Special events?: Countdown to SXSW


Who worked: Lindsey, Grace, Mandy, Clair (CL),

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: We only had one opener today because Kate called in sick. I did all the wasabi/ginger trays while Grace did the rest of the opening side work. For next time a server calls in sick, especially early enough in the day, can we get someone to cover their shift? Or at the very least call the others servers scheduled to work and adjust their IN times? There's no way one person could accomplish all opening duties solo.

It ended up being fine with four on...not very busy overall. The calm before the SXSW storm. On a brief wait from 6:30-7:50. Some tables trickled in here and there after 9pm. Had quite a few campers but it didn't effect quotes times. Average quote was 20-30 minutes. Cut Lindsey at 9, Cindy at 9:15, Grace at 9:30, and Mandy at 9:45.

No long ticket times and the only customer issue was B7...they are Tuesday regular. They usually have Mandy wait on them. Tonight it was Lindsey and they were picky about the order of their food came out. In my opinion: they ordered a lot of food for 4 people. I find it quite strange that they were annoyed how quickly it was all coming out. Lots of rolls, hand rolls, sashimi, and multiple orders of Poke sat at the pass for 10-15 minutes at any given time, just to give them the food experience they wanted. Hmm. Some people.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): Ran a contest for best hustle--Lindsey won. She was great at turning tables and had the majority of covers for the night. I gave second place to Cindy. They both were in constant motion and helpful to their team mates. I gave them each a bottle The Dirty Pure Project.


Any VIP's in? Scott & Carolyn, Rachel & Carlos, Elizabeth's realtor Ben, and Alison, bartender at Yellowjacket. (She comes in to eat solo a lot or with her identical twin sister Emily, who works at Uncommon Objects on South Congress)
