Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Crazy busy. Went on a wait by 5:45 didn't come off the wait until 9:30. Had lots of large parties walk in! Had a 6, and an 8 nearly back to back, had a bunch of 5's, and then had a 10 top of UT girls come in and expected to only wait 30 minutes. When I told them it would be an hour, they got all uppity. Then they said it was going to be 15 of them. I told them that it would definitely be another hour. They scoffed and walked out. One girl gave me the dirties of looks. Entitled brats.

No major ticket time errors. Had a gyoza almost go out that was a bit well done. I had Hector make a new one. Also saw a Yaki-onigiri that looked crispy but wasn't too bad. Not sure why there was a lot of "crispy" looking dishes going out.
Around 9pm we were hitting 30 minute ticket times for rolls, partly due to the fact that party room, an 8 top of young UT ladies, all ordered 2 rolls each. I don't believe there was any complaints regarding the ticket times for rolls however. I think Dusten was talking to his A1 about where their rolls were when I showed up with them. Potential Crisis Averted?

Had another 6 top get quoted an hour, then wait about an hour and ten minutes. Some were understanding, some were not. But we got them sat. Ruthy had all the campers tonight. A8 sat for 3 hours, A7 for almost 2 hours. Oh and B4 sat for 1:45 with a tab of merely $18...it was a camper kind of night.

All in all, smooth.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Yeah. Taylor really needs some coaching. 6 out of 8 times a table got up, Kelly and I would tag team it before he even got to it.
-Kate was also a slow mover tonight. She was in the back B's and I felt like, with the tables she had she could have been more present with them. But she had a good attitude So I guess that's a win.

Any VIP's in?
John & Veronica. Live off 45th street. Come 3-4 times per month. Received our newsletter. Super sweet couple. Good looking too! Veronica has a gorgeous complexion and beautiful long dark hair. (for future reference). Their favorite items are the Tsukemono, Texas Surf-n-turf, and Tori-Teba.

R&M needs:
Please tell your departments that if they take something from the tool box (or anywhere for that fact) to PUT IT BACK. I needed the red wrench to change the CO2 tonight and couldn't find it anywhere. Daniel and I both looked for it, then he finally found it at Dishpit. Can we please have this explained to our Spanish speaking employees as well? Thank you.

86'd items/ need more:
Mex Coke.
Yes, I will pick up more cold Sake Glasses- we ran out again tonight due to the fact that the new Farm Salad uses 2 per order. We have more pints, they are on top of the teas in the service station.
