Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
AM - Busy lunch.  We were on a wait at 12 and stayed on a consistent 15 -20 minute wait until 1:15.  That's when I cut Krystin.  Cut Joel at 1:35 and then picked up a few more tables which kept Kate and Sayo busy until the end.  No unusually long tickets times that were pointed out to me.  Kitchen did a great job keeping up with the push
PM - Really really busy.  We were on a wait at 6 and quoted an hour starting at 6:45 all the way through 9.  We did go over the quoted time on several tables tonight but that was only because people were camping out.  No long than 10 - 15 minutes though.  I don't think anyone really noticed though.  Things got a little hectic for a few minutes toward the end of the wait because we started running out of a lot of things and there was a little confusion.  Everything settled down quickly once things became a little more clear.  I cut Krystin at 9:30 and ended the wait at 9:45.  Cut Mandy and Samara at 10.

We had a 20 minute ticket time on a veggie tempura.  50% comp to recovery

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
AM - We had a busy lunch; everyone seemed to keep there heads down and powered through it.  I talked again about water refills today and it seems to be getting better.  I saw John (SA) refilling a lot of waters today.  Sayo was in a great mood.  I just love working with her.  She always has a smile on her face and something funny to say to lighten the mood of a busy or stressful shift.
PM - Everyone did great tonight except for a few hiccups here and there.  Some pretty good teamwork tonight too.  Saw lots of help running food and help busing tables.  Lots of misrings and voids though.....  Samara and Cindy held down the door and Ruthy is a rock star cocktail.  John (SA) tries so hard but is still painful to watch bus a table and hold a tray.  It's been said over and over; he does take direction well.  I asked him to make sure that when he is setting up the sushi bar, that soy sauce dishes are not wet.  He made sure that he didn't do it again.  I'm hoping he gets faster when he becomes more comfortable

Any VIP's in?
My sister (Leah) and her friend (William)
A friend of Kate's at Sushi bar
Dusten came in to eat before manager meeting
Eliz's mortgage broker
There was a couple that spent a good amount at the sushi bar.  It was there first time here but I have a feeling they will be coming back a lot.  Had a great time.  Like... a really good time.  Could have been the sake too.  Tipped Camacho 100 bucks on $250.  They were cool; a little loud though

(Or don't need more of) Drink menus!!! I received a call this morning from Allstar Printing from Debbie saying that our drink menus were ready.  Don't we already have those? Anyway, she went ahead and delivered them even though I said that we already have new menus.  I have the invoice and the menus together below the computer monitor.  I don't think they should be opened until we know why we have extras; just in case they need to be returned.

Another note to mention:  A man found a wallet outside last night and came in today to see if anyone had called about it.  I haven't heard anything.  He was an interesting man... very talkative but, not in a you're weirding me out kinda way.  He left his info in case anyone calls about it.  He also left the man several voice mails.  I guess he found the guys number in his wallet.  Call "Dan" if anyone calls looking for a wallet at 306-815-0658
