Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
on a wait by 5:40 and off the wait at 9:30. Wait times hit an hour and fifteen minutes. A good mix of 2's-5's. Had a few 3 tops wait over their quote time but Cindy talked to all of them and they were understanding. After it slowed down it really slowed down. I don't know if it was the rain keeping people away or what. But I went 2 on at 10pm and I cut Jason & Cindy at 10:30. We had 3 tables come in right then but that was it.

The kitchen seemed to struggle tonight- mostly fry station. Steve double made a few things, one being an Ebi Fry. Daniel threw it in the fridge and they tried to reuse it for B6 later in the night, but B6 (who were regulars...names unknown) said it tasted greasier than usual. I knew exactly why and comp'd it off the tab. I would have liked to see Daniel jump in and help out a little more tonight, though there weren't ever that many tickets on the line, Steve was just not with it.

A note about Tuesday night: I don't know if there is something going on, but I took 2 reservations for dinner tonight alone. So it might be a busier than normal Tuesday night. I'll be the mgr on duty, so I guess I'm really just talking to myself at this point.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-I had Miriam run the board tonight, just to see how she would do and for the most part she did alright. She misquoted 3 parties, took a 3 top down as a 2 top, but other than just being a little slow to seat the open tables, she did well.
-Jason Clarke again just doing his own thing at his own pace. Tonight, he wore his "server" apron. Really wanted to flaunt it I think.
-Clair had a great positive attitude tonight. Not that she had any reason not be have one, but I think compared to her severely hung over self yesterday she was back to her normal self.
