Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Another super busy Sunday. Had a bunch of large parties walk in. Had one party walk in and say 10, then say 12, then when we were seating them they said it would be 16. They were a nightmare. We sat them in the back A's, and after the 14 of them had all ordered and food was arriving, the other 2 showed up. They left happy with full bellies though. They just really caused a huge rift in the tide to start things off. Then we also had 4 walk in 6-tops, 5 walk in 5-tops, and a bunch of 4s. We were on a consistent wait of 20-30 minutes.  We stayed steady and busy until close.
Both kitchen and sushi bar did a great job getting the tickets out! Great job to Daniel and Shin, they were hustling their stations big time, and never had an issue. I would pop back into the kitchen every so often to Expo, and right at the very end there were a few things that dragged. I comp'd a side kara age for a couple that waited about 25 minutes for it. But they were really nice and understanding.

Specials?

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Lindsey did a great job handling the ever growing party in her section. She kept all of their separate checks organized well and did a fantastic job handling the rush.
-Joel was the closer and I saw him struggling just a little bit. Looked like he was starting to slow down towards the end, and struggled with pre-bussing
-Clair was in a very upbeat happy mood, helping out where she could, and taking on extra tables after I cut Mandy at 2:30.

Any VIP's in?
Kenny, with his brother, again. That guy loves this place.
Oh! And I found out the name of the messy-haired hipster girl...Laura...or Lauren...close enough!

Comps& Void Detail:
Kit.Error for the long kara age.
Voided 2 clear soups because the guest was being fussy about being charged for them when she didn't eat one.
