Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
A weird flow to tonight again. First, let's talk about the reservations:
-Samara had a 5 top reso for some folks in the dining room at 6pm. by 6:15 they were a no show. Then at 6:20 called and said they would be here in 20 minutes and be a 6 top now. So that threw us for a loop. We had A6 set up for them, broke it down, then was able to set up A5 & A1. I think maybe they waited 10 minutes.
-The 7pm reso was a no show
-The 9pm reso called and asked to push it to 9:30. And then by 10pm they were a no show.
So there was that odd rhythm to the night. We went on a wait around 5:45 and came off the wait at 10:10.
The night was busy and smooth. Really mellow. We did have a few walk in large parties, one we were able to put in the party room. Had we known that the other resos would have cancelled we could have put them in there too. So that was a little annoying. But other than that, it didn't really affect our quote times.
Nothing major to note tonight. Sorry folks. Them's the facts!

Specials: none.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Cindy had Chloe stick to her like Glue all night. Chloe observed Cindy's amazingness at the ipad all night, and always managed the phone.
-Grant was a silent seating ninja tonight. He was saying his irrashaimase's, but other than that, he was helping in the dining room to set up any large parties, or to reset tables, or getting chopsticks. Very helpful.
Everyone was feeling super mellow and just kind of grooving and moving to the flow of service tonight. Nice and mellow attitudes from everyone.

Any VIP's in?
Rachel & Carlos
The couple that has been coming in more lately with their new born child that want to sit at the sushi bar. Tonight it was just them. They sat at the sushi bar, in front of Kazu, and seemed to have a nice date night.
Phyllis from next door
Another couple was in with their baby. I hadn't seem them in a while. Guess she had a baby. Don't know their names, just their faces
John and his wife. Older couple. Sweet.
