Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch: Slow start, but steady throughout the afternoon. Got out pop around 1:30 as predicted and didn't make any cuts until 2:30. Nothing of note. I thought we sold a lot more bentos but we only sold 7. Started the free softserve with Bento Promo today.

Dinner: A good start for sure, several tables right off the bat. I thought we were going to go on a wait right around 6 but it tapered off. Ruthy came in at 6pm with one a black dress that she wears hosting. But with her apron tied it made it a little too short. I had her go home and change. She came back and finished setting up the patio and then helped SA and Host in her downtime. We didn't go on a wait until 8:30. We got our pop then. But were steady up until then. We stayed on a wait until about 9:20. So all of the sales really came in the last 2 hours of service. Had the 2's then the 4s later on and a walk in 8 top that we were easily able to seat in the party room. Cut Joel and Mandy around 9:15 and then Kate at 9:40. I don't think any more tables came in after that.

Oh, it was the night of love: B5 had just gotten engaged and were in for a celebratory dinner, and B3 had just gotten hitched and were in for the same. I sent both parties a half pour of bubbles to say congrats!

Got the Okay from Tomlinson's to start parking in their lot starting tomorrow after 7pm. Their lot is only available after 7pm and I have created a sign and will change the hours/info sheet up front as well as post on social media and have it changed on the website. yeah for more parking! Take that Ridgetop Neighborhood Association!

Somewhere, the lines of communication got crossed somewhere and I noticed Cindy bringing in the outside stools while we were still 1/3rd full. I told her that the closer does that. Then I noticed Hiroe bringing them in about 25 minutes later, with still a table or two left. Just to reiterate, the closing server brings the stools in only after the last guest has left the restaurant.

Specials:
F.Green Toms 7
Shishito 9
Temp Zucchini & squash 6
Blue Fin 34
All Star 8
Bitches Brew 34 this roll is super popular. Might want to think about adding it to the menu?

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Camacho stayed positive and energetic through his long double today
-Mandy was in other sections helping to prebus during lunch. Playing the super team player part today
-Clair (though not here) got a compliment from a table. They said that everytime they come in they get her as a server and she always does a great job and makes their experience memorable.

Any VIP's in?
Rachel & Carlos, Old John, Brandon Tomlinson (I totally didn't recognize him until he told me who he was....we had had a meeting about a month ago. I felt silly I didn't realize it was him!), my friend Jacqueline.

Comps& Void Detail:
FNF for Jacqueline, Kome Bucks for friends of Take's at A4

R&M needs:

86'd items/ need more:
I asked Daniel to please order other 10 oz cups from Sysco, along with matching lids. The cups that were ordered are eco-friendly, which is great! But they are made out of corn (thanks for the info Mike) and melt easily from the heat. I have already thrown away a sleeve of lids because the office got too hot   (afternoon sun shoots straight through the window and sits on the box, causing the lids to melt from the heat) And if we are putting these cups outside at the water station they will do the same.
