Weather: Rainy until about 6:30 then the sun came out. It cooled off a little bit spit rain on and off through the night.

Special events?: none that I know of. I think UT Finals are over.

Who worked: Clair, Sayo, Krystin. Ruthy, Dusten CL. Chelsea and Kelly Hosted, Cindy CT, Hiroe FR, Taylor SA

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Busy from the get go. On a wait around 5:45, got off the wait shortly after 10pm. Pretty seemless night. Chelsea is amazing at the host stand, and Kelly is always running around staying busy or bussing tables or getting waters. Great job from both of them tonight. Everyone else was on top of it, moving and shaking. Just another Saturday night at Kome.

Because the night was somewhat on auto pilot, Matt and I brainstormed about organization and then put a plan into action.
A project I've wanted to do for a while and finally did tonight was move dry storage. Matt was a huge help (he moved it all himself). First we brainstormed where we could make room in the kitchen. There is SO MUCH unused space back there on shelves and tables, and I have always hated the idea of food we eat being in the same space as dirty dishes and glasses. I have attached some pictures so that everyone knows where every thing is now. We are most definitely maximizing our space now.

Sauces and things to make sauces go on this shelf 

Linens now go here where dry storage once was. 

Corn and Ramen Bases back here-convenient.

Curry base, other Japanese items-Dashi- squid ink

gelatin, sansho pepper, sesame seeds, togarashi

Kewpie, Sriracha

Specials:
Farm salad
Japanese Uni
Snow Crab

Any VIP's in?
Vivian and Erik

Comps& Void Detail:
Only had to void a beer for Krystin, Guest changed mind
DNL on Kitchen Error for a guy at S11- no error or anyone's. It came at the end of the night, he was sitting solo and ordered Aburi Aji, then claimed it wasn't Aji. He was getting a little aggressive with Dusten about it, so Dusten just comp'd it and told me about it.

R&M needs:
The vent in the kitchen was leaking again. I called Petrocelli (against my better judgement) and the guy first tried to tell us it was our roof and I reminded him it was the vent THEY installed. He said he would have to call Joe. So I'm REALLY looking forward to that conversation.
