Weather: Cool and drizzly evening

Special events?:

Who worked: Clair, Renee, Ruthy, Krystin, Dusten CL, Kelly Cktl. John SA and Hiroe FR, Alina and Melisa Host.

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Started off pretty slow. Didn't fill up until about 6:15, wait started growing pretty quickly once it picked up, hit about 45m - 1hr by 7 and stayed that way until 8:45 or so. The wait died off for a brief moment around 9:15, but I felt another pop coming and was right. At 9:30, a 6 top came in, followed by a 5 top at 9:50, along with a few smaller tables. Both big parties were sat by 10:10 and we were officially off the wait then. Cut Kelly at 10, then cut Alina and went 3 on at 10:15. Went 2 on at 10:30, and then Dusten took over at 10:40.
Sushi bar got hit pretty hard at the first pop at 6:30, but nothing went over 20-25 minutes and there were no customer issues. Over the course of the night though, there were a few significant discrepancies between run time of rolls and nigiri with Mr Tran on the zero-ban. There were a few times that tables would get rolls within 10 minutes and the nigiri would take almost 25-30. Ruthy had 3 pork belly pieces for the party room that took 30 minutes. Customers weren't put off by it too much, but all the servers were pretty frustrated with it at at least one time or another throughout the night.

Specials: Aji Sashimi

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):

- Ruthy is always looking out for her coworkers and it's very sweet. She accepted taking 3rd cut and let Clair be 1st cut so she could try to catch a thing she wanted to go to later.

- Hector clocked in as Kitchen instead of Sushi bar, Dusten and I were unable to figure out how to change it for him.

Any VIP's in? Richard Linklater, Susan and Jason, Abel and friends.

Comps& Void Detail: Emp Day off for Abel, one Yakiniku that was supposed to be a Yakitori for A7 but the kitchen ended up sending it to Abel as a gift. One tempura ice cream void, one of Clair's tables ordered one and then another saw it come out and ordered one too, but the kitchen didn't let anyone know we were out of the tempura ice cream for the 2nd order until the ticket had been in for 15 minutes. Reminder for kitchen to be extra vocal on 86's. Tried to give kome bucks to the table, but they left before I was able to. Did give Kome bucks to one of Ruthy's tables, someone ran her rolls to the wrong table, but we never figured out where they went. They were remade quickly and the customers were happy once they got the bucks. DNL Takoyaki for Dusten. Owner comp for Take, he came by and took a 6-pack of Oasis London and Hops N Grain.

R&M needs: hose of the sink by the sushi bar is leaking. Toshi said he is pretty sure that it's been reported, just wasn't sure if any arrangements had been made to get it fixed yet.

86'd items/ need more: Tempura Ice Cream, ikura, parfait.
