Who worked:
Kelly, Cindy, Ruthy, Sophia, Dusten Cl, Lindsey training cocktail with John, Maverick FR, Miriam and Grant H, Will SA

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Started of slow. Only a few tables for the first hour. It picked up 7, and we were on a wait by 730. Got up to an hour wait by 8, but most of the time the wait was 30-40 min. We stayed busy all the way until close. Sat the last table on the wait around 950. Went 2 on at 945 so Dusten and Sophia would get the last round of tables. Cut first host at 930.

It was a good flow of business tonight. It was busy, but everything ran smoothly and never got too hectic. There was a lot of teamwork on the floor which is always great to see. Ticket times were solid. Not a lot of mistakes. Pretty smooth night with decent sales.

Specials:
Japanese Uni- 10
Snow Crab- 9
Hirame- 3

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-I spoke with Grant tonight about the oshibori, and gave him his write up. I really hit home what a huge mistake he made. He understood, felt pretty horrible, and apologized several times. I dont think this will happen again.

-John was eager and willing tonight with his cocktail shift. Always great to see motivation to learn. Unfortunately, despite all the folks waiting, not a lot of folks ordered drinks tonight. He was able to make each sake cocktail only once, but told me he was going to start making them for servers in his down time so he can get more practice. He definitely should have another hopefully busier train before he cocktails solo.

-Will was moving a little slowly tonight. I was hoping to speak with him at the end of the shift, but he was gone pretty quickly. I'll be talking to him our next shift together. I'm a little concerned about his reliability after hearing about the first go-round.

-Ruthy had a pretty busy shift tonight. She handled it well, but needed to ask for more help. I helped her get through the busiest part of her night. I asked her to in the future reach out more for specific needs when she's that busy, and she agreed.  

Any VIP's in?
Had a 9 top of Olive and June/White Horse folks. 8 of them went for Omakase with Sophia and had a great time. They were thrilled when I informed them of SIN nights on Monday.
