Who worked: LUNCH- Krystin, Lindsey, Kelly, Sayo (CL), Will (SA), Taylor (FR), I hosted again
DINNER-Krystin, Lindsey, Mandy, Ruthy, Clair (CL), Chloe & Miriam (H), John (SA), Hiroe (FR)
Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Lunch was busy. Filled up around 12:30 and had a small wait of 15-20 minutes until about 2pm. I cut Krystin at 2pm, Lindsey at 2:30pm, and Kelly at 2:45pm. No long ticket times or customer issue. I helped Will out a bunch since 3 or 4 tables would get up at the same time throughout the shift.
Dinner was quite busy and the staff that worked tonight were ON IT. Not a single void or misring. Great communication and team work. On a wait by 7, which great to 45 minutes to 1 hour around 8. It slowly petered off...I cut Krystin at 8:45, Lindsey at 9:05, and Mandy at 9:30. Let Ruthy and Clair close it down since there were a couple of tables at the end.
Can we discuss our wings for a moment? At least once a month I'm dealing with our chicken wings being RED at the bone and I'm at a loss of what to do about it. Is it preparation or execution on the line? Is it the quality of our wings? I don't want to point fingers or blame anyone but I'm getting really tired of talking customers and trying to convince people they're NOT eating raw chicken.
When I worked in the kitchen at drink.well, we had wings. Our prep, similar to french fries, was to par-cook them by either baking them or frying them at a low temp and then frying them during service. I've never dealt with what we're dealing with here: that's my two cents.
Specials: Snow Crab 1, Japanese Uni 5
3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): Miriam says she's ready to cocktail, so I'm going to transition her to that role once we have some new, solid hosts.
Kelly and Krystin were both not feeling well. Something is going around...

Comped Tori Teba Wings, Kitchen Error
R&M needs: A 12 foot light bulb pack for the kitchen , china markers (can I get access to our AMAZON account so I can start ordering small office supplies?)
86'd items/ need more:
Chicken wing must be double fried and if it's not cooked through, I'm sure it isn't double fried properly. Kitchen expo can wright up the cook next time when you catch the red chicken again. And also expo should remind the fry cook to double fried all time.
ReplyDelete-I'll go to Home Depot again and get some 12 foot bulbs.
ReplyDelete-The chicken wings were double fried yesterday. Oddly the wings fried once would did not have a red bone, but when they fried again the bone would turn red. I'm going by what Daniel told me, and talk to Scott about it today. It seems weird that would happen Take', can you get with Daniel and Scott to run some test batches of wings and see if we can figure this out? I'd like to avoid having this conversation with customers as much as possible. Thank you.
-I just opened 2 packs of China Markers this weekend. It's crazy we low already. I ordered 4 packs last weekend, and they should be here before this weekend. If we ever running low I would ask the servers to check their pockets. They like to hold on to them. Kelly had 5 in her apron the other day.
