Who worked: Camacho, Alex, Mandy, Grace, Clair (CL), Hiroe training Renee (FR), John (SA)

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Line out the door at open. Triple sat everyone and then asked Hatha to quote people about ten minutes so the servers and the sushi bar (3 on again) could catch up. It worked. Full and on a wait by 6pm. Average wait time was about 30-40 minutes for most parties the entire night. I cocktailed from about 6pm-8pm...we'll have a permanent Sunday CT starting this coming week. Momentarily had some long sushi ticket times (35 minutes) around 9pm. Wait died down around 8:45. I cut Camacho, Alex, and Hatha at this time. Cut Mandy at 9:30 and Grace at 9:45.

Guy at the sushi bar sent back his Uni Box saying it was going bad. I tasted it and totally agreed. Comped it and sent him a piece of Japanese Uni as an apology. We 86'd Uni for the rest of the night. Is there any way to tell when Uni has gone bad before serving it? Just curious.

Specials: Snow Crab, Japanese Uni

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): In John's eval, he expressed wanting to serve and so I asked him to start learning the sushi bar menu. He's really taken his new homework to heart, he's been ordering Nigiri for his shift meals to get a better understanding.

Hatha asked is she could work up until she leaves for school on August 25th. I let her know it depended on how this coming week played out and we'd revisit the subject again. I explained that it was important to schedule people who are dependable, service, and team oriented. I expressed my concern that she's "checked out" since she's moving soon. If I'm being honest -- and I always am -- I don't really see the point in doing her this favor. She isn't self motivated as she's quite content with standing around. With a watchful eye on her for most of the night, Tori and I instructed her every move and even then she wasn't fully present. So there's that. I'm ready to hire a more suitable replacement but I'll keep her on if she proves her worth.
