Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Today was probably one of the worst shifts I've worked in a long time. It was very trying. Ticket times for both kitchen items and sushi bar items were hitting 30 minutes. For sushi bar it was the rolls that were taking 30 minutes, and for the kitchen it was mostly anything that came from the Fry station. I had a 30 minute gyoza that a pork katsu beat to a table, even though the ticket read As App. Guests were not very understanding today either. I did a few Kit Error comps- so expect for our Controlable comps tomorrow morning to be pretty high.

B3 ordered a Buta Kimchi and Ruthy repeated it back to them, but when it came out they said it should have been a Chicken Katsu. Their food had already taken 30 minutes and we were still waiting for a Ten Zaru to hit the table for position 4 as well. I comp'd the ten zaru & chicken katsu, as well as the buta kim chi. The guy was on Yelp when I dropped his chicken katsu off. So be ready.

S8 had a sushi lunch that took a while because the ticket got lost.

S12's sashimi lunch needed to be remade because Krystin ran the wrong one to her table

Apple Pie Gyoza took 25 minutes because Kazu dropped Harumaki instead of Apple Pie Spring Rolls.

I feel like it would have been beneficial to put 2 people on Fry today.

And right after I thought we were out of the woods, and were closed, A1 complained that his salmon was over cooked. I looked at it and it looked pretty dry.

We stayed busy from noon until about 1:30. I made cuts at 1:40 (2 on) and that was that.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Sophia was training Ruthy on her last training shift today. Despite all of the craziness and angry guests, Sophia still kept a good attitude about her. She also gave Ruthy $20 at the end of her shift to reward her for a job well done.
-Johnny handled the volume well today and kept a positive attitude all shift. Lately he's seemed stressed with moving, etc, so it's good to see him back to his usual happy self.
-Lindsey also kept a great positive attitude all day. (well, while I'm at it Krystin too)

Any VIP's in?
No regulars today...oh, Global Catch guy. That was it.
