Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch was surprisingly slow for it being a "Federal" Holiday and business' being closed and all. I held out on making cuts, thinking we would get a late 1:15/1:30 pop, but still nothing. I cut Liam then, around 1:45 went 2 on, and then 10 til, just went to Johnny. He got one more last minute table. But that was about it. Had some rolls take 20 minutes. It was Lee on Niban and Andrew on San ban showing Yoshie how to roll, so that could have been the back up. Everything else ran smoothly.

Dinner was insane. We only had 3 on at open and we were on a wait by 5:20. Krystin came in about 5 minutes early so I put her to work immediately. Right at open we had a 14 top waiting in the lobby, along with a 5 top. It was the night of large parties, that's for sure. Cindy's section stayed a big top, with the exception of B8, and quite a few 5 tops scattered throughout the dining room. We remained on a steady wait until a little after 9pm. Cut Cindy around that time, then went 2 on at 9:40. It remained steady until close, but by 10:15 all tables had left. Crazy night. Great teamwork though. Everyone was on top of it.



3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Johnny was especially helpful despite not having a full section for his entire shift. On multiple occasions I saw him in the back, running food and helping prebus sections.
-Liam was fantastic bussing- keeping an eye on all things, and being productive his entire shift.
-John does great as a host, he's so friendly and personable, he makes even bad news sound good.
