Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch: Busy from the start and busy all afternoon. I was kind of wondering if people had off work today too it was that busy. No major issues that I can recall. Just steady and busy all afternoon until close.

Dinner: Busy from the start as well. We had 5 tables that walked in right at open (well, technically 2 that walked in right before open) and Clair and Krystin got a good start before everyone else got here at 5:30. Slowed down a little then we went on a wait at 7pm for about 20 minutes. After 8:15 it started to die down again so I cut Kate at that time, then cut Krystin at 8:45. Joel took the party that came in at 9, while Jason and Clair shared the dining room business, and I was thinking of cutting Joel around 9:15 when more tables started walking at 9:30 and by 9:45 all of the tables were full again, and we were close to going on a wait. Apparently coldtowne theater had a show that was letting out and we were getting some folks from the show. Clair, Joel and Camacho were running around pretty busy, and sushi bar was pumping out the plates. After we called all in around 10:05, Joel had someone from the party room come up to him and ask where their food was- Joel had forgotten to ring in several pieces of nigiri and 2 rolls. I talked to the guy int he party room whose food it was and he was very understanding. I still took 50% off those items since we were shutting everything down and he hadn't had much to eat while the rest of his party was eating.

Also, the 9pm party room single handedly drank us out of Hot Sake. We get our Glazers deliver Wed. or Thurs. Hopefully we can make it with what we have left of the Sho Chiku Bai (not for hot sake, just for sake cocktails, etc). We will be 86 Hot Sake until then. :(

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Joel was 5 minutes late this morning and didn't seem to think it was that big of a deal. I had a conversation with him about it and told him that next time I will document it, and don't make it a habit. Keep an eye on his in times.
-Kate trained Grace today and Grace seemed to pick it up pretty quickly. I saw that she was scheduled for a Food Run train but we talked about it and she has already done 4 food run trains. So I stuck her with Kate to train on the floor for one day. Only thing is, we lost the server training packet in the great coffee flood of 2015 when the coffee fried the computer. So I'm having to write one from scratch, all over again. Nonetheless, Grace trained with kate today and seemed excited about it.
-Camacho killed it again today. He was working sushi bar but then got other tables as cuts were made and handled his volume like a champ.

Any VIP's in?
Lunch: saw lots of familiar faces but those of which I don't know their names and it's been far too long for me to ask them....Mike! I'm gonna put you on regular watch duty to help me regain my names.

R&M needs?:
Had the concrete guys come out today to look at repairing the floor in the dining room.
