Who worked:
AM Johnny, Clair, Kate.  Junko (Host), Hiroe (FR) Erika (SA)

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
AM- We were short a sever again this morning so Johnny came in a little bit early to help out.  Lunch was really busy today.  Since we were short staffed Junko kept a waitlist so that no one would get completely slammed.  Wait was only about 15 - 20 minutes and lasted until 1:45.  The lunch that just wouldn't quit!  The kitchen got a little backed up today.  When I went back there to check it out Ziggy had tickets completely across the board and more in the printer.  Noticed a 20 minute ticket time for a ramen.  The lady ended up taking it to go but wasn't upset about the wait.  No one was cut today
PM-Really smooth night.  We went on a 15 - 20 minute wait from 6:30 to 8:30.  No long ticket times.  Cut Clair and Kate at 8:30 and finally Grace at 9:45.

Specials:
6 BF Nigiri
5 BF Toro
7 Tsukiji set
14 Hama toro carpaccio

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
AM - Everyone really pitched in and helped a lot today.  Clair was really tired but kept her head down and powered through until the end.  I never have to worry about Johnny.  He asks for help when he needs to keep himself out of the weeds.  Junko did a great job pacing out tables to keep from double or triple seating servers.  At the end (and 15 minutes before close) I had her just all the parties waiting.  There were maybe 3.  I think Johnny took them all.
PM- Hiroe is a great food running.  Super quick and always has a smile on her face.  Everyone helped out everyone.  Koari was quick to get tables turned and reset properly.  Still seeing lots of near empty water glasses on tables.  One of the girls tonight, I think it may have been Mandy, even mentioned that she couldn't keep her tables waters full.  It might help if we could fit a couple water pitchers on the side server station as well
