Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch was slow slow and more slow. We started with a good amount of business but then it died down around 1pm and never amounted to anything afterwards. I cut the host and SA at 2:15 and Sayo and Joel closed it down solo. Mellow afternoon.

Dinner was the opposite. Started with a rush through the door, and all tables were full in the first 30 minutes. Clair didn't have much going on at the sushi bar because nearly everyone wanted a table. Got a few takers and were in full swing. On a wait at 6pm, off the wait around 9pm. Had a 7 top walk in at 9:30- college students again. I hope this doesn't become a trend.

Had a few hiccups tonight: A7 ordered an Edamame- it did not hit the table until after their salmon kasu did. It was Krystin's table and she said she rang it in 'as app". Can we please make a greater effort to ensure that "as app" tickets are pushed out first. I stress it to my servers that they need to use this button to get the item out first. But when it doesn't happen, they are less likely to listen to me.

B6 got sat but had ordered drinks at the host stand. Since they got sat before the drinks were made, the drinks weren't made. They sat for a little while and asked Kate where their drinks were. She didn't know either. The miscommunication was pretty large and I think due in part to having a new hire on the host stand. Nonetheless, the lady at the table was pretty pissy about the situation. We comp'd a round for them. After they ate they were better. But she was just not a nice person by nature I don't think. They did say, however, that they will absolutely be back. Good news on that part

Specials:
Kaki Fry 9
Beef Tataki 2
Temp Zuch/Squash 4

Aburi Sashimi  17 (S12 ordered 3 orders just for himself)


3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-John is getting better but still needs a lot of coaching on his technique of bussing and his presentation of place settings and tables.
-During the rush tonight Jason  (SA) was starting to take drink orders for guests waiting. It was only one couple but instead of pointing them in the direction of the hosts, he took their order. I know we already had this conversation with him, so I reiterated that he needs to direct them to the hosts. He is not to take drink orders when he is SA-ing.
