Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Solid shift today. Went on a wait around 12:15. Had an 11:30 party in the room that Clair took, and then a walk in 9 top that went in the back b's. Finally filled around noon and went on a wait at 12:15. The team hustled all around and did well. Had two business men hassle us about parking. Said that it was trash day and the entire 50th street was overcome with trashcans and there was no where to park, even on the street behind us. Then they tried to park on the sidewalk and when asked if that was okay I said it wasn't because it was a sidewalk. They said they would just have to come in another day. To which we said okay. Then they came in a few minutes later and said they moved some of our neighbors trash cans on 50th so they could park their car (a jaguar) there. So there's that.

At one point I went back into the kitchen to check out how they were doing, since the sushi bar was being inundated with tickets, and Alex (old Alex Aguilar, the ramen cook that use to work here) was standing back there talking to Matt. I asked him if he still worked here. When he answered no I asked him to please leave. He promptly went around the front of the building and when I came out on the floor he was sitting at S8. Nice to know he's still a fan of the food....I guess.

Lunch slowed around 1:45. Didn't really have time to make cuts. Clair was able to take 2 additional tables though, and our last table sat around 10 til 2.

Only one Kitchen Error Comp (from Sushi bar) for a 20 minute sushi lunch for a guy sitting solo at the sushi bar. The food for everyone else around him came out, but he had to wait a little longer. He was happy and I took care of his meal

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-This morning it was 3 after 10 and I saw Ruthy saundering up to Kome, then I was waiting for her to come in. When she didn't, I went outside and she was smoking. I told her to put it out and come inside, she was already late. I know we've cracked down on the lateness issue, but let's make sure the staff knows it's not "okay" to come in after 10am.

Any VIP's in?
