Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch was slow again. Never filled up. Almost full around 1230, but then quickly died. 2 on at 1, and 1 on at 130. Ticket times were mostly good. Had a Bento Box take almost 30 min because a ticket was prematurely stabbed. Luckily the table was enjoying each others company, and didn't notice. Touched base with them a couple of times, and they were happy so no comp. No other issues.

Dinner was decent. The business came in waves. Had a 5 o'clock reservation in the party room plus several tables in the first hour so it was a decent happy hour. Filled up by 630, and on a small wait around 7. Then it died around 730. Then another small wave around 8 and on a small wait by 815. Then another lull. One more pop and small wait at 9. It was an odd flow, but sales ended up being decent, and we squeaked by our sales goal for the day. Went 2 on at 905. Ticket times were good. Had a couple of ladies order the Iidako, and then immediately send it back when it came. They were confused about what they were getting. No other customer issues.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Lindsey did a fantastic job with a nice couple trying sushi for the first time. They obviously were a little overwhelmed at first, but she patiently walked them through their choices. They really enjoyed everything, and quickly became fans of Kome.
-Naoto & Miho are my Wednesday Dream Team. They always make a shift run smoother.
-Grace did a great job staying productive tonight
-Sophia always has a great attitude and great team player

I feel like every person I've give Kome Bucks to in the past month all came in tonight. It was nice to see some industry faces trying Kome' for the first time. I had time to chat with several of them, make some suggestions, and make sure they had good experiences. Everyone really enjoyed it.
