Who worked: Grace for Leary, Mandy, Camacho, Clair CL, Ruthy CKTL, Hiroe FR, John SA, Miriam and Maverick hosting.
Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Busy at the start. We filled up at 5:45pm. People kept coming in so we went on a 45 minute wait at 6pm. Consequently maki times were about the same as the wait for a table. Things calmed around 8:15pm. I cut Ruthy at 8:30pm. I cut Grace and Miriam at 8:45pm. Mandy cut at 9:15pm. Left Camacho and Clair on to close.
Specials: 19 japanese uni, 16 smoking sashimi, 8 apple pie spring roll
3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): No standouts, but that doesn't mean anyone didn't do a great job tonight. Everyone was on point. Any issues were resolved professionally, and no one was slacking. Really refreshing.
Basilio needs to work on his aim in the bathroom. I won't go into details, but I learned some new words in espanol.
Any VIP's in? Krystin and her friend. Lauren (blond regular. Usually sits alone at the bar). Lots of unfamiliar faces.
Another interesting encounter with a customer, this time regarding a smoking sashimi. Clair told me her S8 claimed they only received 4 pieces in their smoking sashimi, 2pc sake-toro and 2pc hama-toro. This was very suspicious to me. Toshi at ichi-ban cuts the fish for Danger at zero-ban to plate. That means Toshi would have had to cut the wrong amount twice, hand that over to Danger who would also have to forget to count to 3 twice as he put it together. I really dislike schiesty people that insult the intelligence of my staff. Clair thought maybe they were just trying to get a extra fish- perhaps because one had to eat the last hama-toro while the other had sake-toro. The most diplomatic solution I could muster was to calculate down to the penny the cost of the fish that they claimed to not have received, and deduct that from their bill. Success!
The black woman from Miami that came in and acted a fool with her girlfriend last night did not come in tonight as she claimed she would.

Emily from daruma came in before we opened to get some things they needed. Menma, gloves, sesame seeds and limes.
Sounds like a busy but smooth night. Great work, everyone!
ReplyDeleteGlad that Miami woman didn't come in. She was out of hand.
Daruma now owes us the aforemetioned items, plus a case of Green Tea and Ramune. Just noting it.
