Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Strong start and steady lunch. Went on a short wait for a hand full of tables here and there, but otherwise it stayed steady throughout. The start of the shift was a bit hectic due to some miscommunication from Andrew with Lee, and with Matt and Beorn (Marilu is out for personal reasons?). But Beorn swooped in and saved the day around noon to knock out dishes. I gave him a gift card for his hard work and he was very appreciative.

The kitchen didn't get hit too hard at lunch, seemed the sushi bar did. However there was an issue with the Kitchen: A8 found a piece of quart container in their Ramen. I comp'd it to Kitchen Error and apologized to the table. They were understanding. However this is the second time this week that I have had to do this. The last time it was Sunday lunch. 2 times in one week is two too many times!!!!

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Beorn, the superstar. Can we clone him?
-Spencer also came in early to help out at the sushi bar and train Abel on cutting fish and nigiri. He deserved a gift card for his efforts too. I just missed him though. I will get him one tomorrow.
-Johnny got a little flustered at the end of the shift. Alex noted it as well. But I asked if the rest of the staff was helping him out, since everyone else was cut. He said yes. This is something I want to talk about in the meeting- helping the closer once you are cut. I know far too often people retire to their "cut" island and fail to remember the restaurant is still running.

Any VIP's in?

R&M needs:
I bought some roach motels for the sushi bar, to be laid down after the shift tonight.

The woman that had the roach crawl off S12 and into her food called the Health Dept on us and they came in today to inspect. I told the HI that we had just switched companies and they did a thorough spray of the building and that sometimes they come out of hiding after that. Showed her the papers as well. She inspected the sushi bar and didn't find anything suspicious, but this just goes to show that everyone needs to start scrubbing their stations more thoroughly. Both kitchen and sushi bar. We could have gotten shut down over this! It's a VERY  serious matter.
