Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch started off real slow and then we got a decent pop around 1. Wasn't super crazy, but we did fill up and have a few tables on a wait. The Kitchen and Sushi Bar handled the rush well. Ticket times were fine. Had only 1 issue with a table getting some bones in 2 go-go rolls. I explained that sometimes the unagi does sometimes have some random small bones in it. I tried to replace them with something else, but they said they probably ordered too much anyways and sent them back.

Beverage order was done today. I'm hoping we get everything by the weekend.

Another busy shift tonight. I don't think it started off quite as busy as last night, but we had a line at the door when we opened. Hit a solid 20-30 minute wait by 6, and 45-50 by 7. Had several waves throughout the shift, and stayed busy until almost the very end. Didn't cut down until 930 when we came off the wait. The Sushi Bar got hit pretty hard tonight. Lots of nigiri and specialty pieces throughout the shift. Had quite a few 30 minute nigiri tickets tonight. The servers were getting pretty antsy, but customers were overall pretty understanding. Toshi jumped in and helped knock tickets out when the rolls were slowing down. Had some longer tickets in the kitchen as well. Had a lot of fry items ordered all at once which slowed things down a bit. Overall things went pretty smoothly considering the level of business. Just felt like we were riding that line of acceptable ticket times for about 2 hours which put everyone a little on edge. Everyone did a good job, and worked hard to get us through the shift.
