Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Lunch was pretty slow. Didn't fill up. No rush until about 1pm and it was short lived. I cut Krystin at 1pm and Lindsey at 1:15pm.
Dinner had a similar pace as lunch for a while. Fairly slow until about 8pm and then we went on a wait. Lots of 2 tops and lots of campers.  I cut Krystin and Grace at 9:15pm, I cut Mandy at 9:30pm. It was pretty clear that with the slow pace, servers got caught off guard with the pop. 90% of voids were in the last 90 minutes of service.

Specials:

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): John seemed to take to hosting well. He certainly has the demeanor and takes initiative like no one else here. His first instinct he says, when a table gets up to leave is to grab a tray and buss that table. I told him that is a great urge to have, but reminded him to learn the board before getting away from the host stand to help out.

I've asked Kelly a couple of times now to not stash her backpack and bike helmet in the oshibori basket, or in anyone's workspace for that matter.

I've noticed that Patty leaves a lot of dishes unwashed overnight when she works. I don't know where the threshold for dismissal of dishwashers is, or if she has an agreed upon time she has to be clocked out. It just seems counterproductive to things like rodent control, and inconsiderate to the opening dishwashers. I know people hang out in the party room long after most others are done working and eating, but these are dishes from full tables of customers long gone, not a few employees at makanai.

Any VIP's in? Shawn Cirkiel and his daughter.
The extremely polite JFC guy with some associates.
Tara and a friend.
Meg (of Meg, Maddie and HD) came in for a lunch meeting. She told me that HD has been having back issues- the next step may be surgery to fuse vertebrae, but in the meantime has taken his company public, essentially retired and then she showed me the FOB to her new Bentley... so they should be okay.
Aaron Franklin, wife and kid.
Dorcy of Hausbar
Christine, Justin and Max for Max's 7th birthday.
Danny and his family.
Friends of Sayo

void Oasis misring,
void Longhorn- guest changed mind,
void dynamite chicken misring

R&M needs: Daniel came to me first thing this morning and told me that the deep fryer is in desperate need of a deep cleaning. There are deposits of charred grease that have been building around the exhaust area and we have large flames that, if not addressed can catch the entire fryer on fire. He says it will take about 3 hours to clean.
Kitchen needs thermometers for the lowboy, the pickle station and two to test proteins and veggies.
