Weather: Sunny but in the 60's. Hello first day of Fall? or is it Winter? Because it's certainly not spring.

Special events?:Last day of SxSW kinda. I mean, all the big shows were yesterday. Today everyone is just kind of trickling out.


Who worked: Ruthy, Grace, Krystin, Sophia CL. Chris/Kelly Hosted, John SA, Taylor FR

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Had a 25 top walk in. Followed by a 6 top. And then our 9 top reservation as well. Needless to say the day started off very busy and remained that way. Though all of our large parties came in earlier on so at least this time it was a little easier to manager. The noon reso for 9pm was Harry and some others. They didn't end up leaving until around 1:45 and split their bill in a way that it took Sophia nearly 10 minutes to get them closed out. The 1:30 reso of 9 was really understanding, however. I expo'd after the 25 top sat in order to keep things organized. Josh and Kumi worked Ramen station, while Matt held down Teishoku. We decided to do it that way (have Josh train Kumi) because Josh still wasn't strong at Teishoku and I knew we would be slammed today, so we had to have a game plan. Good thing, it worked out well. With both Kumi and Josh working Ramen, we were able to pump out the 25 tops food pretty quickly. I assisted with calling out lead tickets and Matt helped to drop Edamame while Kumi and Josh worked Ramen. Over all they killed it in the kitchen today. We all worked together and communicated so that all the tickets went out complete with no error. I've been expoing in the kitchen almost every Sunday now and that definitely seems to help keep things running smooth.

Around 1 I popped out on the floor. We were on a wait all afternoon for about 20 minutes.  Went off the wait around 2:15, made cuts then, went 2 on at 2:40, and Sophia and Ruthy closed it down.

There were few hiccups, just a busy day.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-I had to remind Taylor not to interfere with the line when I was expoing because I was the expo and he needed to run food and assist me, he kept trying to call tickets and move tickets around on the line. He was a little annoying to be honest. But he got it eventually.
-Josh did a great job training Kumi and staying on top of the busy Ramen station.
-Vanessa put the word out on Facebook that we need a dishwasher since Isaiah walked out last night (this also should have been conveyed to the AM Kitchen lead so we could have better prepared this morning) a girl named Ebony came in. I got her set up on hot schedules. She's looking for dishwashing nights.

R&M needs:
Petrocelli is going to call me tomorrow about repairing the ducting. No animal control came out today but it seems the problem fixed itself. Going forward, after I speak to petrocelli, all holes will be plugged.
