Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Steady Saturday. Maybe a little slower than usual because of ACL fest. Filled up by 6pm and were on a consistent 30-45 minute wait until it died off around 9:30 when I cut Sayo, Ruthy, and Cindy. Cut Clair at 9:45, Mandy at 10, and Grace at 10:30. Customers seemed to be in an exceptional mood tonight. Maybe it's the weather? No long ticket times to note.

I'd like to address how the kitchen is running things. Had a farm salad last night for dinner. The beets hadn't been peeled and tasted like dirt. The mixed greens were sandy. I noticed the same tonight when Daniel was preparing the salads. I mentioned something to him. He didn't really seem to grasp the concept of washing and cleaning vegetables. Also noticed a quart container of Kimchi and several sauces sitting out in room temperature for a long time. This has me really worried as far as food safety is concerned and what other things they are being lazy about. I have gotten sick from the kitchen's food a couple of times. Please keep an eye out for things like this.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): Cindy and Grace did really well as a team running the host stand tonight (first Saturday since I started working at Kome that I haven't hosted. However, they need to be more mindful about stocking the cart by S12, tidying the lobby, checking the bathroom, and making sure they have napkins stocked before dark. I had to go to the trailer with a flashlight to retrieve them. Not a big deal. I think Cindy has gotten comfortable with me "running the show" when we work together as hosts. Time to let this baby bird fly!

Great attitude from Jason SA tonight! Big improvement from the last couple of weeks.

Any VIP's in? Ingrid and James, The Japanese guy that sits at the sushi bar solo,

Comps& Void Detail:
-Reopened a check to void a glass of Viognier and a glass of Oasis Ale for A4 because Sophia missrang. It was supposed to be on A8's ticket. She was extremely apologetic especially after having a conversation about missrings and improperly closed checks in the pre shift meeting.
-Not quite a DNL but A3 ordered a Tarantula and Negi Hama roll that they ended up not wanting because they were full. Sophia caught it before it was made.
-Clair missring 2 Sake Toro. "Accidentally pushed the button', she said. Caught it before it was made.
-Two ACL discounts rung in at 15% under FNF
-$15 Kome bucks promotion (table said they received the card last time they dined in)
-$15 Kome bucks that Sayo used for her dinner

R&M needs:
