Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Overall it was slow, and the flow of business was mellow. We never got over half full. Ticket times were fine, and no customer issues besides the Gyu Don. 2 on at 2.

Despite the slow shift there was a definite lack of focus and attention to detail amongst some of the staff. Grace and Josh were pretty off their game. I talked with both of them at the end of their shift about the importance of consistency. I had a wave of plating issues from the kitchen during the one pop. Talked to Jason about his roll as food runner, and being the last line of defense before items hitting the table. He understood. Talked to Daniel about keeping a better eye on items. Maybe a topic for tomorrow's meeting.  

Side note: I have been eating Endo rolls lately, because they are the only roll my diet allows. They're always awesome, but wanted to mention a couple of things. Last night it had Sake Toro, which was an awesome surprise, but I had a couple pieces with that hard vein that sometimes ends up in the sake toro. It's an uncomfortable thing to bite into. Today I got a big scale in my roll. My food is free, and I don't care when these things happen because it still tastes good, and I'll eat around it. I am concerned about how they could effect the guests experience, and wanted to share the feedback.

Specials?

Comps& Void Detail:
Comped a gyu don because the lady said the meat was too fatty and stringy. I explained that it was made correctly, but she said the menu description didn't say that and she was expecting sushi beef. She simply didn't care for it and wanted a roll instead. 

R&M needs?:
