Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Lunch was very slow. A young Asian couple at A3 complained that the Tonkotsu ramen was "too porky", Cindy had explained it was made with pork bone broth. It was their first time having the dish but ended up keeping it, even after I asked if they wanted to order something more to their liking. Cut Clair at 1. Had a small rush right after 1pm but it was manageable with three servers on. Roll times started hitting 30 minutes at this time. Not sure what's going on with sushi bar scheduling but it would helpful NOT to schedule Lee and Spencer on maki station together, because clearly they can't keep up with the demands of even a slow Monday lunch. Drew ended up switching with Spencer. Cut Mandy at 1:40. No other customer issues or ticket times to note.

Had 9 tables walk in at open for dinner. Slow start; didn't fill up until about 7:30 and then were on a consistent wait of 15-30 minutes until 9:00 when I cut Clair and Chloe. Cut Mandy at 9:15 and Grace and Dusten at 9:40.

Specials: Suzuki Carpaccio, Japanese Uni

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): Grant called out sick around noon. I asked him to get his shift covered. He called at 4pm and said he got Chelsea to pick up, but because of her other job, couldn't be here until 6. Chloe's in time is also 6pm, so I ended doing all of the host opening side work. No big deal, but certainly not ideal. Chloe showed up at 5:30 and I gave her Kome bucks as a thank you.

Caught Grace eating Chicken Kara Age in dry storage. When I questioned what she was doing, she said, with a sweet smile on her face "eating dozo", almost as if she had no knowledge of the no eating rule. I told her to throw it out. Putting it back on pre-shift notes for the week.

Josh came into the office after his shift and Drew noticed he smelled like beer. Josh said he drank a beer after he clocked out but I'd like to keep an eye on him.

Mandy broke a bottle of Mexican coke in the office. We tried to clean up as much of the glass as possible, so be careful.

Any VIP's in? My friend Ryan from Clark's

R&M needs: The sink closest to the sushi bar is getting a pungent, rotten fishy smell to it. Probably needs to be cleaned out by a plumber. I can call someone in the morning.
