Who worked: Lunch: Kelly, Sayo, Renee, Mandy CL, Chelsea H, Leigh FR, Brennan SA.
Dinner: Grace, Cindy, Lindsey,

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Lunch was fairly steady. Definitely noticeable that its a holiday weekend. Several larger tables. Mostly 5's and 6's but a 9-top walked in as well. Ticket times at sushi bar went up to 20 minutes pretty quick. Some servers were uneasy as kitchen food came out faster, but nothing drastic. Had a good pop around 1:15 and started to dissipate by 2pm. Cut Renee then, Sayo at 2:30pm, Kelly at 2:45pm.
-Dinner was also lively. We filled up pretty quickly and went on a wait within the first hour. We stayed on a wait most of the night. Ticket times seemed better than lunch.  I cut Renee and Melisa and Cindy at 8:45pm, Grace at 9pm, Lindsey at 9:15 and Krystin at 9:45pm.

Specials: 2 Aji , 9 Nigiri special

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): Renee had no interest in cocktailing tonight. At least twice Patrick came around to tell her that she had customers wanting to order a drink. I put her to work helping Leigh when she'd get overwhelmed.
-I worked with Leigh a bit on improving her efficiency on the floor as well as multitasking and powers of observation. Hopefully some of that sticks.
-Held a bingo contest tonight. Krystin won first place. Was going to give her a $25 gift card somewhere but she wanted Kome bucks. Gave her $30. $20 to the second place winner Clair. Everyone was real close and it was a good night for the contest.

Any VIP's in? Lunch: John came in after the marathon. Dylan from Daruma. Jason and Susan.
Some familiar faces for dinner but not many, and not any I can put names to.

I took a reso for tomorrow at noon. I let them know about the cancellation policy. They've booked with us before, and I gave them a little leeway on the policy. I told them if they needed to cancel to let us know before we opened.


Comps& Void Detail: Employee day off for John, same for Dylan from Daruma.
We had 2 different tables pay for their meal using Kome Bucks that were more than the balance owed and wanted change. I simply re-wrote a remaining card and gave it back to them. One table had $70 in kome bucks (change from switching over the mercury cards to the aloha cards). Their tab was $55, they gave Krystin $10 as a tip which she used for her meal tonight and I wrote in $5 change. The other had a holiday gift bucks they used on a $12 tab, so I wrote in $3 in change for them. Weird.
Anything else was were misrings that weren't made and 86'd items.

R&M needs: So, Orkin has not showed up again tonight. They caught two large rats so far. Matt said someone came out this morning. Maybe they're trying to see if there are still more? Why not set traps anyways?

86'd items/ need more: Soft Serve
