Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Mellow start today.  Started getting full just after noon.  We never went on an official wait but did have some incomplete parties wait for the rest to show before sat. I cut Sayo at 1 and then Joel at 1:30 since it was staring to die down.  Of course we got a last minute pop which kept Sophia and Johnny busy.  No long ticket times today that I noticed.


Specials: None today

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
In preshift we talked about working as a team.  Helping each other out by prebussing, watering tables and helping run food.  I saw Joel helping out John bus tables.  Speaking of Joel.  He told me today that he is taking a second job and will need to go down to 3 shifts per week.  He's not exactly sure when this needs to start and will let us know.  This may explain some of his lack of motivation here.
I asked Jason Clark. how Chisato was doing in training and he said that she seemed really nervous and kind of out of place.  He feels like she needs a couple more days of training before she hits the floor by herself.  I had a conversation with her, just to see how she felt and she asked if there was a spot in the kitchen for prep.  She just doesn't feel comfortable at all. I passed all this along to Kayo

Any VIP's in? Echo (former employee)
