Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Busy from the start. Thought we would go on a wait by 6pm but then it died out for a little while. We got our second pop around 7:30 and went on a wait at that point. The sushi bar got hit real hard with the first pop- tons of rolls. The later pop around 9pm was all kitchen food. Luckily, despite 30 minute ticket times from the sushi bar, there weren't any visibly upset tables or comps that needed to be made. Lots of 5 tops in tonight. Had a group call at 8:15 for a 9pm reso of "six" but when I explained that we wouldn't seat them until all 6 were here, they seemed hesitant. I cut Clair at 9:30 since the  9pm reso was a no show. Gave Johnny B3 and B4, Then a 6 top walked in at 10pm, gave the party room to Camacho. It got a little hectic around this time only because the restaurant was still bustling and we're use to it mellowing out. But everyone stayed on their game until the very end.

And I guess the paper Take gave Mike also had Toro on it, but it didn't end up on the specials sheet. I know today was kind of wacky busy especially in the middle of the day, from the manager meeting, etc. So it just got lost in the shuffle.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Jason SA seemed a little sluggish tonight and maybe a little down? Not sure what was going on with him, but he just seemed a little off his game- slower than usual. I was beating him to tables to bus them. However there were times when about 5 tables would all get up at once, so I can't discount him on that one. Mike, I know you had a conversation with him about his appearance- I have to say, his hair tonight was a bit of a mess.I asked if he carried a comb or brush in his backpack and he said no. I asked him to go int he bathroom and run his fingers through it at least to make it look a little more presentable. It just looks...bad. So we're gonna need to work on that in some capacity. Not sure how to tell the kid that his pony tail look isn't working for him.
-Sophia seemed to get a little flustered on the second push of sushi bar- and asked the hosts to slow down seating her. She made a few mistakes leading up to that point, so we gave her 5 minutes between each seating and she seemed to have found her pace again.
-Clair was super busy with the party room and her section- She seemed to have difficulty articulating what she needed, but eventually I got her on the right track.

Any VIP's in?
Rachel and Carlos, Justin (our Pioneer rep) and his wife Miranda, Anya (Bar Mgr at Drink.Well)

Comps& Void Detail:
Voided a few sushi specs just misrings, and a kitchen spec misring too. FNF Comp for pieces sent to the aforementioned regulars above. Other than that, no other comps to note!

R&M needs?:
What happened to the other hot water pot? Did I not read something in the notes or did it break?
I also called Austin Industrial Refrigeration out because the ice machine stopped producing ice altogether. They ended up having to reset the pressure control and had to clean the condenser coils. He made a note that they need to pull the machine and chemically clean the condenser coils because they are such a state of dirty (something I think a regular PM session by them could have eliminated)
