Chanell was supposed to train this morning but was a no call no show.

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Just your typical Sunday. Had a line at open and about 10 tables straight away. But nothing crazy after that. Steady but slow. Sushi bar never filled up, and I cut Joel at 1:55, then Krystin at 2:15, and went down to just Alex at 2:30 as it started to slow even more. Had about 5 tables come in between that time. Cut Jason and Grace right before close.

Specials?


3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Ruthy ran a pork Katsu instead of a chicken katsu, and also dropped a bowl of Ramen in the kitchen. I talked to her about taking her time and not rushing in the kitchen. She said she can't see herself getting any better if she only works 1 food running shift a week. I told her I couldn't see her getting any more food running shifts other than that since she has been making a lot of mistakes lately. I told her to slow down and ask questions if she isn't sure. Also, Jersey also said that going forward he will mark the Chicken Katsu plate with a lemon.
- Kate was very helpful in her downtime and was supportive when I went down to 1 on.

Any VIP's in?

Comps& Void Detail:
NONE!!!! Just Makani!

R&M needs?:
The soft serve machine was left on standby last night and completely froze (though I didn't think it could on Standby)But also the mix was probably on it's 4th day. In any case, I disassembled the machine and let it thaw out. We need to add completely disassemble the machine once a week and clean it out, clean the gaskets and re-grease them. We also need to date the ice cream with a "toss" date so this doesn't occur too often.
When I worked at the Drafthouse we disassembled the machine NIGHTLY and never had any issues. I'm  not going to make the closer break it down nightly but it does need to be added to a day for a daily duty to be done by the closer. Either Tuesday night or Thursday night looks like it would be doable. I can go over this at the manager meeting.
