Who worked:
Lindsey, Mandy, Ruthy, Liam, Clair CL. Kelly & Chelsea Host, Hireo FR & TR Patrick, Leigh SA (it's her birthday today!)

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Slow start to the night. We had took bets (without an actual wager) on what time we would go on a wait. Kelly Won. It was at 7:37. We had a 6 top walk in and a 5 top incomplete, but some 2s following it. We stayed on a wait until about 9pm when it slowed down a little. Cut Lindsey at 9pm, and went 2 on by 9:15 since it was clearing out and Clair didn't have anyone at the sushi bar.
No major issues, ticket times were good.

Specials:
Whole Aji. We did not sell a one.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-At one point in the night we only had 1 Asahi glass left in the fridge. I caught Mandy getting ready to go to her table with 2 Asahi Drafts in PINT glasses. I stopped her and told her that we don't do that. She was very defensive about it saying that no one ever told her that before. I find that hard to believe, but we need to make sure no one is using the pints for Asahi, especially on Tuesdays, when they're already super cheap.
-Chelsea mentioned that Kelly's menu cleanliness at the beginning of the shift was a little lacking. They looked rushed through. So just keep an eye on her Host Opens.
-Marshall mentioned that the rat traps behind the dish pit have had rat poop outside of them for the last few days (??) He said he's been sweeping them up, but asked if they have been serviced lately. Leary, have we found out what happened to our rat guy?

Any VIP's in?
-Meg & her daughter, Maddy. FYI: Meg and HD got divorced. She is VERY happy about it. It's been about 3 months. So, if you see her come in, make sure no one on staff asks about him. It would be real awkward, especially in front of Maddy
-Joshua Graves, the GM at 24 Diner. I know he knows me, but he was really awkward tonight when I saw him. I sent him 2 pieces of Sake Toro but he just was...weird about it.
-An Old Alamo Drafthouse Village employee of mine. I'm blanking on his name, but he was always super sweet. He was here on a date! (usually he's by himself) He comes in pretty regularly, so I sent him an AJI and Toro to impress his date.

Comps& Void Detail:
Some FNF for the above mentioned folks. Other than that, just had to void 2 miso soups, guest changed mind, 1 edamame overring, 1 endo that was 86d. I bought leigh her Oshinko Maki & Enringi for her birthday.
