Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Slow start, and later pop tonight. Went on a wait around 640, came off the wait at 840. Went back on a small wait at 9, and came off around 920. Lots of campers tonight which was part of the reason for the later wait. Flow of business came at a nice pace. It stayed steady, but nothing crazy. Ticket times were good. Food was looking good. Ziggy's tempura looked better tonight. Went 2 on when we came off the first wait. Closed 2 on.
Had some customers not being very understanding about the 86'd sake tonight. Had to touch base with some folks about the shortage, and apologize for the inconvenience . Not a major issue, but folks were pretty cranky about it.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Saki did a great job for her first day.
-Talked with Nate about points of improvement at the host stand.
-Kate has really been doing a great job lately. Considering the news about her grandfather I was impressed with her professionalism. She got a big pop in the A's at the end of the night, and handled it like a pro. Several servers don't handle those inevitable pops as calmly. She stays organized, consolidates her steps, and knocks it out.

R&M needs?:
86'd items/ need more?
About the sakes: I hope you're letting them know there is nothing we can do about it (not in those words) and that it's a warehouse issue. With the weather issues and there are also some port strikes going on in CA, we're having trouble keeping a steady inventory. What were folks upset about anyway? That they couldn't get the cheap stuff?
ReplyDeleteI did pass all that info on, and it helped with a little with their understanding of our shortage. The lack of cheap stuff (Snow Maiden) was definitely an issue with one table. They were wanting other bottles at the same price point. Another table was upset that we had items by the glass, but not by the bottle (hawk in heavens), and once again wanted to play lets make a deal.
