Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Slow start to lunch, picked up a little bit towards 12:30 but then slowed down around 1pm. Went 2 on at 1pm and Johnny and Camacho held it down until close. Both were pretty busy until we closed. Had a 7 top walk in around 1:15- Johnny got a little bogged down but pushed through to end strong.

Dinner was also a slow start. I wasn't sure if anything was going to happen, so at 8pm I cut Ruthy. Then we got a small pop around 8:15. Had an 8pm Reservation, and then some 2 tops walked in. We went on a 10 minute wait here and there, which was enough to keep the staff busy. But nothing crazy. Went 2 on at 9pm. Camacho closed it down strong.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-John wasn't staying focused at lunch. He just couldn't seem to prioritize what needed to be done and when. At one point he was just transferring glasses from the rack to the top, while there were dirty tables sitting in  the restaurant. Later Johnny asked if someone could get him 2 clear soups for B3, I said yes I would, when I was done with what I was doing. John went back and was making them. Again, tables getting up and needed him on the floor instead. I told him that I appreciated him wanting to help out but he needs to know where his priorities are.
-Ruthy sent me a message asking if she could be considered for server training. I do want to move her into server training soon, but I first need to have a very difficult conversation with Jason SA that it's not going to happen for him. He just does not have that "server gene".

Any VIP's in?
Rachel & Carlos, Ben Edgerton (Contigo), Neil, Mgr of Cheer ups.  All of our PM regulars in for lunch!
Dinner:
Crown and Anchor bartenders, Spencer (Drafthouse Ritz mgr), Nathan, Lindsay (Project Runway)

Comps& Void Detail:
SIN for Mgr of Cheer Ups, and some Alamo Drafthouse upper folks. Emp Day off for Joel and his mom eating at B4. Some ACL wristbands at lunch. I forgot to print the tickets :( I guess I can always look them up on the back office computer. For the next week I changed the name of the ANA Mileage discount to ACL so that people wouldn't be confused.

Dinner: more SIN discounts. did a few voids for items that were 86'd.

R&M needs:
Rodrigo came by today to look at the handsink in the service station. Later on the ladies room sink was leaking water from somewhere. I took apart the pipes to see if there was a clog, but other than the horrendous smell that came out of the pipe in the wall, it didn't seem that anything was wrong. So I put it all back together. Made sure the seals were tight, and it was still leaking. So I ran some drain-o through it, thinking that maybe the clog was further into the pipe. Still no. Seems maybe there is a crack in the top pipe or something. In any case, I text rodrigo and he's coming to look at it tomorrow.

86'd items/ need more:
Softserve.
