Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Lunch was incredibly busy. Picked up around 11:30 and stayed that way solidly until close. Everyone hustled and worked well together. Tables turned fairly quickly even though sushi seemed to be taking about 20-30 minutes for most of service. Cut Lindsey at 1:00 since her section was full, Kelly at 1:30, and Krystin at 1:50.

Woman at B4 complained about her Chicken Katsu. I wrote about her a few weeks ago getting some overcooked chicken last time she dined in. It turns out that she is equally unlucky as she is picky. She just doesn't like our kitchen food but keeps coming back because he husband is such a fan of our sushi. I comped her chicken and sent her yakiniku because she seemed excited when I mentioned beef on the menu. She didn't like those either and comped them as well. She did make a valid point; the yakiniku sauce is very salty. Is this normal? It seemed darker than usual. Maybe it reduced too much. Anyway, she left unhappy as she did last time but had hopes for our veggie tempura next time.

About 20 minutes before close, I noticed the floor was wet in the office. Honestly thought Kelly had spilled something when she was in there restocking. Turns out the water was coming through the floor/wall and pouring in so quickly that I had to act fast to get the computer towers off the floor. I scrambled to grab rack from the server station. Kelly helped me and John mopped up the mess, which filled a bucket with water. All I can say is great teamwork. Also, holy shit. The skinny: Computer is fine. POS is fine. I can get to the screen for all of our POS stuff but I can't get to our regular computer screen. Not sure if there's a connection loose from moving everything around but I'm waiting for things to dry before I can figure it out. Check outs have not been entered because of this. Kayo came back after lunch to check on things and called John the gardner to check our drainage directly outside. It seems like the drain is not completely bolted together. I will call a handyman in the morning.

Dinner was busy. Nothing really to report. No long ticket times or customer issue. Lots of familiar faces

Specials: Japanese Uni, Snow Crab, Tsubugai

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): Mandy did a great job as a newer closer.

Johnny was snippy when I cut Lindsey, fearing that it was too early for cuts and vocalized this to me. I reassured him that her sections was full and it would be fine. The next table of her section ended up going to Kelly anyway.

Any VIP's in? My friend Harleigh from Black Swan Yoga, Nathan, Renee, Taylor, Take & Kayo
