Special events?: Thanksgiving week

*Jesse (new dishwasher) isn't able to work this weekend (Fri - Sun). He is transferring his probation to Austin and his PO won't be able to do that until Monday and won't allow him to work.  I asked him to release his shifts on Hot Schedules.

*Miho (SA) put in her notice today.  She will be going to Daruma full time.  Next Wednesday will be her last shift here


Who worked:
AM - Clair, Johnny, Lindsey, Naoto, Erika (SA), Jason (FR), Junko (FR)
PM - Clair, Grace, Camacho, Lindsey, Sophia, Cindy/Jason C (Hosts), Hiroe (FR), Miho (SA)

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
AM - Slow start today.  People seemed to trickle in.  Lots of kids!  We went on a quick wait around 12:45 and came off of it by 1:15.  Cut Clair then and Lindsey at 1:30.  The kids just kept coming... Everything ran really smooth this afternoon.  No long ticket times and everyone was a happy camper

PM - Our 5:00 and 9:00 reservations canceled right off the bat tonight.  Starting filling up around 6.  On a 30 minute wait by 6:30.  Half the restaurant  cleared out around 7:10.  Sat the remaining tables waiting and then went back on a wait at 7:30 quoting 20 - 30 minutes.  Kalynn misread a ticket that was 2 Negi Toro hand rolls and 1 Hamachi hand roll.  First attempt was 1 of each.  Drew asked for another Toro and we received a Negi Toro skinny roll.  Third times the charm!  Finally got it out.  The whole ordeal only took 12 minutes but....  We over quoted most tables tonight because people were eating and leaving quick.  Not a bad thing.  We were off the wait at 9 so I cut Clair and then Lindsey at 9:15.  Finally cut Camacho at 9:45
I had the servers empty soy sauces tonight since we are closed for turkey day


Specials:
Salmon Collar 1
Hamachi Collar 2

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
I saw Johnny several times walking around and helping prebus in his down time.  He's always really good about helping out.
Lindsey toughed it out with me all day.  Never once complained about being tired and did a great job with her tables
Not much to really write about today.  Everything was smooth for the most part.

R&M needs:
A lady with the Health Dept. stopped in today because two businesses (Love Balls and Sugar Addict Bakery) have listed us as an offsite kitchen.  She did a quick inspection and noticed that the cold water from the kitchen hand sink doesn't work.  The plumber will be here Friday morning before we open to check it out.  The report is in my box
