Lots of doubles today! Including myself :)

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch was really slow. Took forever to pick up. Finally got a small pop around 12:15, but it died after that. Cut Kate at 12:45, and went 2 on at 1:15. Johnny and Grace alternated tables and it never got much busier after that.

Dinner was a different story. It was slower the first hour but by 6:30 we were on a wait. The wait was at it's height we had some tables wait almost 45 minutes. Jason sort of under quoted about 3 of the tables, I think due to the fact that they all came in nearly at once and he wasn't elevating the wait enough. But he did a good job of juggling everything that came his way. We had quite a few people ordering drinks, so I was cocktailing for a little bit, but nothing too bad. Just a nice busy night. No long tickets, no burnt food, no angry guests. Overall, a busy, fun night.

On a seperate note: I processed payroll today and finally added tips into those that worked any Cater2Me orders, this includes tipping the driver. So it's not much but sushi chefs, Jersey, Mike & Myself have some tipshare in our checks this time around. Going forward as soon as I get the statement from the previous month, those tips will go on the staffs checks. Tips are divvyed up based on who worked on the order and who delivered and set it up.


Specials:
Tempura Green Beans
Shishito Peppers
All Star
Blue Fin
Japanese Uni


3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-During lunch shift it was around 1:15 and Grace was trying to figure out what to have for dinner. Johnny pointed out that she had S3-4 and she said okay, then stood there and continued to ponder her lunch. I had to inturrupt her inner monologue to remind her to greet her table. Subsequently I have added to the shift notes to greet your tables within 90 seconds- hard or soft greet. Just a good reminder
-I think another good reminder for the staff is to talk about watering tables again. Kate's sushi bar was looking pretty dry all night, granted everyone was busy, but when it slowed there was a lot of standing.
-It was nice to have Krystin back- little bubbly lady.

Any VIP's in?
Lunch: Victor, Tara & Kelvin
Dinner: Moto, This guy and his wife, they put the name Lee on the waitlist, but I forget his real name. A regular named Benjamin (he was the one that told me he was going to call Take and Kayo because I wouldn't seat him incomplete that one time)

Comps& Void Detail:
Voided an Uni, guest changed mind for Sanjuro
voided a few pieces for Kate, misrings tonight. Several Birthday desserts. FNF via Take for a few items.

R&M needs:
The guys will be out early either Wed or Thur AM to pour new concrete around the dumpster and secure that area. I'll know more tomorrow.

86'd items/ need more:
For the love of Sake!! Snow Maiden is out of stock until maybe Thursday. We ran out of Dreamy Clouds, so we used the small bottles, and we're almost out of Bride of Fox. I have no idea where all this sake drinking came from. I upped the par on wine and beer, then sake comes around and kicks me in the ass. oye!!
From Amazon today I ordered: Sharpies, Tea lights, and Dry Erase Markers (the ones that someone picked up are wet erase and causing a mess) I also ordered another floor mat for the service station. And I ordered Crayons from another company. This should take care of everything for a little while.  Amazon order should be in Wednesday.
