Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch was pretty mellow. Steady flow from 12-115, but never went on a wait. Party room was never sat, and never filled up completely. Ticket times were solid. No customer issues. Went 2 on at 120, and only had a handful of tables come in the last 40 minutes.

Pretty chill dinner shift as well. Very slowly filled up, and hit a small wait around 730. Had a few tables waiting here or there. More tables waited to be complete than for an actual empty table. Came completely off the wait at 845. Cut Patrick at 845, and went 2 on at 9. Only a few tables came in the last hour.

Had one issue with a missing ticket at the sushi bar for 2 rolls for B3. Once Kelly let me know the ticket was taking longer than normal Toshi had the remake out quickly. The guests were understanding when I dropped the rolls so no comp necessary.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Kelly wins best section maintenance tonight. Really did an awesome job all around. It's good to see her taking some of her eval notes to heart.
-Maegan seemed more comfortable tonight. I was pretty concerned after reading previous blog notes. Right when she came in I asked her to walk through the restaurant and tell me the table numbers. She admitted she was having a problem with it, but had asked Chelsea for a copy of the floor map previously and Chelsea said she didn't need, and that they were easy. It seems weird, but not super surprising. She got a floor map from Elizabeth last night, and came in and had them down. I talked to Patrick at the end of the night and he said she was pretty solid overall. I think it's going to take a little longer for her to get it down, but she's good with guests. The jury is still out, but it's good to see improvement from previous blogs.    

Any VIP's in?

Comps& Void Detail:
Server Misrings for a roll from Clair, and a roll from Jason. both were accidental hits.
