Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Lunch was pretty slow. I usually wait later to make cuts, just in case we get that Sunday morning hungover ramen pop. That really didn't happen. Had a 5 and a 7 top walk in early on. We went 3 on at 1:30 and 2 on at 2:15. I let Mandy take the rest at 2:45.

Dinner started out busy. We sat 20 covers upon opening and things continued to build. We were on a wait at about 6:45 and off a half hour later. Had maybe 5 or 6 parties leave simultaneously, and those that were waiting just weren't enough to fill us up again. Had a snag with the printer ribbon in the kitchen for a minute, but Matt fixed it and no tickets were missed. I cut Leigh and Krystin at 7:45, Grace and John at 8:30. Cut Cindy at 9:25.

Specials: 3 aji sashimi, 9 hama-toro carpaccio

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): I cut Leigh instead of Tori or John tonight. She's just not very pro-active at the host stand and I knew with John and Tori here, things would run smoothly.
-I originally had Grace as 4th cut tonight. Around 8:30 she changed color on us a little and said she felt dizzy. She had someone pick her up from work when she was done. Liam offered to stay on instead. She's been having ongoing issues with pressure build-up in her ears. Also, held a mini contest for the contest drinks tonight. Liam sold $60 of the Amabuki sake. No one else came close.
-Toshi cut his pinky finger pretty bad moving the refrigerator to clean around it. I helped him bandage it up. Can we get some superglue specifically for first aid or is that not allowed?


Any VIP's in? Lunch: Victor. Christine and Justin were our noon reservation. I think his name is Mark, the guy who sits at the sushi bar alone, used to come in for omakase from take frequently. He's been pretty sick for a while now. He looked relatively well today. Just trying to identify him. A couple other familiar faces at lunch. I recognized no one from dinner. Likely a continuation of the pre-Valentine's Day weekend crowd.

Comps & Void Detail: voided an Una Don misring. $40 kome bucks from customer, Kome bucks for Liam (>$5) and $12 Kome bucks for Cindy

R&M needs: Matt discovered that another lowboy chord has been chewed through and is likely what tripped the breaker the last night or two. He also thinks he knows where theyre coming in. Looked for sticky traps, but couldnt find them.

Elizabeth: I'm getting odd numbers on the Le Pive on the beverage spreadsheet. I did the math and we shouldn't be so off.

86'd items/ need more: Printer ribbon for the sushi bar and kitchen printers. If we have more already, I don't know where to find them. Trash can liners for restrooms.
