Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch was pretty uneventful. Never filled up. Almost full at 1230, and then slowly died off. Went 2 on at 1, and 1 on at 140.

Had an Amazu Chicken ran to the wrong table. The customer had ordered a Thai Kara-age originally so Johnny thought it was made incorrectly, and offered to fix it for the guy. He said it was fine, he was hungry, and just started eating it. I comped it half off for the inconvenience of it. Everything else went smoothly, and tickets times were solid.

Dinner had a pretty busy happy hour pop. We were full and on a wait by 6. The wait grew to about 30 minutes by 630, but then died down to just a couple of tables waiting by 730. Had another pop, and hit 45 min by 815, and then died off. Cut first host, and went 3 on at 9, and 2 on at 930. Had a 7-top walk in at 930 and that was it for the night. Tables were sat at a nice pace. Ticket times were good in the kitchen. The sushi bar had another awesome night despite being a man down. Ticket times were great.

Had the employees ring in some practice rolls since it was Patrick's first night. It seemed like a slow end of the night, but it ended up taking him until 1030 before he finished. I felt bad it took so long.

Specials:
Japanese Uni- 5
Tsubugai- 7
Salmon Katsu-0  This special doesn't seem to sell too well. Daniel had a nice recipe for a thai style salmon fillet that we should maybe try, or maybe bring back the beef tataki every once in awhile.
