Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
It was a decently steady start, but it took awhile to fill up and go on a wait. On a wait by 730. Much like last night, it was a steady 20-30 min, and stayed on the wait until after 9. The business came at nice pace, and ticket times were solid. Went 2 on at 915, cut host at 940.

Had a lady come in for her birthday tonight, and her husband had decided not to come. She was pretty down, but Alex and the staff really turned her night around. Once the staff found out her story Alex and Camacho sent her some pieces, and everyone took turns checking on her. Great seeing the staff get so involved.  

Lots of happy customers tonight. Everyone really enjoying the food. I received some really nice compliments from guests in general. 

People really enjoying the Buta Kimchi.

I noticed we're serving farm salad in Udon Bowls now. I'm sure there is a reason, I don't remember reading about it, but I miss the presentation of the beautiful fresh veggies fanned out.

Specials?
Smoking Sashimi- 1
Carp Spec- 1

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-I've noticed that Shiloh is on her phone a lot during dinner shifts. Not sure what the back of the house policy is, but it feels weird when I'm constantly telling servers to put their phones away and they see a cook doing it. Also, I know she has kid(s), and there might be something going on, but it seems like constant phone use.
-Nate worked he's first solo SA shift and did well. I gave him a lot of coaching, and went through some things to improve at the end of the shift, but he did a good job. I see him being more valuable as an SA than a host in the long run.
-Sigele awesome as always.

Any VIP's in?
