Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
The cold brought everyone in early, which I sort of expected. The Party room that had a meeting at 4pm kept Miho on her toes. Around 5:15 3 more people arrived and we were cramming chairs in the room to fit everyone. It got a little hairy for a second because of the shuffling around and then people ordering drinks at the same time, but I got everyone set up and Miho was able to get the drinks going at that time.
By 6pm we were on a wait with several 4 and 5 tops. Then the two tops arrived around 7, but still a few more 5's intermingled. Had a party of 6 kids and 4 adults in the party room at 7pm which, again, kept Miho on her toes.
Throughout the night, though there were no long tickets from the kitchen, they seemed pretty tame all night. The sushi bar got hit pretty hard and we had some 30 minute ticket times around the start of the pick up (around 5:50) and still got a few more later on due to the massive amount of rolls being ordered. No tables raised any concern over it, so that was good. Business died down around 9:30 at which point I made cuts: Cindy, Miho, Clair. I went 2 on at 10pm. It died after that with only 2 more tables coming in. I cut Miriam & Taylor at 10:30.The last table came in at 10:30...and stayed until midnight talking, unbeknownst to themselves.

On a side note: Daniel, twice tonight you received personal phone calls. Once from your Uncle and once from your Step-dad. Please advise your family to stop calling here and only call your cell phone. We are not your personal answering service (those cost money)

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-I was trying to observe Kate tonight to see why exactly she falls behind. She did a good job in the Back B's tonight and anytime I saw her I would call her attention to her sushi bar food and have her run it. With her it just might be about creating awareness.
-Sayo was turning and burning tables tonight. Super star tonight!
-Miho did an amazing job handling the 5pm party along with her other tables, as well as her 7pm reso with 6 kids that were running all over the place She's so professional and poised.

Any VIP's in?

Comps& Void Detail:
voided a few items: guest changed mind.
FNF comp for a Kaki fry for Kannika


R&M needs:
I'm going to email Jeanna about the trash truck breaking the gate. I'm getting a little fed up with the service we have received from them (or the lack of service and communication regarding the gate the first time)

86'd items/ need more:
Rice Cripsies for Parfait
House Red: for the record, we sold through the 15 bottles we had. Typically we don't sell more than 6-8 bottles per week on the regular. Proves my theory once again. Don't order it, and it will sell.
