Weather: Muggy and overcast with some drizzle after dark.
Special events?: Marty McFly and Doc Brown came to town from 1985. Biff stole their time machine and disrupted past events, so Marty and Doc went on an epic quest to repair the space-time continuum.
Who worked: Lunch: Lindsey, Kristen, Naoto, Erica SA, Jason training John FR and Junko H.
Dinner: Lindsey, Naoto, Sayo, Camacho, Sophia CL, Cindy and Jason H, Hiroe FR and Miho SA.
Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Lunch was very slow. We didn't get our first cover until nearly noon. Johnny is still infirm so we went three on again. Ticket times were fine.
Dinner: Dinner was a bit more lively. we did as more covers in 90 minutes of dinner service than all of lunch. Weather kept tables lingering a bit. Again, nothing with ticket times.
Specials: 4 hama-toto box, 3 carpaccio special, 10 tempura specials
3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): Lunch: All of the servers divided up closing duties and got it all done.
It doesn't look like johnny will be here tomorrow either. Both he and Shannon both have whatever it is.
Dinner: I saw Camacho take a moment to chat up some of Sophia's people as she had gotten triple sat. They were an older couple, I know I've served them before. I just thought it was nice of him to keep them occupied while she made her way to greet them.
Miho says she was sick today but you'd never know it. I stepped in to help her when a largew number of tables had left at once. She apologized as if me helping her was a fault on her part. That's when she told me she wasn't feeling well, and the only time I saw any indication of it.
Any VIP's in? Leslie- friend of Rachel and Carlos, brought with her little dog in her purse. Kazu was a little bothered that the dog was inside the restaurant. I told him it could be a service animal- turns out that is exactly right... according to Sophia.
Owners of Hillside Farmacy, Greg and Jade.
Guy from Alamo, manager at the Ritz, stopped me to tell me that every time he comes in, the service and food are both top-notch and we are one of his favorite places in town. His name is Spencer, he worked with Elizabeth briefly. He specifically mentioned Sophia, Camacho and Johnny as his regular servers.
Comps& Void Detail: Bday apple pie spring roll. Sent a katsuo tataki to hillside owners via kome bucks. $15 kome bucks from a lunch table.
Recovery- 2 aji nigiri. the guy ordered 4. one had a bone in it. I took off two. Another recovery- 20% off sushi lunch. Woman said there was a piece on her lunch that was, "no bueno." It was Lindsey's table. She could remember if it was the hamachi or the suzuki.

Yes, Leslie does have a service dog. Every time she brought brings him in she says to me that she has his papers, and I tell her not to worry about it. If Kazu wants to know more, or anyone for the matter, go ahead and read the article about her in the chronicle (search "moving panaramas") and you'll completely understand why she has a service dog.
