Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
It was a pretty mellow lunch. Filled up around 1230, but only had a couple tables on the wait all day. Party room was sat once with a 5-top once. It was steady but it started to die off by 110. People were mainly eating sushi, which pushed times a little bit. There were as few tables being impatient which made the servers impatient. I ran all the impatient folks food, but when I looked at the longest ticket time it was 23 minutes. Just impatient customers they don't realize that sushi takes time. No one was upset once they got their food. No comps. voided 1 roll.

Dinner was a really slow start. We had a pretty good size storm roll in around 4pm. The lights were flickering which had me nervous, and power went out down the street, but luckily we were spared. The storm was clearing by 6, but business didn't really get off the ground until 730. We got up to a 30 minute wait by 8. John cock-tailed while Chloe trained Hatha at the host stand. Everything ran pretty smoothly. It started to die off by 9, and I thought that would die off like most the nights have. I went 3 on (thank goodness not 2) and cut first host. We got hit with a pretty big late pop, and went back on wait. Everyone pitched to get through it and we were fine. Ticket times were solid. The food coming out of the kitchen looked really good tonight.

So many out-of-towners the past few days. June is a vacation month, and it seems like Austin and Kome are destination spots. Lots of tables visiting and telling me that their hotel, cab driver, or friend recommended Kome. Really great to have such awesome local support.

Specials:

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Hatha spent a lot of time on the ipad, and seemed to do really well. Extremely comfortable with customers. Just needs to work on quote times. I changed her schedule to finish her trains early so she could host Saturday morning. I think she'll be fine by then with a little guidance from Dusten.

-Hired a new support person today. He has host, bussing, and food running experience with completely open availability (thank god). Also, tends to stay at jobs for several years which seems to be a rarity these days. He's a graduate student, has taught around the world, a semi-regular of Kome, and will be traveling to Japan this winter. I really hope he works out because on paper he is perfect!
