Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Lunch was eventful. We had a 15 top in the dining room, for which Kayo'd made a reservation. A good number of 5 and 6 tops. Very manageable crowd. No misrings. Sushi lunches took a while a one point, but customers weren't phased. Had a couple big turnovers of tables happen simultaneously and all available hands pitched in to make things go smoothly. Good shift. I cut Grace and Krystin at 2:30. We were still full, but the wait was dwindling.
-Dinner only really seemed busy. The weather kept tables sitting longer and customers from coming in. I cut Renee pretty early- 7:45pm I think. Chelsea only made one sale of drinks after that. I cut Chelsea, Krystin and Grace at 8:45 and Alex at 9:15.

Also: the change bank was over $104 this morning. I put the difference in an envelope still inside the bag.

Specials:

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
While I was not impressed with Gabe as a host this weekend, he was a very capable SA. He is observant, a bit frantic at times but certainly not slow and maintained a high level of energy throughout the day. He could be a bit more efficient, but I see him already making his efforts more concise.
-Renee did a good job at food running. As busy as lunch was, she did not seemed to get backed up. I'd like to see her keeping the ramenss bowls cleaner on the sides.
-Grace did a great job with the 15 top during lunch. We gave them a hefty discount and they tipped her 20% on what we took off, in addition to the 18% auto-grat.


Any VIP's in? Jason and I forget his wifes name... we used to call him turtle guy. I feel bad for not remembering their orders when they come in. They do seem to get the same thing just about every time.
Kayo's party. She can tell the story better, but they helped her parents out when they were alone in Houston I believe.
Other regulars. There's a guy that comes in frequently with his wife and other couples. He has a lot of tattoos, usually wearing Nike Cortez'. I feel like I know him from somewhere else and should know his name.


Comps& Void Detail: 30% FNF for 15-top
$41 in kome bucks.
voided 2 tamago nigiri that were re-used.
owner comp desserts for 15-top: 2 parfait, 4 green tea ice cream and a soft serve. (lots of kids!)

R&M needs: The front door has significant gaps and doesn't close completely during business hours. Fixing that would likely prevent lots of heat from entering the building.
