Weather: 70's, on and off raining

Special events?: Reggae Fest


Who worked: Kelly, Camacho, Clair, Miho, Dusten (CL), John (SA),

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Busy! Interesting ebb and flow. Waves of people coming in when it wasn't raining and then it would die off when it started to drizzle again. Consistent wait of 45-1 hour from 6pm until 10:15 pm. Party room resos booked the entire night.

No customer issue or long tickets from the kitchen. Some 30 minute tickets from the sushi bar but people were understanding and their meals were coursed out appropriately.

 The 9:00 reso had over a $1,000 tab, most of it being nigiri. 9 pieces each of Hon Maguro, Toro, Hama Toro, Sake Toro, Madai, Suzuki, Aji, Tako, Katuso, King Salmon, Botan Ebi, Ankimo, Ikura, Tobiko, Spicy Scllop, Tanin Bune, Kurosawa, Duck & Foie, and Japanese Uni! They essentially cleaned out our stock of sushi. Kazu and Spencer did a great job managing such a large order, with Kalynn jumping in when maki station slowed down. Camacho and I bought Kazu and Spencer a beer for their efforts.

Cut Chelsea at 10, Kelly and Camacho at 10:10, Clair at 10:30

Specials: Japanese Uni, Snow Crab, Red Devil Roll (I forgot to plug in the numbers for this but I have a note: Let's run more specials. The Red Devil Roll sold really well this weekend.)

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): Miriam and Chelsea hosted and had a hard time finding their groove with one another. They were taking turns seating people and running the iPod. It always seem to feel more confusion this way. I finally got them to pick positions and things ran smoothly for the night.

No other stand outs. Great teamwork all around.

Any VIP's in? The Drako family was in at 5pm. Jason Camacho and Clair were both in Kelly's ear about how to wait on them, which was frustrated to me as the manager and Kelly as the server. I know they were just trying to help. However, she was immediately overwhelmed and put in their order before greeting them, per Clair's directions. They wanted to change their order and luckily I caught the confusion before anything was made by mistake. Kelly never quite shook off her nervousness with the Drakos, as they kept calling Miho over. However, Kelly was fine for the rest of the night.

Lindsey Creel. That was it!
