Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: SLOOOOWWWW start to lunch. Lots of events going on around town today. There were only 50 covers by 1pm when I cut Stephanie. Started to fill up around 2pm. I cut Grace at 2:30 and kept two on until close. No long ticket times or customer issues. The soft serve machine was making a funny noise, so Take turned it off and we were 86'd all shift.

Specials:

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): I caught Kumi shoveling nigiri in to her mouth in the kitchen around 2pm. I had all the of the kitchen read and sign the policy sheet. Also, she hasn't been wearing a Kome shirt when working - I corrected this as well.

Chelsea is a great addition to the host team. She said she would be willing to cross train as well. I can already tell she's going to be a stronger host - she's just the right balance of polite and assertive.

Is there something we can do about when employee food is to be made? Chelsea's tempura was made at 2:05pm...I went back to the kitchen and Hector had already started Kazu's ramen (broth not seperated), etc. I usually ring in orders well before 2:30 so I don't forget. Sometimes these items are made immediately and then end up sitting out for an upwards of 45 minutes. Specifically with hot food, I asked Matt to start employee food at 2:30, even if they are rung in earlier. Sushi bar is pretty good about pushing orders until the end.

Any VIP's in? Lauren (messy haired girl), Drew, Kelly
