Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
It was a pretty busy Saturday, and sales were good. No line at the door, but a steady flow tables right when we opened. Hit a wait by 6. Hit an hour wait by 7. Stayed on a steady 45-50 minute wait until 940. Stayed full until 10. Cut Dan at 10, and went 2 on at 1015. A few later tables, but no later pop. Ticket times were good. Had a couple of longer tickets times. Considering the level of business and being 2 on in the kitchen I think things went really smooth.

Had an issue with a 6-top getting grumpy with their wait time. They arrived incomplete. John told them it would probably be 30 minutes after they were complete. They weren't complete until 30 minutes later, and then waited another 30 minutes. They got pretty grumpy because they misunderstood John and thought he was quoting them 30 min from the time they walked in. We had several tables lingering which made the wait grow. I talked them to explain the misunderstanding, and had some apps ready when they sat. They were happy once they had a table, and some food. I followed up with John, and let him know in the future it's best to probably not even give them an estimate until the party is complete. As busy as we were, and as loud as it was in the lobby, there is too much room for confusion.
