Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch was strange. Started off like a normal slow Tuesday. Mostly full around noon, and started dying off around 1230. I cut Krystin at 115 since she had to back around 4. Of course it started to fill up. Everyone came in all at once around 120. Probably about 50+ covers in 25 minutes. Krystin ended up taking some more tables. Sushi bar and Kitchen got hit with a pretty big wave all at once. Had several 25+ minute tickets, but luckily customers saw how busy everyone was and were very patient/understanding. Brought out a couple complimentary ice creams for the couple tables that waited the longest. Despite the hectic surge at the end everyone in the Kitchen & Sushi Bar did a great job pushing through it, and no customer issues arouse.

Dinner was a lot of little pops. Strange flow, but we were fine with 4 on. Had a few tables on the wait here or there. Stayed steady throughout the night until the last 20 minutes. Went 3 on at 845, 2 on at 920. Ticket times were good besides the botan ebi ticket. No customer issues.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Sigele did a fantastic job during the rush at lunch. Extremely organized and on point.
-Saki is so awesome. Such a great worker, and sweet person. I'm really going to miss her.
-Krystin had a great attitude, and was such a team player today. She happily worked long and tough double so Lindsey could go home. Was probably the most productive, and helpful server throughout the day.

Any VIP's in?
Rachel & Leslie
Sweet older couple that always comes in here

Comps& Void Detail:
Comped 2 Botan Ebi that took 35 minutes to hit the table. The couple are regulars and wanted to cancel as they were ready. I brought them out with the check, apologized for the delay, and told them to please enjoy them on us. They were extremely appreciative.
Comped a croquette Server Misring

R&M needs?:
Called Lane to check the soft serve. They came out, but we didn't have any soft serve to test the machine. I guess maybe the batch last night got thrown out. We couldn't find it any where. Jersey is getting some more from restaurant depot tomorrow morning. Left a note for Dusten to call them in the morning.

Ice machine was fixed today. It has a temporary part to get the compressor working, and it's producing, but they will be back to install the permanent part when they receive it.

Received the light bulbs. I will install them during the break tomorrow.
