Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch was steady, but never went on much of a wait. Started slowing down by 115. Went 2 on at 130. Tickets were mostly good. A couple of longer tickets from the sushi, but the tables were were fine. Its the time of the year where everyone orders a sushi lunch. When winter comes it'll be the same with ramen.

 So happy to walk in and have our credit cards up and running again. Spent most of the day itemizing and adjusting credit card slips from last night. All tabs from last night have been processed, and checkout spreadsheet has been updated.

Started off like a normal Friday. A slow trickle for the first 30 minutes, and then people pouring for the next. We were on a wait by 6, and hit an hour wait by 630. The wait came down a little by 730, but held at 30-45 minutes most of the night. Several 5-tops, a couple 6-tops, and a 7-top kept quote times challenging, but Chloe did a great job. Eased off the wait by 945. Cut the cocktail, and went 3 on. It stayed pretty mellow so went 2 on at 1015. Only a few tables came in the last hour. Ticket times were pretty solid except a few tickets.

Did have a couple of 45 minute rolls. The only table that bothered were the young girls at table 20, but they were ok once they got their food. They were a bit cold and strange. I went to the table at the end of their meal to ask if everything tasted ok, did Krystin take good care of them, and would they like to see a dessert menu. They were pretty unresponsive. A couple of them said yes, yes, no.

Had a pretty unfortunate issue with a tree roach crawling high on the wall at B8. The table there freaked out a bit and quickly moved to B7. Lucky it was toward the end of the night, and there were a only a couple of tables in the back Bs. I grabbed a napkin and just grabbed it as discretely as I could. I apologized to B7, and told them (loud enough for the other tables in the Bs to hear) that we do all the normal pest control, and building maintenance to prevent these things. I also said it's not a common occurrence, but the building was older and they often get in through the front door due to so much foot traffic. They were actually kind of upset that I killed it, and said they just didn't want it to fly at them.    

Specials:
Japanese Uni- 7
Snow Crab- 11
Hirame- 2

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Chloe did a great job hosting solo tonight. Kelly was cock tailing and pretty much acting as a second host with all of her down. Ruthy & Krystin were also helping out quite a bit with their down. I was constantly helping them as well, but with the teamwork it allow me not to be stuck at the host stand the whole night.

Any VIP's in?

Comps& Void Detail:
