Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch was pretty slow. We filled up around noon, and started to thin out by 1230. I a snag with one order. One lady received her chk katsu about 15 minutes after everyone else. A pork Katsu was made by mistake, and the remake took awhile because all the chk katsu was frozen. The lady was bothered, but once she got her food, and I told her would be taken care of she was cool. No other customer issues, and all other ticket times were good.

Dinner had a really busy pop. It was a mellow start, but by 7 we were on a wait, and by 730 the lobby and patio were full. Had to spend most of my time playing cocktail, and helping Josh. The FOH staff was strong tonight, and handled the business like pros. Had 1 table go 10 minutes over their quote time so I brought them Miso soups and they were so appreciative. Had a japanese family in the party room that did it up right. It gave Alex a $300 boost in sales at the end of the night. They were loving it everytime I went in there to check on them. Saki went in there and talk with some as well. Always nice to have a Japanese FOH person. Came off the wait at 905, and I went 2 on. Ticket times were solid.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
Josh and Saki put in there notice. Josh got a good paying day gig as a nanny, and Saki's husband has to move for work. I'm really sad to be losing her.
-Chanell did well with her trains. She retained a lot of the food knowledge really quickly. Sat down with her at the end of the shift, and went through the menu quizzing her and she had gained a lot of knowledge throughout the day. I have high hopes she will be a good fit.


Any VIP's in?

Comps& Void Detail:
Comp for 25 minute Chicken Katsu
Comp for a roll being handed to the wrong seat number by spencer, and the guest who received glady ate it. Probably a good topic for the meeting.
Comp for a veggie roll that was pre marked on the card. (Meeting topic for the host stand)
Training meal for Chanell
3-$15 kome bucks brought it tonight


R&M needs?:
Office stopped working on the computer. Got it and running. Microsoft told me it's probably a modem issue.
Had maintenance guy come out for the ice machine today. He didn't make it back out with the part until 7, and service was in full swing which was hard to work around, but it seems to producing at a much faster rate. Had to buy ice for lunch.
