Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Pretty decent start to the night, went on  a wait around 6:30- came off the wait around 9:45. Steady 30-45 minute typical wait tonight. It came in waves for sure though, 5 tables would get up all at once, and then sit, so on and so forth. It didn't cause any problems for anyone though. Cindy and Ruthy held down the host stand well.

One weird instance, however, was with B6. it was a couple with a baby carrier. When Cindy sat them she showed them B6 and another table that was bigger and asked which they preferred to sit at. They said B6 would work, so she sat them. And again said if they wanted to move they could. They sat. Then B5 got sat about 5 minutes later. They abruptly got up and left. Not sure what happened. Just in case they yelp or whatever.

Had a man at A7 with a severe mackerel allergy- I advised him that I wouldn't order anything from Ichiban station (I detailed it when talking with him) and he would be fine. They left happy and appreciative of the help. Nice folks

Dusten had 2 guys at B1 (I think one is famous...or he just comes in a lot? He looked familiar and was hesitant to give his name at the host stand when he checked in) In any case, I ran their rolls to them- one was the superstar. When they asked me what was in it  (a second time) they said they didn't think they ordered it. I pulled Dusten over to the table and he said that yes that was what they ordered. They wanted an Unagi Maki- I ordered it on a rush for them and brought it out. When I brought it out I apologized again for the confusion and the other guy said, no I think we mistakenly ordered that. They left happy despite the confusion that occurred mid meal.

Also, the last two one tops that sat at S1 tonight were strange. One guy just ordered a miso soup (and from me, he tried to order from Daniel as he was walking by...) and then left. The other girl ordered an age-dashi tofu from Johnny as he passed by and two pieces from me- as Dusten was right behind me. It was really odd.

Mandy had to cut off  B2
And table 20 at both the 7pm reso and the 9pm reso were high maintenance and took a lot of attention from Mandy.

okay, so other than THAT it was a mellow night :)
