Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch was really slow. It was a beautiful day for a patio so I kind of expected it. Never even got half full. Went 2 on at 1, and 1 on at 120. Cut Josh and Nate at 145. Johnny got a little pop at the end that came out to another $200 in sales, but nothing crazy. No issues, no comps. Ticket times were good.

Dinner was pretty solid. Thought the nice weather would have made us slow, but we filled up by 630. emptied a little, then back on wait by 730. Had a walk in 11 around 730 the pushed the wait time to 30 minutes. Nice having Grace cocktail trained. Allows her to be a little more effective during those pops. Came off the wait around 915. Went 2 on at 9 since the place was full. Cut host at 930. Busy overall, but went smoothly. Ticket times were good.

Had one weird table at the beginning of the night. 2 top at B4. Lindsey said they were a little strange about only having 2 sm btl sake options, but weren't interested in trying any by the glass. Settled on bride of fox. It was around 6, and their food came out super fast. Lindsey had checked on them several times, and they said everything was fine. Naoto had checked on them when dropping an item and said they were fine as well. Seemed visibly unhappy when they left, and ignored me when I said thank you on the way out. Stiffed Lindsey on a $100 tab. Obviously bothered by something, but never mentioned anything to anyone. Expecting a weird yelp, but none yet. On the plus side we've had some really great yelps lately. Several mentioning friendly service which I love to hear.
