Considering we opened an hour late, coming in -11% isn't too bad.

Weather: Warm, mostly because I stood in the parking lot for over an hour. Other than that I think it was pleasant in the evening. 70s.

Special events?: Pecan St.Festival. Kentucky Derby, Whip in's 30th Birthday Celebration, Contigo's 5 year Birthday Celebration, Aaron and Elizabeth's 5 year dating anniversary (significantly better than the last thing I just mentioned)  :)

Who worked: Clair, Camacho, Krystin, Miho, Dusten CL. Kelly & Chelsea hosted (perfect pair!), Ruthy CT, Kaori SA and Hiroe FR

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Well, we were closed for the first hour due to the gas leak in the kitchen. COA didn't get out here until around 5 and assessed that the valve that controls the gas to the new burners needs to be replaced. Therefore, the new burners CAN NOT BE USED until this is done by a plumber, who will have to turn off the gas line that resides behind the huge flat top. I will work on getting a plumber out Monday to have it switched out. Until then please do not touch it.

Got the staff back in at 5:15 and we were able to open the doors at 5:50. So not too bad.
Went on a wait around 6:30 and I thought the night would take off from there, but around 8:30 it slowed down a little bit. And eventually, around 10pm we came off the wait. Though from 8:30-10 it was a small wait of just a handfull of parties. Did have an 8 top walk in around 9:30 also. Cut down to 2 on at 10:15. Had maybe 3 tables walk in after that.

Considering we opened 50 minutes late, we still did 4 more covers than last night. I think with all of the events going on in town, it did somewhat impact the business. It was a nice steady night though, no one got overwhelmed. I saw Toshi at Ichiban helping to cut and plate rolls since that was a huge part of business tonight.


3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Chelsea and Kelly work really well together. Since Chelsea was losing her voice Kelly ran the -board- they communicated great with each other and held it down!
-Despite the late start and a little rocky at that, everyone was in great spirits!

Any VIP's in?
 Erin, Lynn's Wife, with Olive.
Maverick and his friend

Comps& Void Detail:
FNF for Eric
Emp Day off for Maverick
Voided 1 sapporo for camacho, misring
DNL on Veggie Temp- Dusten and I both tasted it and it was a little too battery, or thick, and the veggies tasted undercooked. It was at the very end of the night, so maybe thats why.

R&M needs:
Other than the gas valve...
The wooden panels over the office door are coming lose again. I pulled two down because they were on the brink of killing someone.
