Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
The UT game definitely caused a weird flow of business today.

Lunch was mellow start like most Saturdays, but we got a pretty good pop at 1. Filled up quickly and hit a 30 minute, and then just died out by 2. Thought we might get another late pop, but only a few tables the last hour. The pop went smoothly. Ticket times were solid, and no issues.

Had an early pop tonight, and it seemed like we were going to have a normal busy Saturday night. Game started at 6, and we were on a 45 minute wait at 630. I thought the game might not affect business and then the wait just trailed off at 7. Went back on a small wait, but pretty much only 4-5 tables waiting the rest of the night. Had a few late UT fans come in after the game after 1030, but nothing crazy. We were full most of the night, but pretty chill Saturday all in all. Kitchen had a pretty easy night with couple of pops. Sushi bar stayed busy. Take jumped back there for the early pop, but they ran 3 on most of the night and did fine. No issues.

Had one Controllable Comp of 3 Aburi Aji. It was a left over from the sushi card not being wiped off all the way. The table told me Grace had read it back, but they all thought someone else at the table ordered. The no other Aji tickets were up so I gave it the table on the house and told them it was one of my favorite pieces and I wanted them to try it even if they didn't actually order it. They loved them and were very happy with the rest of their meal as well.
