Weather: Hello Winter on the near first day of Spring. Like, whaaaaaaa??? 50's

Special events?: LAST day of SxSW

Who worked:
Clair, Camacho, Sayo, Ruthy, Dusten CL. Cindy CT, Kelly and I hosted, John FR, and Kaori SA

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Seemed like a busy start. We were on a wait when I arrived a little after 6. Had a lot of large parties walk in. As a matter of fact, the back A's stayed a 6/8 top all night. Even at 10pm we had a 6 top walk in. It was a little bizarre how many 6-8 tops walked in tonight. For a while the wait list was primarily 4+ tops then it was all 2 tops. Wait times only hit around 45 minutes, but had one 8-top end up waiting 1 hour due to a lingering 6 top. I was running the board and we went over their quote time by 10 minutes. They were very understanding.
Had 2 tables come in after we no showed them. One was just straight up late. The other one never got our text or call. AGAIN!
I had emailed support about that once already and they said they changed the text because some carriers won't accept it due to thinking it's spam. But now it's still not working. I will email again.

Cuts: Clair at 9:40, Camacho at 10, Sayo at 10:15.

Specials:

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-I noticed Ruthy's section needing constant watering. not sure if she was too busy to do it, or forgetting to do it, but it's definitely something she needs to work on.
-Kelly was on top of hosting tonight. Did a great job staying busy while I ran the board.
-Clair, again, was turning and burning wanting to make that money. Great attitude and very motivated tonight.

Any VIP's in?
saw a few familiar faces when I arrived, but everything after that was new faces.
Oh! Bill Norris, Bev Dir. Alamo came in for dinner solo, his wife was out on a girls night.

Comps& Void Detail:
voided some sapporos for Camacho, they hadn't gotten cold after being restocked.
voided 2 glasses Bride of Fox for Camacho, they ended up buying a bottle.

R&M needs:
Those lights over the A's apparently are being finicky
