Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Slow start, but considering what happened yesterday, I knew it wasn't going to be slow for long. By noon we had a 15-20 minute wait, but sushi bar was getting hit hard, so sushi time was about 25 minutes on average, which pushed our quote times up to 20-30 minutes. Only a few minor hiccups. B1's Bento came out in a timely manner, but the sushi lunch took about 15 minutes more. They were getting antsy, so I comp'd the lunch. Liam also rang in a sunshine roll for them and wanted to take care of it, since the order took a long time (and the sunshine roll came out in about 7 minutes), so we took care of that too.
Later on, another B1 ordered Japanese Uni. Liam rang in regular uni. So I comp'd the 2 regular uni to server error, and told them guy that he can at least have a side by side comparison now. He said that he drove by here the other day, and thought "wow a sushi restaurant on Airport Blvd, looks a little out of place" (his words...odd, right?) But then he came in and sat at the sushi bar, solo, and tried a few things and was blown away that he had to bring his parents back. Super sweet guy.

Ran into the same problem this afternoon as I did last night: Rice being made on the ice chest. Clair needed to make a parfait and the rice container was just sitting. This also brings up another point, that it sits next to dirty glasses and dishes being brought in. I moved it on top of the dirty glass rack, and went into to get the ice cream. As I was scooping the ice cream I could see how hair could also get into the sushi rice, because my hair was almost hanging over it as I scooped ice cream. Just something for us to be aware of. If we are going to leave someone out in the open, we should really be covering it.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Liam was a pre-bussing super star! All of his tables today were perfectly prebussed, with only glasses left on them
-Brennan has really grown into his role. I look forward to seeing his progress.

Any VIP's in?

Comps& Void Detail:
Kitchen Error for the Sushi Lunch and Sunshine Roll.  (I think we need a "long ticket time" button)
ANA Discount
2 Uni Server Error

R&M needs:
From now on the dishwasher needs to dry the dishes when they come out wet. This is a health inspection point that we could lose. Kayo has reached out to AutoChlor to see if the heater in the dish machine could aid in that.
