Who worked: Camacho, Naoto, Lindsey all doubles. Lunch: Johnny CL, Junko H, Erica SA, and Jason FR. Dinner: Camacho swapped with Sayo to close, Miho, Cindy and Jason H, Miho SA, Hiroe FR

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: All day was pretty tame. Lunch we never quite filled up. It seems as if those late rushes are the only thing that makes Johnny money sometimes. No ticket time issues.
Dinner was steady. Very brief wait. Never more than 3-4 parties waiting at a time. I cut Lindsey and Naoto at 8:35pm. Cut Sayo at 9:15 and then Miho at 9:45pm

Specials: 3 escolar, 4 tempura special, 14 tsukiji sets, 23 hon maguro, 12 toro nigiri

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Erica does seem to have a snails pace. We weren't terribly busy at lunch so I just made sure she was at least doing things correctly. She seems to have the opposite problem of John- who  enthusiastically rushes around but misses things. I think if she works busier shifts, she will step it up.... or else!
-I'd like to see Junko selling the sushi bars seats more. If we don't fill up entirely, Johnny just helps out others and tends to his occasional table. Lunch and dinner customers alike don't seem to think the bar is full service at times. Certainly one can't make a customer sit where they don't want, but more of an effort could be made.
-Jason worked a long day and nothing fazed him. Great job and a great attitude.
-Same can be said for Sayo and Naoto really. I almost never have any issues with these guys. All of our work related exchanges on the floor only further the level of service they provide to their tables.

Any VIP's in? Lunch: Christine without Justin. The Rooster Teeth folks. Couple of regular faces. Camacho seems to know everyone. Saw some repeat customers from last week in tonight- not quite regulars... yet.

Comps& Void Detail: A few misrings hamatoro sashimi x2 and an ika yaki. There were others I can't remember. Voided some drinks that we had 86'd. 2 Kome $15 cards. Both referred from Daruma. I voided a couple of catering trays as a test. Andrew still does not have register privileges. I tried to fix that for him, but I don't really know what I'm doing.

R&M needs: A/C guy came out to inspect the offending unit. He says the evaporator coil needs to be cleaned. It is a 3-4 hour job and the unit would have to be shut off. Jersey suggested they come early one morning to get it done. This still needs to be scheduled with their office.

There is a lightbulb out in the fixture in the hallway. I checked the bulbs and candles box for a replacement. No dice.

Conway Freight came to drop something off but didn't. They left a "notice to consignee of goods offered for delivery." I was out on break, but most of the kitchen people were here.

86'd items/ need more: We are out of the "Charlie Rose." French press coffee. Vino Verde. We tossed a good amount of soy sauce at lunch. We noticed curdled chunks floating about in some of the dispensers. Kitchen made more on the fly and Johnny had the containers run through dish.
