Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Lunch was tame by comparison to the rest of the week. No waits. We did have people walk in at 2pm but only a table or two. Ticket times were fine. No issues I was aware of.  I cut Sayo at 1:15pm, Kate at 1:30pm and Lindsey at 1:45pm.
Dinner was busy. We went on wait at approximately 6pm and stayed full until 8:30pm at least. I cut Sayo and Jason Clarke then. I cut Naoto at 8:45pm. I let Camacho go at about 9:15pm and left Leary and Sophia to shut it down. We had a steady trickle of tables come in right up until we closed.

Specials: 7 poke, 5 salmon kama, 2 hamachi kama, 6 tempura special

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): Naoto handled the lunch sushi bar with no problem. I didn't anticipate any issues considering the volume he deals with at Daruma but other were concerned.
-Kate pulled an odd one today. The sushi bar was full with food needing to go to tables and all of it was her's. I saw her in the server station and relayed to her that she had lots of food up. She said "okay," and started to walk off with a water pitcher and a CC slip. I offered to take the pitcher and fill waters so she could run her food. She started to protest but didn't get far. I got to her section with the water and there was maybe one person who had a glass less than half-full. I don't know if she just expected me to run all of her food or what... I'm always happy to help, but I'm not gonna do her job for her.
-Jason Clarke got the 12 days for the lunch shift. A little recognition goes a long way with him and I could tell he appreciated it. He has worked here for a long time and dealt with some disappointments. For having no experience in the industry he has come a long way.
-Patricia took the 12-days gift for the PM. She is new but catching on quick to lots of things and has an admirable work ethic.

Got Orlando put into the POS system. His clock in is his last 4 of his SS. I got his hours put in as well. Sophia helped with the new hire packet. Bought her a glass of Jules Taylor for her troubles.

Server's are getting anxious about their payouts for the gift card contest. Kate and Camacho specifically.

 

Any VIP's in? Jason Camacho brought an old friend in. Several lunch regulars. Tara and Kelvin. Taylor Kirk and his girlfriend. James and Ingrid. My roommate Shawna and a friend.

Comps& Void Detail: Taylor (SA) forgot to bring cash for his food, so I voided it and rerang it when he came in to work PM shift. Samara used some Kome bucks for her lunch. Kome bucks to Taylor and his GF- he is such a picky eater, and judging from their modifications, she is too, so I had no idea what to send them. Emp day off for Camacho. void poisson cru- 86'd. yakitori- guest changed mind ( they meant yakiniku). void ikura- DNL. void shishamo- 86'd (foreverrr) void ankimo kobachi 86'd. FNF for Shawna.

R&M needs:
Trash is GONE! Seems like they sent out a truck overnight and Matt got the dumpster full again before another one came this morning. All that was left were boxes not yet broken down.

There are a couple of receipts with tips that I cashed out. One is for the catering order and another is for a gift card. I don't know how to allocate those tips to the sushi bar, so I just left them in front of the computer monitor.


86'd items/ need more: poisson cru, katsuo, aji, ankimo, takowasa, tako karaage, foie gras nigiri, shishamo, candy canes, hon maguro, toro, pork belly
