Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch: Mellow start to the shift. Alan Chen was in with a rep from Ichinokura (we carried their Taru sake a few years back) tasting with Dusten on some newer sakes to TX. Lunch stayed slow until it picked up around 12:30 and then slowed down again around 1:15. Made cuts at 1:15 and went down to 2 on. Johnny and Alex closed it down with a handfull of tables each. Had a mother and daughter back in town and when posed with the question, where to eat before leaving on an airplane back to Denver, her 10 year old daughter said Kome. They just loved us when they lived here. I sent them 2 pieces of Unagi as a farewell. Super sweet mom and daughter. Lots of happy guests today.
Dinner: Nice happy hour crew, dinner picked up around 7, went on a 30 minute wait for a few parties that all came in around the same time. 6 top walk in, 5 top walk in, and some 3s and 2s. Got off the wait around 8:45, started to slow around 9. Cut Lindsey at that time. Then went to 2 on at 9:30. It stayed consistent until close but folks cleared out pretty fast.
Specials:
Dang it! I forgot to grab the numbers before I left tonight (writing this from a far). But I will say that we featured a "land" nigiri set and an "ocean" nigiri set and both sold really well. I ran a contest on them and Ruthy won with 10 sets.
3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Alex: a positive addition to the team. He's got a great attitude and work ethic. Nice to actually work with him again
-Take can comment further, but Daryl is a new addition to the sushi bar but seemed to be picking up quick tonight. I would overhear Take give him direction and he seemed to pick up on it well.
-Renee. What's her story? Sour puss on all night. At one point I asked if she was feeling okay. She said yes, why. I said she looked miserable. Maybe smile a little. She said she was tired. But this isn't the first time I've noticed her rather cold persona. I picked up on it the two other times I came in to eat. Just curious where we are with coaching her on this.
Any VIP's in?
Alan Chen
Fontaine Schibi
Friends of mine came in for a "welcome back" dinner.
Meg, child and HD came in for dinner.
Manager at Soup Peddler, Meg, was in for her 30th bday dinner. We sent her and her GF a Komeviche.
Comps & Void Detail:
FNF discount for Fontaine, my friends, and a few other staff friends that were in.
Recovery for S8, man ordered the go go roll with his sushi lunch but instead of naming it, said an unagi roll. Johnny said last week he was in he noticed the gnawing of the sushi bar from the rodents, so I discounted his lunch once again for the miscommunication. We need to hit the mark next time he comes in.
Bday comp for the Komeviche
Makani for Kelly, Ruthy & Lindsey.
R&M needs:
The Sushi Bar printer wasn't getting power after lunch and I took a look at it. We got it working again, but there were 2 bugs that ran out from under it when I lifted it up. Not sure what type of bugs (though one looked like an ear pincher....maybe not the real name of it, but that's what we called them as kids) Anyhow, are we still using ABC for pest control too? If so, let's call them out. If not, I am more than happy to look into a different/better pest control agency. Disappointing to see the decline of their service. They use to be good.
Leak near the ice machine. I know this is a perpetual leak. Do we know the cause or is it one of those "let's just live with it" things.
86'd items/ need more:
86'd Sake toro sashimi
1776 will be in on Thursday from Glazers. I assume other stock will be tomorrow from Pioneer and the like.
-I had the leak at the ice machine fixed for a couple of days. The pipe from the ice machine to the floor drain under the dish washer needs to replaced/reinforced. I found the initial leak and fixed it, but the linen trash can and mops/brooms come in contact with the pipe often during service. I can take a look at it on my next shift.
ReplyDelete-Renee has resting sour face. I've talked to her about it. She smiles with guests at the table and host stand, and I did receive a compliment on her from one her tables recently, but her default face makes her look unhappy. She is new on the floor and has seemed to do a good job during service, but I'll remind her to keep a smile on her face.
