Who worked: LUNCH- Kelly, Sayo, Lindsey, Johnny (CL), Cindy (H), Chris (FR). John (SA)
DINNER- Krystin, Naoto, Camacho, Sophia (CL), Maverick & Kelly (H), Hiroe (FR), Kaori (SA)
Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Lunch servers had great energy, business was pretty slow in general. Never on a wait. No customer issues to note. Cut Kelly at 1 and Sayo at 1:15. Lindsey and Johnny held it down for the rest of service.
Dinner was chaotic at first. Four servers on because no one would pick up Kate's shift last minute. Naoto came in early so there would be two openers. Four separate parties were sitting in the lobby at 5 minutes to open. There was a huge rush for the first 20 minutes of service, with about half of the tables sat. Kitchen and sushi bar alike were cranking out food. Naoto, Krystin, and I actively helped run food, bring set ups, and water tables for each other. Jason Camacho showed up early, around 5:10, but didn't jump in to help when I asked if he was "here". I took the reigns at the host stand, which gave me a chance to see what Maverick could do. Because I was running around, it didn't give me time to inform Sophia that she didn't have B1, which she greeted, but the party room, which she figured out shortly after. When Kelly came in at 6pm, things evened out. Lots of 3's,4's, and 5's which utilized the new floor chart perfectly. On a wait by 6, which stay solidly around 25-35 minutes for most of the night. Around 8pm, the wait was primarily 2's. Died off around 9 when I cut Kelly and Krystin. I cut Naoto at 9:30 and Camacho at 9:45.
No long ticket times or customer issue. Everyone was hustling. Already spoke to Take about this: Endo rolls looked rather skinny. I saw Kumi prepping them during lunch.
I have an interview with Ara from Daruma on Friday at 2:30 for a potential SA.
Specials: Japanese Uni 4, Snow Crab 13, Hirame 9, Fried Botan Ebi 1
3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): Jason Camacho was in a weird mood when he got here but it never effected his work ethic, which I really commend him for. Not sure what's going on with him. He didn't say a peep.
Maverick was a vast improvement from yesterday. He's still really new to hosting, so it's just a matter of learning the ropes and feeling confident. Kelly was big help in mentoring him. He'll need consistent prompting until everything becomes second nature.
Krystin is so helpful to her teammates. It's beyond amazing! Sometimes I wish more of the servers were as caring as she is. I tried to give her a gift card for her endless efforts but she asked for Kome bucks instead. I obliged.
