Who worked: Camacho, Krystin, Sayo, Kate, Clair CL, Miriam and Chris Hosting, Hiroe traiing Maverick at FR and Grace Cktl.

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Certainly busier than I expected considering the weather. We opened with a few tables walking in immediately and were full by 6:15pm. Wait times never went over 30 minutes. People seemed reluctant to venture out into the elements after their meal, so it typically happened in waves. Sushi bar was busy. Ticket times approached 30 minutes at the most. Things quieted down at 8pm but didn't exactly die out. We had a steady stream of tables right up until about 9:30pm. I cut Grace at 8, Camacho at 8:15pm, Krystin at 8:25pm and then Sayo at about 9:10pm. Clair and Kate closed it down with no problem.

Specials:

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): Ran a couple of contests. One was a sales contest on nigiri specials. We only had the snow crab and japanese uni so I didn't print out specials cards, but relied on the servers to move product. Clair sold the most. Gave her $15 kome bucks.
-The other contest was basically who could help out in the SA department. Krystin won that one. She was all over the place. Bussing tables, resetting them, filling the ice, the waters. Even after she was cut she continued to work outside her section until her tables were gone.
-Chris was also very helpful today- almost as much as Krystin. Chris asked about
Kome bucks so I gave him some to hand out. I've been telling everyone to be sure and put their initials on the backs so that we can track who is referring people to us. I wanted to give Chris a $10 runner up helper prize, but he disappeared pretty much right after he was cut.
-Maverick seems pretty savvy regarding food running, but I wouldn't get too comfortable with him yet. He needs to be louder when bringing up food through the server station. Also Hiroe told me she has been training him exclusively. As a result him saying "behind" has the same inflection as hers.

Any VIP's in? Old John, Kazu's friends/roommates.

Comps& Void Detail: 2 kome buck cards. 2 japanese uni- Grace ordered some but we were in limited supply. voided an Iced Green Tea- Clair forgot we were out of them.

R&M needs: There is a leak in roof in the kitchen.
Do we have a wet floor sign? Seems like it would be a good idea, considering how slick our floors get when wet.

86'd items/ need more: Lots. soft serve, uni, geoduck, parfait, madai, wishing well sake, quail egg, iced green tea, suzuki, shime saba.
