Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Steady afternoon. We were almost full by noon and we went on a wait shortly thereafter. Wait times stayed consistent around 10-20 minutes through 1pm, and we came off the wait around 1:30. Went 2 on at 1:45. Nothing major to note. A8 sat for the duration of service. The woman said she was related to Toshi and asked that we make her a special sashimi tray. I asked what she meant and she said that Toshi makes her special sashimi when she comes in. I asked what she liked and she said Tuna, Salmon and Hamachi (her and her guest both had Bentos in front of them already) I wasn't sure what to send, so I just ordered them a sashimi lunch. They seemed to enjoy it!

Other than that, it was just a solid day! No complaints or comps out of the ordinary.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Lindsey really needs to work on her prebussing. She doesn't work a lot of lunches, so I just think she's not use to how fast paced they can be.
-Ruthy has a very bad habit of leaving her credit card slips laying around. When I handed her a bunch of about 10 I told her next time I'm going to hide them so she is more responsible in order to get her tip. She said "oh I already put the tips in". Which means she puts the tips in and then just leaves it sitting around.
So something for the shift notes would be to reiterate about keeping credit card slips safe and on them. They're as good as cash and need to be treated as such.

Any VIP's in?
Rob again, Aki & Yellow. Toshi relative
Scott Shull, a winemaker from Oregon that I met at the Portfolio tasting yesterday. When I talked to him yesterday I told him I worked for a sushi restaurant that also served Japanese Comfort food. He was really excited to check us out because he lived in Tokyo for a few years. He had the tempura lunch and loved it. I sent him a piece of pork belly as dessert.
