Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Ticket times were good. Since we didn't have a 3rd man or kitchen manager on this morning, I kept a careful eye on the guys back there. Let me say, they did a fantastic job! Their whole attitude was different too. Seemed more positive and gung ho also. They did a great job handling the rush. At one point it looked like Matt was a little bogged down, but he stayed focused and got it all pushed out. Great job by both Matt and Alex this morning! Jason was training Chisato as well, and I had him keep a careful eye on her, since it was just her 2nd training shift.

FOH staff did well also, we went on a wait at 12:15 and came off the wait around 1-ish.  A nice busy lunch. Kate closed out the wrong check, but other than that, everyone was moving and a groovin'!


3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Sophia seemed a little slow and sleepy during the beginning of her shift, but soon perked up to her normal self
-Johnny did a great job handling a terrible tip on the party room. 6 top of college kids. $200 bill. $28 tip. But he put it past him and moved on. Great job!

Any VIP's in?
Director of that documentary. Always sits at the sushi bar. It was right after we opened with plenty of parking spaces and he parked on the sidewalk. I kindly asked if he could move his truck to another available spot. He did, but he seemed inconvenienced and pissed (just because he spends a lot of money doesn't mean he can do whatever he wants, sorry!). I really don't like that kind of attitude, but just smiled and thanked him.
