Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Started really busy right at 5. Filled up but then it mellowed out around 6:45. From about 7pm-7:15 there were no new tables. Then right at 7:30 everyone came in (was there a bus that just dropped all these strangers off?) and we were on a 30 minute wait. It subsided around 8:40 and I cut Clair and Mandy (my doubles). It died after that. I cut down to 2 on at 9:10 and I think maybe one more table came in. A really weird flow to tonight. Thought sales would be higher, but that lull in between happy hour and the dinner rush really killed us, not to mention the last hor.

Launched the Sx Specials tonight, and Ruthy sold some Kosmic Punch, I sold a Jester King, no one sold a 4th tap :(
.
3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-I put Grace in the middle Bs because we had 2 doubles. She did okay. Kind of got triple sat with the party room and B2/3 but asked for helped and pulled through
-Ruthy was a little frazzled at the beginning of her shift, maybe a little too hyper, but found her rhythm after a while
-Lou needs to speak out. She's very soft spoken, and I'm afraid she won't be able to assert herself in the right situation. Think, new hire Cindy. Now Cindy is great! Just need Lou to get there too.

Any VIP's in?
New faces tonight all around!

Comps& Void Detail:
Voided some misring miso soups for Camacho and Ruthy

R&M needs:
I got some fun organizational toys for the Service station. I got a letter sorter for them to place their sushi cards in if they want to hold on to them (instead of stuffing them in the rail) and I got another magazine file for the left side POS. I put the check presenters in a seaweed salad container and they are now on the shelf with the tea/coffee pots.

I also bought Lysol for the mens room. It still smells really bad and every time I go in there later in the night there always seems to be a puddle of water on the floor. Not sure if it's sloppy guests or if it's leaking from somewhere but every time I look inside the cabinet I don't see an issue. I'll keep my eye on it.

I also asked the servers to stock a few pint glasses in the cooler in the case that anyone wants a Jester King Beer to themselves. The jester king beer is the same size as the Kirin 22oz, by the way. Fun fact. Let the servers know that so it will be an easier sell if the name doesn't sell itself. I also told the staff they were free to purchase a Jester King Beer for themselves to take home and taste. They are $10 for employees. I know we have some beer nerds here.

I made a button for the Kosmic Kombucha in case any guests want to purchase just that to drink. They are $6. I also made an employee kombucha button, they are $3 for staff purchase.
