Weather: Another great day upper 70's tonight

Special events?: Austin Film Fest


Who worked: Grace, Sayo, Dusten, Joel, and Stephanie.  John (SA), Ruthy and Samara (Host), Kaori (FR)

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Slow start but picked up quickly around 6.  We went on a wait at 6:15.  Wait got up to an hour around 7 and then tapered off around 9.  That's when I cut Stephanie and Sayo.  Grace was next to be cut at 9:40.  Cut Samara at 8:30.  The only long ticket times tonight were for items that Sayo and Grace forgot to ring in or misrang.  A  Summer time roll for Grace's B7 and Midnight Sun for Sayo's B2.  Neither one of the tables had to wait long on their rolls and were not upset about it.  50% recovery for the Summer Time but unfortunately B2 left before I could do anything about her roll.  I had the roll out in about 2 - 3 minutes.  Other than that tonight was great.

Specials:
-Sanma Sashimi 1
-Geoduck Nigiri 5
-Duck/Foie 9
-Blue Fin 24
-Kaki Fry 13
-Zucchini Tempura 6


3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): Lots of teamwork tonight! Kaori was prebussing tables on her way back to the kitchen.  Grace refilling waters not in her section.  Sayo was asking everyone if they needed anything in her downtime.  It was just a good night despite a couple of misrings.

Any VIP's in? Ben and family came in for his birthday
