Who worked: Mandy, Ruthy, Grace, Clair CL, Hiroe FR, Taylor SA, Chelsea training Victoria to host with Miriam helping.

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: we got hit pretty hard at 5:30 and were on wait by 5:45. Things stayed pretty hectic until about 7:30pm. We stayed on a wait until at least 9pm. Lots of 3's and 4's and a few larger parties. We had a reservation made during service at 8pm. Danny brought 6 people with him at the same time an 8 top walk in.we managed to get just about everyone sat under their quote times. I cut Mandy at 9:30pm, Ruthy at 9:45pm and left Grace and Clair to close it down. All things considered it was a fairly smooth shift.

Specials: 7 tsubugai, 22 crab, 16 uni


3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): Josh is pretty volitile at times it seems. I came in to him fussing at Orlando about drying dishes. I asked him what was going on, and he went into a tirade of somewhat genuine concerns, but hiS addressing of Orlando was totally inappropriate. I honestly didn't know what to tell him. He definitely doesn't need to be hassling anyone if there has a problem. We have managers and he isn't one of them. Also for dinner he wanted to order a sashimi sampler. I'm pretty sure employee meals are supposed to be no more than $15. We were out of blue fin tuna anyways. I told him this and he just sighed and asked for a beer instead. At this point noticed that he really looked tweaked out on something. Matt even said he was pretty unruly, and if he wasn't needed as a warm body working he would have sent him home.

This wasn't tonight, but Kelly is still struggling with adherence to the simplest of serving details. She cocktailed Saturday night and poured up two Le Pive roses in champagne flutes. Those women were then sat in my section and asked for another round. I brought them the sparkling rose because of the glasses, not knowing they had the Le Pive. They sent it back. I asked Kelly if she knew which glass the flat rose went in and she said she did, but used the flute for these women. Still have no idea why she used the wrong glass on purpose. Then she starts to pour the sparkling rose that was sent back into the bottle! I asked her how she could be so sure that the women hadn't drank from the glasses she was attempting to recycle and her response was, "Oh. My bad."

Victoria seems to be doing very well. She is sharp and quick. The last few days it seemed like the host weren't doing the 86 and she very professionally and pleasantly went to Toshi and Matt and got the info she needed. It seems silly to be thankful that someone does the job the way it should be done, but considering the aforementioned occurrences it is a relief to say the least. I hope keeps it up.

Grace was about the only one who struggled with the rush tonight. She gets sloppy and tends to slam things around when she is weeded. she eventually found her stride. There was a woman in her section that ordered a coke and then pulled out a flask and made herself a drink. Grace actually took the drink away. From the woman which I thought was pretty funny. Leary reminded me that while it isn't our policy to allow that, we don't stand to get in any trouble for it. Still, I doubt that woman wanted to be charged a corking fee for her flask.

Any VIP's in?Taylor Kirk. Danny and his family. Kazu's roommate I think. Lots of Dads.

Comps& Void Detail: voided a couple sauces that were double rang. Some kome bucks, 3 or 4 cards I think. Employee day off for Danny. Voided a small bottle of Kanbara due to the wrong price ringing up. A bday dessert taiyaki

R&M needs: we have started to put the oshibori in the refrigerator now. Also the peach soft serve seems prone to freezing over.

86'd items/ need more: blue fin tuna, parfait
