Special events?:
Who worked: Krystin, Lindsey, Clair, Mandy, Kate (CL), Jason & Cindy (host), Hiroe (FR), John (SA)
Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Really slow start. Didn't pick up until around 7:30. Consistent wait of about 15-30 mins until right before 9pm. Lots of 6 tops. Cut Krystin at 8, Jason and Lindsey at 8:50, and Mandy at 9:30.
Kate mentioned that this was the second night in the row that Hiroe was not running miso soups when it was prompted on the ticket. Seems very unlikely that Hiroe would refuse to run soups. Maybe the tickets are getting lost in the mix of the kitchen. No other ticket times to note.
The lights on the patio went off again and came back on after 60 seconds. Then Toshi mentioned that the sushi bar display wasn't working. The breaker was tripped. I was sitting outside with Krystin right at close and the patio lights went off again. Again!

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): Krystin didn't seem to be in the best mood tonight, kind of low. Possibly because of how lunch went? She managed to turn things around and be in a better mood as the night went on. Cindy sat 3 women at B3 and they asked who their server was and seemed apprehensive in having her serve them again. Cindy assured them that Krystin was very charming. Half way through their meal, the let Cindy know that she was right and they were quite happy with her service. Also, Krystin's 7:00 party was the majority of her sales!
Sushi bar seemed pleased that I continually ran Kate's food. She does seem to get overwhelm quickly, even when there is a long lag between her table times. Don't think she can really handle being the closer but that's just my opinion.
Jason and Cindy work really well as a host/cocktail team. Thinking that Jason could make a really great cocktail, as he is personable and knowledgeable about our drink menu. I'm ready to give him a makeover if this helps...!
Any VIP's in? My friend Kelly. Mostly new faces.

ReplyDeleteYes, servers can buy bottles at cost as long as we have enough in stock.
Krystin had an attitude about the sections that morning. There were only 3 on, she had picked up both her shifts and grace was the only non double. I didn't think grace could handle the back As so I put Krystin there. She was upset about cuts and I said not to worry about it I would take care of it. I'm knew with only 3 on (and not our strongest team) I wouldn't be making cuts. At 1:35 I cut grace and Krystin says "I knew it!" I explained to her that grace had the fewest active tables and she was just annoyed that she wasn't cut first. She also didn't even have to be back until 5:30, when Lindsey had to be back at 4, so I'm not sure why she threw all that attitude when she still got a 3 hour break.
Thanks for the clarification, Elizabeth.
