Special events?: South by Daylight Savings Day


Who worked: Kate, Stephanie, Mandy, Clair, Camacho CL, Miriam, H, Ruthy Cktl, John FR and Eric SA.

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Fairly busy. We filled up quick and stayed on a wait for most of the night. We had one party waiting at 9:30 when we went two on. Only a few tables after then. Had a few fry items approach 25 minute ticket times.

Specials:

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): john is always very helpful. Even when he isn't already doing us a favor by covering someone else's shift he regularly displays the sort of team work mentality I wish everyone would embrace. He got a gift card for $25 to Thai Fresh. Couldn't find any Pinthouse Pizza cards.
-Eric can get a little disorganized but I think he is learning and getting into his rhythm. A little redirection is about all he needs if he happens to get off task. His efficiency will develop with practice. He definitely needs to be reminded to keep his tray and rag clean. More than a couple of times I saw his tray looking pretty rough. Just rotating rags through the snitizer and running onbe over his tray every so often will make all the difference.
Overall everyone did very well tonight. The energy was frantic at times, but all in all a pretty smooth shift.

Any VIP's in? old John, Take's friend Tai, some other faces I recognized and many I didn't.
One guy very early on... Let me back up. Kate came to me in a huff at about 6pm and asked why she had a single person sat at B2. I asked Miriam about it and she said that he wanted a big table all to himself so he could do some work. He had asked to move from S12. I worked it out with him to move to A4 once it was available. He obliged and that was the end of it. Sent him a beer for his trouble and talked at length with him about the menu as it was his first time, he 'had worked at a sushi restaurant,' and wanted recommendations.
