Weather: So muggy it's like walking through butter...yuck

Special events?: Levitation Fest CANCELLED, 2nd Annual International Drag Fest! (go downtown this weekend...Drag Queens everywhere!)


Who worked: Camacho, Lindsey, Johnny, Sophia, Dusten (CL), Taylor (FR), John (SA), Kelly & Chelsea (H)

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Typical busy Friday night. On a wait by 6. Mostly 2-tops and a couple of large walk in parties. Back to back 7 tops (one of them being Nathan & friends in town for Levitation Fest...boo it's cancelled) , so A3/A7 were put together all night. Other than sushi bar tickets hitting 40-50 minutes for the maki station and one DNL for a Yoshizo roll, there were no real customer issues.

At this point in the game, we need to figure out a solution to the sushi bar getting backed up. It's happening every week now. It's clear to me that 4 Sushi Men, even our fastest crew, cannot handle the demands as we continue to get busier.

Cut Kelly, Camacho, and Lindsey at 10. Cut Johnny at 10:30, and Sophia at 10:45.

Specials: Snow Crab 19, Japanese Uni 3, Hirame 13

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): I've noticed great improvement from Taylor since his evaluation. I gave him an Alamo gift card for being proactive with the constructive criticism he received.

Chelsea and Kelly hosting is the new dream team. I don't have to hover over the host stand nearly as much and they work really well together...maybe it's because their friends outside of work? Anyway, I bought their dinner which I comped under employee Kome bucks.

Eric & Vivian tipped Sophia $30 on a $70 tab! Glad I had the foresight to purposely put them in her section. The hosts were going to seat them in Lindsey section but I knew they would be happier with Sophia's style of service. Attention to detail, am I right?

Any VIP's in? Vivian and Eric, George Washington, Nathan, Rachel & Carlos
