Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch: Another mellow lunch service. Filled at 12:45 and thought we were going to hit a wait, but we didn't. Slowed and cut at 1pm, then continued to slow so I cut down to 2 on at 1:15 and finally went to just Johnny at 1:30. Finished out the last half hour with only 3 more tables. Nothing of note.

Dinner: A solid Thursday! Happy Hour started with a bang and we were full by 5:45. Had a 3 top go on a wait for a table for happy hour. A bit sassy but we got them a table with 5 minutes to spare. We stayed on a wait until around 9:15pm. The staff was moving and shaking and the vibe was positive and fun. Lots of happy guests. One couple purchased a bottle of Snow Maiden but they didn't like it, so we charged them for one glass (that they drank) and they got something else. They were very sweet when I followed up with them to check on their new selection, and asked if we tip pooled because he wanted to make sure his cocktail server got a tip (since I told them I would put the glass on their sushi bar tab). It pays to make people happy. They ended up leaving very happy with the entire experience.
The sushi bar was getting a little too exuberant and a rolling mat flipped over the side of the sushi bar, spilling a woman's snow maiden. She caught it before it got on her, and I got her another full glass. They were understanding and sweet about the whole thing.
Never saw any crazy ticket times or anything of the like. A smooth night overall.

Specials:
Uni Shooter
Snow Crab


3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Renee's attitude was much better today. Maybe it was an off day. Watching her at her tables, she smiles and is personable. Not over the top, but just as I see Lindsey at her tables. Matter of fact, but she throws in smiles as needed.


Any VIP's in?
Lunch: Rob (sits at sushi bar) and Mieko (Take, did I get that right, isn't that her name? Usually comes in with husband, Grant)

Comps& Void Detail:

R&M needs:
Seems that when the breaker in the kitchen pops (from using the back microwave) it is the same circuit that the patio lights are on. Have we addressed this with Andy?

The music will cut on and off at times. Anyone else had issues with this?

We need to get a small brush (maybe even a tooth brush?) to clean the iced tea machine nozzle. It's getting nasty.  I can get one tomorrow most likely.

86'd items/ need more:
Do we have more toilet paper coming with the Sysco order? All we have is what we have left in the rest rooms.
