3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): Kate was fussy early on. Asking people to run rolls with only 3 of her four tables being sat. She complained about being triple sat. I don't know how she could have been triple sat, but only have 3 tables in her section actually occupied and one of those tables already having a large roll order ready. She caught her stride eventually, but it was an odd start.
Miriam had another table get sat out of order. This one wasn't as nefarious as Friday's line cutters, but I did remind her (and Chris) to stay vigilant and sharp- especially in case their are some hangry line-hawks waiting.
Taylor may be showing signs of improvement. Not only tonight but others have I noticed him helping bus in his down time as FR. I think that is important to have FR's that know how to help on the floor too. At one point I stopped him from going back to the kitchen after walking by a sushi bar that had cleared out all at once and asked him to help bus. He turned right back around and did it. I wish I didn't have to ask- but I don't think he is that observant yet.

There was a large collective groan among most of those who worked dinners this weekend when we ordered pizza for the 3rd consecutive night. I wish I had a suggestion for an alternative, but I'm certain most everyone would appreciate almost anything else next time. I ordered a salad just to go along with all the bread and cheese. Just something to consider in the future.

Any VIP's in? Tim League of Alamo Drafthouse, some regulars, Matsumoto- friends of Kayo.

Comps& Void Detail:So many tonight. Diet coke- owner comp (Kenta got it).
void hamachi kama- 86'd.
void quail egg
someone (no one would confess) ran B7's nigiri to B5. They were similar orders with a couple pieces difference. Stephanie stopped the sushi bar from making B5's order because they had gotten what they ordered plus a couple extra pieces. Stephanie said B5 was happy to pay for what they ate. I asked Take to remake the order for B7 which I rang in and then comped to recovery. B7 was very understanding and sweet about the situation. (uni, ikura, 2x  tako, hamachi and hokki)
