Who worked: Lindsey, Grace, Clair. Johnny CL. Sigele FR- TR John. Junko Host. Erika SA
It was John's first food runner training shift today. He did okay. He went to the wrong table twice. Sigele talked to me after the shift and said that he needs to slow down and focus more instead of just grabbing the tray and going. I think that problem translates to his SA position as well. He really just needs to stay focused.

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Busy from start to finish. Seemed more like a Friday lunch than a Tuesday. We were on a wait from 11:45-1:15. Jason, our Glazers rep, was coming by with a winemaker for me to taste a few of the selections, possibly for the new menu. I told him 11:30 should be fine to swing by. I tasted through a few with them, and the floor was fine. No long tickets, or guest issues. Lindsey needed help keeping her section watered, lots of thirsty people today. but other than that, it was just a solid lunch. Everyone hustled to keep the wheels on. I can't believe sales were that high....on a Tuesday. Guess that ACL hangover is gone.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
Johnny handled the business at sushi bar very well today and without stress. Asked for help where he needed.
Grace did a good job in the back As today too- I wasn't sure if she was going to struggle with the volume (lunch can more more challenging than dinner due to soups and set ups) but she did well.

Any VIP's in?
Wine Buyer for Hopfeilds (regular- does Omakase at the sushi bar- was in Friday) I always want to call him John but that's not it. Maybe Ron? Global Catch Guy
Some other familiar faces that I can't nail names to.
