Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:I came in 5:30, and it was already busy and there are few people waiting at the lobby. The wait kept growing, but never went too long to wait. We had good amount of people in the lobby and patio through out the night until about 8:45 and Chelsea was busy selling drinks. Right after we cleared all waits, I cut Lindsey about 8:50 and 5 mins later 12 tops walked in. Since they did not mind sitting separately, we gave them A7.8 and B5.6 and that only made them to wait about 15 mins for this size, so it was good.

Ticket time was good, only small issue was Salmon sashimi the couple at S1 got was still part frozen. Kaz re-made it immediately and they were fine.

One point tonight, I found miso soup with rice in it was sitting behind the rice cooker. We were all busying at that point so I did not have chance to chase down who's that, but again unknown food was still sitting.

It was very nice to see Roger again behind the sushi bar, he remembered the most of items so he was right back in.

**** One thing, tonight I found the kitchen knife was left on party room table after the customer left. Jason brought it to the customer to cut their cake.  I am not sure if we ever talked about it, but if it is normal that we provide a knife to the customer, I do not feel very comfortable about it. Will you discuss at the manager meeting?****

Also Dan asked me if he can give his girlfriend a camamber tempura, so I said yes, then Sophia asked me to give her discount which I did, at this point I should not give her any more discount than free dessert, then she ended up leaving some cash with $10 bucks that Dan got for his training meal.
I did not say anything to Dan tonight, but it was pretty abusive usage of employee benefit.
I guess we should send e-mail to employees that what we can do for friends and family.
