Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Usual Friday night. On a wait by 6 which reached it's peak between 7-8:30 with 45minute-1 hour for all parties. Couple large parties walked in tonight: an 8 top that was quoted an hour and a half and a 6 top. No long ticket times or customer issue other than a man not liking his Kaki Fry because it was "too breaded". DNL for that. To each their own.

Around 8:30, the wifi was going in and out. I had Kelly and Lizet take a count and have a back up list in case the IPad reset itself. It was a good training experience for all of us. They made a really good team, especially for training on a Friday night. Johnny hooked up his Iphone to the bluetooth so the restaurant continued to have music. The wifi came back on around 9:30. No idea why exactly this happened but it thankfully it was only the wifi!

Premiere night for new system of cuts. Think it worked out well. Cut Sophia at 10, Lindsey at 10:15, Leary at 10:30, and Johnny at 10:45.

Contest for beverage Bingo. It's a difficult contest to win but as Sophia put it "incentive to sell drinks we don't normally push". Dusten won. Awarded him a $50 gift card to Olive & June/Parkside.

Sophia bought a bottle of house white at cost.

Specials: Farm Salad 7, Snow Crab 24, Kaki Fry 12, Hamachi Kama 4

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): Kelly has made a huge turn around. I think that training Lizet has helped her properly prioritize. Her approach with customers, quote times, and multiasking has improved. She was a big help in keeping her cool with the stress of the wifi not working. I bought her a glass of sake for doing such a fantastic job tonight.

Lindsey led by example for helping out her server team mates. Superstar!

Cindy was confident for her cock tailing training. I'm excited for her.

Any VIP's in? Jay, Kenny, Scott & Laura (of Yard Bar and Wonderland), Chance
