Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch: Solid start and continued to be a solid shift! On a wait by 12:10, off by 1, and it didn't really slow until about 1:30. Cut down to 2 on at 1:40 and Johnny closed it out. No major issues. At lot easier when we'r fully staffed. I checked in with a few tables throughout the day and everyone was happy. Had quite a few regulars in too, I gave some the invite, and verballed it to others like Neal and Rob. Some of our lunch regulars want to come in on Wednesday for the discount and I told them it was okay. It's just Rob and Single dad that said they were going to come in Wednesday for lunch because they can't make it to dinner.
Dinner: good Happy Hour. Thought we would go on a wait around 6:15 but it slowed. Went on a short wait around 8pm with some 2 tops and a 5 top. But overall a slower night. Dan and Patrick were hosting and neither know how to make drinks for guests waiting. So I showed them both as they occurred. Both seemed to appreciate me passing the knowledge on to them.
Clair had 2 parties in the PDR all night. The first party wasn't complete by 6:15 but I had the guys seat them anyway. Good thing too, because the 6th didn't show up until 6:40. They were out by 7:50 and we were able to turn it for the 8pm party. The night slowed down around 8:30, so I cut down to 3 on. Then by 9pm it had cleared out significantly, so I went 2 on. Ruthy and Camacho both got about 5 more tables each, so it was worthwhile for the two of them. The night closed out smoothly.
Someone left a pair of sunglasses at the sushi bar. I labeled and dated it.
Specials:
Jellyfish
Snow Crab
3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Charlie, the dishwasher, casually called out of his shift, noting that he just couldn't make it in. I would like to see if we can phase him out at this point. Between his work ethic and this, I just don't see the point in keeping someone on like him.
-Johnny left without letting me know-I usually like to check out the lunch closers but he just disappeared. Does the lunch closer NOT check out with the manager? I've noticed lately that the lunch closes have been a bit sloppy, leaving the dining room a mess (chopsticks not straight, chairs pulled out, table tents crooked, etc)
-Taylor needs to be a little more active on the floor when he is an SA. I caught him so many times just standing around the service station, chatting, and had to light a fire under him. I'll continue to coach in the moments.
Any VIP's in?
Lunch:
-Spencer from Drafthouse
-John & Wife (can't remember her name. Older couple. Quite. She's petite, he's tall and has facial hair)
-Rob (will be in for Lunch Wed or Thurs for discount)
-Neal (
-Single dad guy (please tell me someone can remember his name? I lost it over my 3 month absence. He will be in Wed for lunch)
- Regular couple who's names I forgot but I gave them the invite too.
-Kenny's Brother.
Dinner:
Kenny
Comps& Void Detail:
DNL on 2 pieces of Katsuo. They said it tasted "fishy"
Emp Kome Bucks for Alex for lunch. for taking care of a dirty duty
Open $ was for a Gift card that was reading at $0 but I looked it up on Mercury and it had $100 on it.
One ANA discount, One SIN
R&M needs:
We need to run new speaker wire to the speaker near S12. It's not producing sound. I'm pretty sure I know what happened to the wire...
Dan has mentioned twice now that the number of chopsticks has dwindled significantly. Were some taken out of rotation, or have we lost that many?
Where are we with the Aloha touch screen issue? It's been pretty bad lately, even after restarting the monitors.
Please call Andy or an electrician tomorrow. Tonight between 9pm and 10:30pm the circuit for the string lights blew 4 times. And it just did it again. It's 11:21.
86'd items/ need more:
Pint Glasses. Can someone pick some more up before the weekend. If that means me, then someone let me know and I can swing by Acemart on Thursday on my way in.
The few shifts that I worked before Elizabeth came back, now I remember Johnny never checked with me, Clair always does. I think all closer supposed to check with the manager.
ReplyDeleteWhoever goes to Restaurant Depot before weekend can get pint glasses. I guess Toshi san?
-It's crazy that we could already be low on chopsticks. What happens to them all.
ReplyDelete-I called Andy to remind him that we're still waiting on that bid. Unfortunately it's not a cheap quick fix. He needs to extend a new breaker box from the new electrical panel. He said that was the original idea with getting that panel installed. He told me he would get me that bid tonight or tomorrow. In the meantime avoid running the fans outside if possible. The kitchen knows to avoid using devices in the prep area at night.
-That speaker has been out for awhile. Not sure it it's from the critters. I was pricing wireless speakers, but got hung up with something else.
-I called aloha again today, and will call them again tomorrow about the calibration function. They seemed to be working ok for me tonight. They right level of pressure is key.
-Still working on getting a new dishwasher in here.
