Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch was slow, but steady. The sushi bar never filled up, and the party room was never sat. I cut John at 1245 and gave the back Bs to Johnny so he could hopefully make some money. Went 2 on at 125. Had a steady flow of tables come in the last hour which helped to boost the sales. Never got hectic, but the flow of tables kept everyone busy until the end. Sayo and John helped Krystin & Johnny out quite a bit. Ticket times were good. No controllable comps.

Health inspector came in right at the end of lunch. We scored an 87. She admitted she was trying to get it done quickly. She was mostly concerned with cooler temps. She luckily gave us a pass on the sushi coolers, and prep fridge since it was the end of lunch. Had CSR come out to look at prep fridge. They'll be back Friday to service all of our coolers.

Dinner started off pretty slow. Eventually we filled up around 8, and hit a 30-45 minute. We had 4 walk in 6 tops tonight. That worked out well for Kelly who was able to get 2 of them after her 6 pm 12-top. Slowed down a little bit  around 9. Cut John at 9. Came off the wait at 920, and went 2 on. Ticket times were solid. Had a couple of tickets hit longer than normal, but all on tables that never went without something to snack on. No customer issues or controllable comps.

We had some excitement in the beginning of the shift when Liam and John tried to change the hot sake while I was in the bathroom. It ended with a sake waterfall all over the front of John. He had to run home and change. I saved the video to the desktop. I titled it, "Don't Go Chasing Waterfalls." Enjoy.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Leigh had another good day food running. It was a little busier in the kitchen today, and she seemed to consolidate her actions well.
-Kelly was the queen of pre-bussing tonight. When her 12-top got up there were only drink glasses. I was so impressed when I went to bus the table that I asked the staff to look at a perfect pre-bussed party room. I gave her $15 Kome bucks towards her meal as some positive reinforcement.
-John & Pat rocked the host stand. Had lots of drinkers and several big tops to juggle, and handled it with ease.

R&M needs:
-Had CSR came out to fix the prep area fridge. Just needed a compressor cleaned out. I scheduled them to come back out to service all of our coolers Friday morning. They'll be here at 730 am. He also said he should be able to get the sushi coolers in better working order.
