Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch was steady but slow. Had two seatings in the party room, and no long tickets. No Hangry people today! yeay!!! Mike came in for lunch, so it was nice to be able to sit and chat with him. Cut Joel at 1:50, then went to just Johnny at 2:45. Had a small 2:30 push but other than that it was mellow.
Dinner: Great teamwork in prebussing tonight! More on that later. We went on a wait at 6:15 and didn't get off the wait until about 10:25. Grace rang almost $600 in cocktailing sales. The night was solid, and LOTS of large party walk ups. We had a 7 top, and two 6 tops walk in, on top of the two 10-top reso's we had. The night flew by with how busy we were, too.
No major issues, except maybe B7, and it was more odd than an issue. They were pretty obnoxious or drunk and started bothering B8 a little toward the end of their meal. For starters they all sat on the same side of the booth. A 4 top. They made up several of their own rolls- which the one guy said Take makes it for them all the time (?) so Camacho talked to Danger about it and Danger made the rolls for them. Then, when they were all taking turns using the bathroom at the end of their meal- one of the guys walked in the office (while I was taking Naoto's checkout) and took a carrot from our shelf. When Naoto asked for it back, he gave it back, but then I kept an eye on them while they waited in the lobby waiting for the ladies in the restroom and when I came out of the office, one of the guys ran back to the bench like a child that touched something he shouldn't have. Then as they were leaving, the same guy walked back in the office and said to me, as he was grabbing the carrot "may I?" and I said "no you may not" and he just kept this sh*t eating grin on his face as I asked him to put it back. So strange. Other than that, no issues or hiccups.
Fun Fact! We had guests at the sushi bar tonight ask if the Austin Beer Works beer was Vegan. I never knew beer wasn't vegan. When I asked them if they knew of any beer that wasn't vegan they told me New Castle Brown Ale wasn't because of some fish proteins they add to it (weird!) So I googled it (where all answers can be found) and found this cool website called Barnivore:
http://www.barnivore.com/beer
And they list all beer, wine and spirits that are and aren't vegan. A great tool should anyone ever have that question.
Specials?

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Saw Dusten helping to bus and prebus in the B's all night. Great team work with his neighbor
-Lindsey seems to struggle in the middle B's- just working the large parties doesn't seem to be her strong point. I noticed multiple times in the party room there were almost empty water glasses.
-Samara and Ruthy make a great team at the host stand. Samara's quote times were really on point and Ruthy can't stand still anyway, so she's constantly being the gopher for everything.
Any VIP's in?

DNL for a Tsk Carp- the lady just plain didn't like it. She also didn't like the onigiri but again, it was all personal taste. Oh and she also didn't like the shishito peppers. But she paid for all that stuff.
Kitchen Error (long ticket) for a Gyoza for B4- it was at about 15 minutes "as app" and their 3 rolls beat it out.
R&M needs?:
86'd items/ need more?
Ahhhhhh. Ok we are not don't anything for them B7 ppl!!! Take said he never made any special rolls for them!! We would be happy to take care of when we have food neighbor but unfortunately they were not the one. So if they mention about Take and trying to get advantages, you can tell them we can't offer anything special.
ReplyDeleteWell at least I figured i will not do anything with this neighbor anymore, and good thing they are renting so they are not our forever neighbor..:(
Good thing they are renters! And I thought that was odd that Take would make not only 1 but 2 special rolls for them (one was Hamachi, Softshell crab, Avocado, & Cucumber...that doesn't sound very good to me)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up. They were a bit odd...and I think there was some "swinger" action going on there too. But hey, what happens behind closed doors is up to them.
