Any Special events going on?:

Who worked?: Krystin, Joel, Clair, Sayo, Camacho CL, Jason, SA, Samara host, Ruthy FR, Grace cocktail

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: 33 covers upon opening. Strong start but died off around 8:30. I cut Grace then. Never filled up again. Went 3 on at 8:45pm and then down to 2 at 9:10.
Had a couple of tickets come up missing at the sushi bar for rolls. Joel caught his before the table noticed. Camacho had the other and they waited more than 20 minutes. I sent the guy a $10 Kome buck card and Kazu sent him a couple of pieces. I don't know if it was human error or if we're still having printer issues. i know I had a couple of tickets come up missing from the kitchen over the weekend, so maybe the latter? Can't be certain.

Specials? 9x shishitos, 10x tempura specials, 2x smoking sashimis, 9x tsukiji sets, 17x all stars.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Ruthy was super upbeat and quick tonight. She beat Jason and I a few times to tables to bus them. She mentioned really enjoying FR evening. I'm sure a change of pace from the host stand is probably very welcome for her.

-Grace was very helpful in her downtime, bussing tables and filling in at the host stand as Samara sat people.

-I think the change in weather is affecting some people. Clair, Krystin, Sayo and Grace all claimed to have various ailments tonight. They powered through however.

-I have moved "Naoto's Mumble Jar" to the office pending it's dispersal to who ever is supposed to benefit from the collection. I've worked in other restaurants that didn't allow FOH to discuss pay or count out their cash in front of other staff. Even here, I have been asked to not bring up my own sales to other servers, which makes perfect sense to me. What doesn't make sense is to see cash that isn't being collected on anyone's behalf or for any charitable cause, just left out in front of people who certainly need every dollar they earn. If I am wrong, I'll happily put it right back where it was until someone swipes it.

Any VIP's in? The little old asian dude with the back brace and his wife and son. They brought Take some shiso!, Roger and his girlfriend, Lynn with Erin and Olive

Misrings: age dashi tofu, side rice, 2 all star nigiri sets. 86'd voids: 2x soft serve, tempura special, shishitos and shime saba sashimi. Guest changed mind on a surf and turf when we ran out of soy paper. Had a 10% buzz-table promo- I used the FNF for this. Krystin used $15 kome bucks on her food. HAd another table use $15 kome bucks as well.
