Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Right at the start of Business Daniel told me we didn't have any rice, except for maybe 3 donburi bowls worth. He said the rice cooker turned off and no one noticed. Both he and Jo said that the flame gets blown out frequently and you have to constantly check that it's on. Not sure if that is an issue I can get someone out to fix or if we just need a new one. Would love some other opinions on the matter.
Luckily, the shift started slow and by the time we had rice we were just starting to fill up. We were pretty steady throughout the afternoon. Just got crazy pushes all day. No one for 15 minutes, then 10 tables within 10 minutes, then no one, then everyone. So odd. I didn't make cuts until after 1pm. Kate was cut a little after 1, then Grace was cut at 1:45. The place was full until about 2:40. Despite being full all day, sales were not as high as I anticipated.
No long ticket times other than 25 minute sushi lunch.
On a side note, Kalynn needs to work on her sashimi cuts. I order sake-toro for lunch and the pieces were really narrow looking and one was just kinda mushy. I've seen a review or two on Yelp recently complaining about the way the fish was cut. I almost wonder if that happened on her Ichiban shifts? Just something to be aware of.
3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Overheard Johnny letting Lindsey know it was getting close to last call. really great at being proactive.
-No other standouts today.

86'd items/ need more:
Still out of Seaweed Salad. We've been out since Saturday I believe. What's going on with it?
Kalyn is under training cutting sashimi piece. I read Yelp review too and I talked Kazu this morning before Kalynn got here that I want him to supervise her sashimi cut. So I believe we are working on her sashimi training. On the other hand, her nigiri were look good.
ReplyDeleteAbout seaweed salad, I told Matt to get some seaweed salad at restaurant depot on Saturday morning. Maybe he forgot? (He was off Monday and Tuesday).
However we are using 1 box seaweed salad every day. And 1 or 2 more boxes when there is uber eats. So we need 8 boxes/ week. I will remind Matt and Daniel to order enough seaweed salad.
