Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch started and slow and went then just went from 0 to 60. Went on a wait by noon and came off the wait around 1:45. Everyone put a good hustle on, no major issues other than someone calling us and complaining because there was no neighborhood parking and wanted a solution to that.

POS Solutions came at 3pm and changed out the terminals.

Dinner service was much like lunch. A powerful HH and on a wait by 5:45. We stayed on the wait until about 9:30 too. Didn't make any cuts until about 9:40, and went down to just 2 on. Solid night, lots of alcohol being sold, which was nice to see. Everyone was helping each other out. No issues. No complaints. Ideal night.

Specials:Whole Aji

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Marshall trained tonight as SA and picked up quickly. I would say his biggest area of opportunity would just be overall presentation of the table: lining napkins up, soy sauce with sesame and togarsashi, etc. But he was speedy overall. I chatted with him after his shift to see how he felt, and he said he liked it, just was feeling a little under the weather. I also checked in with John afterwards and he said he picked up quick and will do well with another training shift.
-Liam struggled a little with lunch but he was in the Back Bs. he's just trying to find his groove. No major issues, just had to watch over him a little and back him up. He did great at his dinner shift. He's got such a positive attitude and overall great personality.
-Sayo also needed a little help this evening, but tis the season with high maintenance tables and those that don't usually go out.
Everyone had a great attitude all night. Lindsey too. Great vibe in here tonight.

Any VIP's in?
Old John (gave him his sake)
Susan and a friend (her and Jason will be in tomorrow night too) Gave her her sake
Ingrid and James (gave them their sake)
Victor and his wife (how did we forget them for gifts!?)
Miho (for lunch)
Stephany (mgr at Italic)
I might be forgetting someone. There were a lot today and I didn't write any names down like an idiot.
Kaila from Serendipity (she's dropping off some wine for me tomorrow, FYI)

I only have 1 sake gift left but there are two names on the list that haven't been marked off: Rachel and Carlos, Ransom and David. I'm assuming one got it and one didn't?

Comps& Void Detail:
Pretty much all FNF comps. So they might be high. But i'd rather it be FNF comps rather than long ticket times, etc.
