Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Slow start. Only 3/4 of the restaurant was full by noon, the sushi bar was nearly empty. Around 12:30, we finally had a solid lunch rush. Sat the last table at 2:00pm. Cut Mandy at 1, Grace at 1:30, and kept two until close.

Crazy busy for dinner. Very little mistakes made. Sushi bar was hitting 40 minute tickets around 6pm but recovered quickly. There was only one table Chelsea ended up cocktailing the whole night and I helped Grant intermittently  but it was nice to see he could handle a busier night on his own. Wait times on average were 35-45 minutes for 2-top and 45-1 hour for 3+ tops. Had two 6-tops walk in and a 5 that were able to be seated in the party room. Had a wait up until 10pm when the last 3 tables were sat. The last table left at 11:20pm.

I am tired.

Specials:

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): Grant has improved with running the board. He now takes the time to count tables. His quote times were nearly perfect tonight.

Chelsea sold over $400 in beverage sales while cocktailing and all of her tips were at least 20%. I have a feeling she's an upselling superstar. I want to reward her for how important she here, even though it's only been a short time. I gave her a Dai Due gift card.

Josh tried to order an Uni Box for dinner.
