Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
The night started off busier than the rest of the week, it seems. We were on a wait by 6:30, and it started a little hectic, since we didn't have a cocktail- At first Ruthy and Grace were grabbing drinks, but it was just becoming too much- So i stepped in and told them if anyone wants a drink, that I will come around to them. So I ended up cocktailing most of the night. The floor seemed to take care of itself for the most part.. I comp'd a few birthday desserts here and there, but that was pretty much it. We ran out of Asahi right from the start (thanks a lot Ben E Keith!) but other than that the night seemed pretty good. A very typical Friday for sure- wait went on until about 10pm with average wait times at 30-45min. No unusually large groups, but we did seat the party room 3x.

Didn't seem like there were any major food issues tonight. Ticket times seemed good when I was able to pop my head in the kitchen. It looked like in the last hour the sushi bar got hit hard, but other than that, things seemed smooth.

The only desserts we had tonight was the apple spring rolls and the parfait, since the softserve machine was "broken" and the oven is still broke so we can't make cheesecakes.

Curried Eggplant (9)

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
* Krystin was helpful in her downtime with bussing tables and prebussing as well
*Ruthy & Grace still need to make sure they are checking the sushi cards. A few tables recieved marked cards
* Johnny I think I say this every week- Super star glass putter upper, team player in the downtime.
The whole team really worked well together tonight.

Any VIP's in?
Taylor Kirk was in.

Comps& Void Detail:
quite a few bday desserts. Voided a Kirin 22oz for mandy (it wasn't cold), voided 2 drinks on Johnny's A1- he meant to ring them for another table (they were from the waitlist)
Kitchen Error for a gyoza that was overly oily and smushy.
FNF for Taylor.

R&M needs?:
The soft serve machine is still taking some getting use to. I first put a contest on the softserve, but then it wasn't coming out froze, and since Jersey added more of the miso to it, it started jamming up the machine because it was too thick. I didn't think of it until the end of the shift, but I added some water to it, which thinned it out a little, and by close it was finally pushing out legit softserve...so we'll work with it tomorrow and see how it goes.
