Who worked: Clair CL. Grace, Stephanie. Samara Host, Cindy SA, Jason FR. Me everywhere.

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Slow to start the first hour, so I had Stephanie and Grace help me with a few cleaning and organizing projects. Since the staff likes to stash to go supplies on the shelves on top of the service station, I just moved everything there. I'm going to Home Depot to get a taller step ladder so that all of the staff can reach (including myself. It got a little hairy there for a second). Also at Home Depot I'll pick up swiffers for the hosts to dust the lobby, and clorox wipes to clean the bathroom with. During our cleaning frenzy Samara dusted the entire lobby, and the girls wiped the walls in the dining room. Those walls were pretty nasty- I believe that is a daily duty- make sure we are getting that done.

Anyhow, around noon it started to pick up and we were in full swing by 12:30. It was definitely a challenging day with only 3 servers on. Had several large party walk ins and as usual we had a group of UT kids first say they were 6, then 12, then 7 then they ended up being 10. We did some shuffling around of tables but ultimately got them sat soundly. Grace definitely struggled to keep up with the business. She forgot clear soups for a few tables during the height of the rush, but I kept an eye on her and followed up with her regularly. It finally died down around 2:15, I cut Grace, then went to just Clair at 2:45. The day came to a quiet close after 2:30 things really died down and only 3 more tables came in after that.

No major issues, however. No angry guests, no long tickets. Just super busy.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
Since Mandy called out today it was just the 3 girls on the floor, plus Cindy as SA and Samara as Host and myself. We all were hustling so I would say we all did a great job on the floor today! :)

Any VIP's in?
Tatsuya, friends of Kazu's, Ixchel and Lena.

Comps& Void Detail:
FNF for aburi hamachi for Tatsu-ya, Emp Day off Discount for Ixchel and Lena (both former employees)

R&M needs:
We will finally be getting that hole in the ceiling repaired. Victor will be here Tuesday at 9am to get the projected started. I'll meet him here to go through it all and then him and his team will work during the day to complete it.
