Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch was pretty chill. Almost filled up around 1, and then pretty slow after that. No wait, and party room was never sat. Had a steady flow so sales ended up being ok.

Dinner was busy from the moment we opened. Had a line at the door at 5pm. Haven't seen that in awhile. Hit an hour wait by 6, and stayed on a 45-50 minute wait most of the night. Came off the wait finally at 1030. Cut Renee at 1015, and 2 on at 1030. The sushi bar got hit hard right away. Everyone did a great job knocking out that initial push, and tickets times were good despite how fast the pop came. Lot's of teamwork back there tonight. Kitchen had some pops here or there. Had a long ticket on a Gyoza, but overall ticket times were good.

Had one issue with the very last table on the wait going 20 minutes over their quote time. It was a 3-top, and tables were just hanging out. They got pretty impatient, and finally were willing to just sit at the sushi bar so they could eat. I bought them some apps to make them happy, and they instantly happy. Just needed some food.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-John worked his first busy cocktail shift. He's got a lot to work on, but he did pretty good considering the volume of business. A more experienced cocktail probably would have had another $200 in sales, but his speed just isn't there yet.
-Sophia did a really good job training Renee today.
-Gabe was a little off tonight. He usually does a pretty solid job around me, but I had to correct a few things. I'll keep working out the kinks with that guy.

Any VIP's in?
-Drew with his brother & sister and law
-GM for 24 hour Diner
-Director of sales for Independence Brewing

Comps& Void Detail:
