Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Lunch was slow. I cut Kelly at 12:45, Mandy at 1:30, and Grace at 5 till close. Of course we have a 2 top walk in immediately after because that's life. No long ticket times or customer issues. Smooth day. Oh! One thing: reminding servers to be more specific for mods and add/ons so they can be deciphered correctly. Example: Mandy needed sauce of the side for a spooky and an alone together but the ticket did not read that way.

Dinner was slow to start as well. Didn't pick up until 7pm when EVERYONE came at once. Ben arrived at 6:30 and sat at A8 without ordering anything for 40 minutes until the rest of his party arrived. Little annoyed because we were on a 45 minute wait at that time but c'est la vie. He ended up staying a total of 3 hours.

Sushi bar got slammed with orders, from all stations. They did a really good job of keeping up, until around 9:30 roll times were hitting 40 minutes. There's lots of factors for this. The late pop. The 8pm reso never stopped ordering food for the 2.5 hours they dined in. A couple of double printed tickets because there's a ghost in the POS.

A single diner at B5 (sat at 9:30) waited 30 minutes for the only roll he order. Since I had a few extra rolls from Clair's double printed, I offered them to single guy at B5. He seemed happy and left a 25% tip. Stayed on a wait from 7pm until 9:30 when I cute Lizet, Kelly, Mandy, and Leary. Decided going two on would be fine since the restaurant was still full. Sat the last table at 9:50. Dining room was still over half full come 10:30 pm.

Noticed we're selling a lot more sashimi samplers now that it includes Blue Fin.

Specials:

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): Kelly. Needs to work on being more mindful of her surroundings. What's the word? Graceful. She's definitely clumsy and paired with John...you know glass is going to break at least once during the shift.

Otherwise, solid team for a Monday.

Maybe for next year, schedule the cocktail to come in at 7...?

Any VIP's in? Cole and David from Cheer Ups for lunch, Old John. Elizabeth's broker Ben, Leslie, some other familiar faces
