Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch: Decent steady lunch for the most part. I helped out in the kitchen with it being John's first FR shift solo and in the very beginning with only 2 tickets on the line, he ran the wrong item to the wrong table. So I stayed in the back here and there expoing the items to him to run. The staff was holding their own on the floor so I didn't have too much to worry about. And with Junko at the host stand I always know it's taken care of. We went 2 on at 1:15, and the two closed it out.

Johnny had a table at B3 order 2 Bentos. They asked about substitutions but he said no. He went through the contents of the boxes and they agreed to two, and he said they even pointed to it on the menu. Then when they were brought out and the table declined them saying that wasn't what they wanted. Johnny went through the whole thing with them again and finally they said, no they wanted the sushi lunch. I just voided the two boxes because we were able to reuse the sushi pieces and the rolls.

Dinner: Happy Hour started off steady and all night was steady but just as we thought we would go on a wait, no more tables came in, and a few left. This continued through the remainder of the evening, finally dying down around 8:30, when I cut Krystin. Then went 2 on at 9:10 and just down to Camacho at 9:30. I don't think any new tables came in after that.

Lindseys last table of the night, A7 left her $4 on a $78 check. She said that nothing was wrong with the table, they seemed happy and satisfied, but when she dropped their check the man was very scrupulous about reading over every line. Maybe they spent more than they anticipated, but she just wanted to let me know in case anything comes of it. But she said it was just so strange.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-John still needs to focus on what he is doing. He ran a Veggie Ramen to a table that ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen. It was an easy fix, but still. He's got such a shining personality when hes at FOH thought, it's so sweet. Just really need him to stay focused.

Any VIP's in?
not a one today!

Comps& Void Detail:
Only 3 birthday desserts and one Promo Kome Bucks.
Voided 2 Bento boxes from johnnys table who changed their mind. The leftover food was reused and some was given to makani.

R&M needs:
Cothron's came by around 2pm to fix the safe. The entire locking mechanism needed to be replaced. I forget the name of it now, but it was causing the wire to suck the life out of the batteries, which was why when Scott first replaced the batteries it worked, but then come close it didn't. It was a costly fix, but comes with a year warranty. I asked if this is common and he said with constant use, it eventually burns out. Report to come.

86'd items/ need more:
Finally got some bev menu stuff back in.
