Who worked: Grace, Ruthy, Sophia, Mandy CL. Jason FR,
Chris asked if she could keep her phone at the host stand in case there is an emergency with her mother. I didn't dig any further than that. She said that she won't actively be texting or anything, but just in case of an emergency. Also, Mandy said she would ask Chris if she has a Pronoun preference- therefore if Chris identifies with the male gender she can call Chris He and Him.

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
It was a pretty slow day. The sushi bar never filled up but the dining room remained steady. I didn't make any cuts until 2:15 because every week we get a 2pm pop. This week not so much but we did get a walk in 6 top (on top of an already sat 6 top in the party room) and a few other tables after that, so I held off on cuts until later. Cut down to just Mandy at ten til.No other tables came in after that.

I've noticed latelt that the Noodles have been tasting extra starchy. I checked on them early on in the shift (about 45 minutes after open) and they were starchy. So hector shook them out more and that seemed to help. But there's definitely something going on with that flat top or something that has been affecting the noodles. Can't put my finger on it though

Taylor was food running today and ran a pork katsu to B7 when it should have been a curry with pork. Also a few ramens went out without all of their toppings, i.e: pork belly. I spoke with Taylor about being proactive about looking at the plates and being thorough, as well as going around the table to deliver food instead of reaching over- especially if he's reaching over a baby while holding a tray of hot soups. I had a near heart attack when I saw him do that.

In other news: I posted a sign up sheet for the Cap 10k. Once I have everyone's registration I will get everyone signed up. I have sheets for those that want to run to sign up with. If anyone fills one out just put in in my folder on the wall in the office. Thanks

Specials:

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Mandy's attitude has seen a big upswing as well as her teamwork and work ethic. I even overheard he say to Cindy and Chris "Can you please make sure you are saying Irrashaimase, I'm not hearing it". Keeping them in check! But she said it very politely, I overheard.

-Chris did well host training today. She's a little timid but I think she'll open up in time.

-Jason Clarke was here. That's about it. Attitude seemed on the better side of not.

Any VIP's in?

R&M needs:
I am emailing Jenna at Cen.Tex Refuse about how the dumpster was put back. It's not even in the perimeter of the fence. I took a picture of it. Hopefully the new dumpster will arrive tomorrow, since it was overflowing this morning.
