Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch: picked up around noon. Busier Sunday than the last few for sure. Went on a wait around 1:30, came off the wait around 2:30. Several large parties walked in. John underquoted a few tables, I tried to touch base with most of them and they all seemed fine. There was one group of 4 that I over heard literally whining like a child saying "but I want to eat noooooooow" that I thought was odd. I should have checked on them during their meal because I got a disgruntled email from them later on at night. So there's that. Otherwise, I cut Mandy at 2:30 and went 2 on at 2:45. It was busy to close.

Dinner: Like any Sunday, we went on a wait at 5:45 and stayed busy until about 8:15. Everyone was willing to wait, and the mood was high! Everyone was moving and shaking. Chelsea ended up cocktailing most of the night while John manned the helm. She rang only about $250 but that all happened within an hour and a half. At 8:30 sayo's section was cleared out(middle Bs) and Mandy only had about 1 more table. No new tables were coming in, so I cut Sayo and Mandy and promised Grace I would cut her (since I kind of skipped her) as soon as I was confident that Leary and Clair would be okay on their own. I cut Grace "officially' at 9pm, but she didn't get any new tables after 8:30 anyway. Clair and Leary held it down to close. enough tables came in to keep them both busy but never overwhelmed. Overall a great night, very busy, just low check averages.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Matt said that Orlando has showed marked improvement. He was not on his phone at all during his shift today!
-Mandy got a little frustrated and flustered towards the end of lunch. I chalked it up to the busy shift and that she is a double. She came back for dinner and was right as rain.
-Sayo also toughed through her double with positivity. She got a little bogged down from some crappy folks in the Party Room- One guy tipped her .30 on a $46 check. But then James and his fam came in and took care of her.
-Dusten trained William tonight and did a great job (duh!). And John was also whispering sweet nothings in his ear too, motivating and pushing him too. It was cute.

Any VIP's in?
Lunch: Eye Joy Drs and their kids, Chi and his family! Celebrating his Daughters bday, Old John. Clair and Michael.
Dinner: Oye, so many! Kelly from the Calendar of events for Highball (leary remembered her more than I did, but she knew me too), Sayo's BF and Fam, Scott Herschal of ELM Group with his wife, My mom, brother & sister in law, Lindsey, Dan and 3 friends (one sister?), I am forgetting someone I just can't remember who.

R&M needs:
Temp logs are printed and ready to go. There are 4 folders that are TO STAY IN THE OFFICE.
The Temp logs are by station and by week. So one temp log should be be placed in a binder somewhere in each station (that will remind dry and free of food), and filled out each day.
The 4 stations are:
-Sushi Bar
-Service Station (Service station can stay in office, since it is FOH mgr duty)
-Kitchen
-Prep Area
please let me know if anyone has any questions about this. When I return to the restaurant on Thursday I want to see that these have been filled out.
