Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch was pretty slow. Had a slow trickle, and became mostly full by 1. Started to clear out at 115. Went 2 on at 115. 1 on and cut host at 140. Ticket times were solid.

Dinner: It was a mellow happy hour, but we got a good wave of tables after 6. On a wait around 645. Got up to about a 35 minute wait at the peak, and came off the wait around 825. Went 3 on at 830, and 2 on at 9. Despite the cold weather we got a good amount of late which helped the closers make some money. Cut the Host at 930. The kitchen and sushi bar were unchallenged, and ticket times were solid.    

Specials?

All Star Nigiri Set-6

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Saki had her first train tonight. She was very timid and nervous at first, but the staff did a great job of being friendly and welcoming to her. She did a really good job for her first night. She'll be training again with Kaori next Monday, and will only work Tuesday nights for now.
-Lindsey got some really great compliments from her tables tonight. Also was good about communicating her first timers for me to go talk to.  
-Naoto super productive on the floor as always.

Any VIP's in?
Rachel and Carlos, They were excited about the new sushi item, and Carlos was real excited about the new Japanese beers.

R&M needs?:
Main Kitchen Printer went out at the beginning of lunch. I swap it out with the fry printer so we could get through the day. Called Rick and he said he would bring another printer tomorrow morning, but with the weather I'm guess it'll be more likely in the afternoon.
