Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Lunch was steady. A bit quicker to fill up than what I'd seen in the past. Several 5 and 6 tops walking in. Sushi bar and kitchen both seemed pretty busy all shift, but no crazy long ticket times. Things died off around 2pm. I cut Grace then. Cut Kelly at 2:30pm and left Krystin and Mandy on to close.

Dinner was busy. We had a long line at the door at open and were full by 6pm. I think the time change got the crowd going earlier. Still, lots of people came in, and several decided not to wait. Had a six top walk in just after we filled up. They didn't stay. We didn't get off wait until 8:45. I cut Krystin, Grace and Meagan then. Kelly was cut at 9:15.

Specials: 12 tsubugai, 21 seared hama-toro, 11 oyster

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): Gabe called in for both of his shifts today. He said he was been working with a broken or cracked rib and thought he could pull off another day. He says he'll be going to the doctor. I told him we will need a note. I handled most of the SA'ing duties with Chelsea and John helping out a lot as well. The servers were great about pre-bussing, even outside their sections.
-Renee came in to work this morning, but left because she had injured her ankle the night before playing with a dog. She completed her opening side work and came to me telling me she couldn't work the floor. Grace was kind enough to come in and work for her on very short notice. I took care of her lunch with employee Kome bucks.
-Meagan was late today by about 10 minutes. I gave her a warning, explained the policy about calling when running late. She was pretty panicked being at the host stand solo with a line out the door at opening, but she settled down before Patrick came in. I know a few people have encouraged her "irrashaimase" and she tried it out some tonight. She was very apologetic about being tardy.
-Mr. Tran has little regard for people carrying full trays around corners or through narrow walkways. I don't know if he gets that when people say "corner," or "coming thru," etc., and are loaded with dishes or food, it may not be a good idea for him to lower his shoulder and barrel through anyways. I know it happened at least 3 times this weekend, twice tonight.


Any VIP's in? Lunch: Kenny, Old John, Toshi's family, Marco that used to work at Daruma, Dena that used to work here and Grace's roommate Sarah. A few other faces I recognized. The only persojn I recognized from dinner was Rachel. She was with a group I'd never seen before. Lots of new faces.

Comps& Void Detail: Emplyee Kome bucks for Grace. Customer Kome bucks for Toshi's fam and Grace's roommate.
Comp'd an order of meatballs at lunch. Table said their Kayaku's didn't have chicken in them and when some was brought out it was only one order's worth. All this came to me as they were paying out so I just comped the meatballs.
