Who worked: Krystin, Joel, Kate, Mandy, Camacho CL, Sigele FR, Miho SA, Samara H and Ruthy CKTL.
Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Smooth and Steady. We went on wait maybe aroun 6:30 and kept people in line throughout the night. Had an ebi fry and dynamite chicken miss the fryer but the table had a tonpei-yaki to keep them busy while we rushed it. I cut down to Mandy and Camacho at 9:10pm.
Danny had me taste some kara-age may not be right. Apparently the marinade wasn't strained properly. He rinsed the marinade off of some and I could taste any discernible difference.. Someone may want to try it in the morning.
Specials: 5 shishitos, 3 beef tataki, 6 temura specials, 2 toro taku handrolls, 6 kind \g salmon boxes
3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): All the FOH doubles did well. One guy left his credit card on the table. It had been a few minutes at least since he'd left. Quick thinking Samara looked up his name and number from the list and he got his card right back. I heard lil John heartily thanking guests as they passed by him leaving. Had a talk with Sayo about closing lunch. She was still here when I came in! She seemed pretty excited about it.
Any VIP's in? Kendo-San. Some dinner regulars. No kids. Not many anyways. King Daddy Ice came through. One guy Samara thought was a 90's A-list child star turned out to be a D-list movie actor.
Comps& Void Detail: b-day desserts. apple pie and camembert. 4 hamatoto nigiri- 86'd, gyoza misring, side kimchi that wasn't made. End of the night we had run out of the vanilla ice cream. Went to sub the soft serve and it had been switched off at 10 minutes after close. Don't know by who. Long story short the table was cool about the green tea ice cream and I comp'd it to recovery.
R&M needs:
86'd items/ need more: teaspoons? I could only find 9 today. BOH may need a new broom. Steve has come up front to grab ours the last 2 nights.
1- let's be sure we are pre shift talking about turning off the soft serve machine. And 2- who was the d-list actor!?!
