Any Special events going on?:

Who worked?: Joel, Mandy, Sayo, Jonny CL, Jason host, Hiroe FR and Sigele training Miho to SA.

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Steady lunch. No wait except for incomplete tables. Seemed busier because we were full most of the time. No ticket issues that I am aware of.

Specials?

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): Joel and I had a little encounter this morning regarding sections. I didn't take into consideration server in-times for those working doubles. I had a few people pulling on my ear for other things so I filled out the sections fairly quickly. Mandy was perfectly flexible and willing to do whatever is asked or needed of her, but Joel huffed and puffed and took whatever section he wanted... for tonight as well. I realize I could be more considerate or pay more attention to those finer details, but similarly, Joel could suck it up and do his job. We did talk about it and everything is fine I guess.
-Speaking of Mandy, she may be awkward and totally destroyed our computer that one time, but her fine dining experience and work ethic puts her heads above those without similar experience and home-training. I always find her to be accommodating, putting the restaurant and her co-workers before herself in most instances. I know we aren't a fine dining establishment, but certainly we are on the high end of many people's budget, and even those who could buy and sell us appreciate the gesture of going beyond cafe style service.
-I saw a rare Sigele smile today. That was nice. Like a double rainbow.

Any VIP's in? James, Sayo's boyfriend was in with friend. Callie Richmond, a girl I went to UT with came in with a friend. His name is Tri. I see him in here frequently and he was at Sa-Ten yesterday too. Kaya came in with a friend.

Comps& Void Detail: FNF for James and Callie, owner comp for Kaya and her companion.
There was an issue with a yelp check-in soft serve. I think Leary had me use the promo discount, which applies to the entire ticket ( it used to not), but the table was paying checks separately. In the end I used a b-day discount for that.

R&M needs?:
