Weather: Mid 80's this afternoon, 70'-60's at night.
Special events?: 16 years ago Houston music legend, Robert Davis aka DJ Screw ushered in a new era of gangsta rappers OD'ing on codeine cough syrup rather than dying from gun violence or natural causes.
Who worked: Lindsey, Grace, Cindy, Krystin, Sophia CL, Taylor FR, John training Brennan to SA, Chelsea training Liam to Host and Melisa also Hosting.
Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:Tonight has an odd flow. Very slow for the first couple of hours. The crowd built very slowly and we did not get full or go on a wait until about 7:30. Things tapered off at 8:30pm. I cut Grace and Lindsey then. I cut Melisa and Krystin at 9pm. Cindy and Sophia closed it down. Ticket times were good.
Specials: 2 Japanese uni, 9 O-toro, 1 Aji sashimi, 3 sesame pudding, 3 kokuto pudding, 5 fried ice cream
3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): I was a bit disappointed in John's training methods. Multiple times I had to coach him on how to train Brennan. John would rather just do most of the work and maybe have his trainee as his own helper. I explained that he needs to have Brennan basically glued to him watching each other's every move. Brennan will need a lot of work, and Joh wasn't doing us any favors by loosely directing him loosely to bus or reset a table. I cut John for the last 20 minutes of service so Brennan can get some actual practice.
-Grace has shown a good amount of improvement the last few weeks. Her stress levels seem much more maintained, she helps others and gets competitive during contests. I ran a contest on the puddings tonight. She tied with Lindsey in sales so I split $10 kome bucks between them.
-Liam's irrasaimase could use some fine tuning. His mispronunciations were too enthusuatic and funny to correct tonight. Didn't want to embarrass or discourage him. Gave him a few pointers for future hosting and for when HE trains with John.
-Sophia sold the only Aji sashimi in the contest tonight. Kome bucks for her.
Any VIP's in? Naoto, Broker Ben. I forget the name of the guy, but he is a photographer, Clair took a class from him at ACC. He and his wife sent back a gyoza saying it was cold, but didn't want another one. I tried them. They weren't cold at all. Sophia suspected they over ordered.
Comps& Void Detail:Gyoza mentioned above. Several misrings tonight, but nothing that couldn't be resold, or stopped before being made. Employee day off and employee kome bucks for Naoto. $4.5 Kome bucks for Grace.
R&M needs:Roger noticed a small roach crawling in and out of the soft serve machine... like behind the panel that covers all the electrical paneling and mechanisms.
86'd items/ need more:We need more men's t-shirts. Specifically black Medium and Large sizes. I gave Brennan an awkwardly fitting white Men's large today.
Mens tshirts should have arrived Sunday. I ordered more of every mens size, except small. ???
