the softserve machine and we will have it by the end of the week. They need to schedule a training for the manager to show us how to clean it and maintain it. Which will likely be a Monday. But we'll find out at a later date
86'd items/ need more?
We have 3 boxes of napkins left in the trailer. 20 more will arrive on Thursday but they are unmarked. I had a note on my calendar to order more napkins last week and I did (they take 3-4 weeks) and thought we would be good. We just got our last delivery of napkins on Jan 6th. That means we (and Daruma) went through a pallet of napkins (62 boxes) in 62 days, essentially. I will order another pallet of napkins every other month, going forward.
