Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
It was a busy start tonight. Long line at the door when we opened. We were full and on a wait by 6pm. Kitchen got hit pretty hard the first hour, but Daniel & Matt handled it well. Had a weird lull around 7 and started emptying out. Filled back up and hit an hour wait by 8. Sushi Bar got hit pretty hard during the second wave. Had a couple longer tickets, but most ticket times were great considering the amount of volume. Came off the wait a little after 9. Stayed pretty full until the end. I cut Alina and Tori at 9, and Renee at 930.
Had a 40 minute ticket time for 2 Nigiri Specials at S8. The ladies sat there without anything for long time so I comped one of the orders.
A lady found a hair on top of her roll. Lindsey showed it to me, and I'm about 90% sure it was her hair, but I wasn't going to argue with her about it. I comped the roll and apologized, and they were very understanding.
Had an issue with Tori misplacing a credit card tonight. We spent forever looking for it, and eventually realized that it stuck to the bottom of the other check presenter. This is a semi-common occurrence that I've meant to mention in the past. Our check presenters, while cool looking, are pretty impractical. Cards fall out of them often, and it's only a matter of time before we lose one. Could we possibly consider getting more traditional check presenters?
When I was checking out the Sushi Bar tonight I noticed the rice container still had rice in it. I asked Spencer and Lee about, and they told me they always leave out leftover rice for the Royal Blue orders. Maybe everyone was aware of this, but it seems unsanitary to use that rice after sitting out over night. We can discuss in tomorrow's meeting.
Specials:
Aji Sashimi-1
Nigiri Set- 11

R&M needs:
-The lever for the faucet in the large bathroom is popping off. It still works, but needs some super glue. I'll bring some in tomorrow.
-We need some new shades for the patio. Considering it 90 degrees today I think summer is coming quick.

How about getting this check presenters?

I like those. Those are the ones that True Food use that I really liked! Can we go ahead and order those? We'll need at least 40 (one for each table, sushi seat, and if anyone has multiple checks)
DeletePlease do.
DeleteAlso I do not see Tori's name under "who worked?" Was she a cocktail tonight?
ReplyDeletePatios shades are from Home Depot, the last year we had heard time to find particular color:size and ended up going to the store in Kyle. Will you go ahead to check first and see if HomeDepot in Mueller has enough?
I can check home depot today. I have to go get light bulbs for the outdoor lights. I noticed a few in our parking lot are out.
DeleteSorry I forgot to add her, Tori was the cocktail.
DeleteI know we talked about it last year, but maybe we can find a nice sun shade to go over the patio as well.
At this point, I would like to use same kind of shades we used previous years since it will be the last summer here and I don't feel comfortable spending extra money until I make the contract with John La Touf.
