Weather: Sunny and Warm- 70s. Clouds here and there.

Special events?: Dog Farting Awareness day- Barnaby's favorite day of the year. Also, perhaps ironically, it's also Nation Empanada day.

Who worked:
Lunch: Krystin, John, Renee, Johnny CL. Brennan SA, Tori Host, Hiroe FR
Dinner: Clair, Krystin, Lindsey, Ruthy, Johnny CL.
There was a little mix up that occurred as a result of Dusten trying to get his shift covered- Clair told him she would swap sections with him if he couldn't get it covered- Johnny said he would pick it up entirely. Clair thought she was still closing. Dusten came in at 4 to help open- both Johnny and Clair came in at 4:45- Johnny gave the close to Clair because he didn't want to cause any confrontation.

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch was slower than anticipated. Picked up a little around 11:45 (we were full) but then cleared out around 12:30, then picked up again around 1:30 then cleared out. I cut Krystin & John at 2:25. No major issues for lunch. Smooth sailing.

Dinner was a lot of the same. Busy and on a wait by 5:30. The sushi bar got his hard around that time as well, but nothing took longer than 25 minutes- those guys were super solid tonight!
Booked all night for parties. The Eye Dr couple were our first party and had a large group, but loved every bit of it- they brought their entire team in. I send them a few bites on us and they were so grateful. The night was steady and we had a few no shows, and then a 5 top that turned into a 7 top as we were about to seat them and they got mad and left (this was told to me after the fact by Tori). But we were off the wait by 9pm and I cut Johnny & Tori at that time. By 9:30 it stayed slow and I cut Krystin. By 10pm it continued to clear out and I went down to 2 on, Ruthy and Clair. We had two 5-tops walk in back to back but Clair took one and Ruthy took the other. The night slowed to a close. The final table, a one top, left at 11:10 and we were clear.

Specials:
Aji: 2
Hama Toro and Suzuki Carpaccio: 12

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Krystin's prebussing was fantastic- only water glasses left.
-Lindsey was middle B's tonight and each party seemed to get her flustered. She did ring nearly $1800 as well, so there's that. And she did ask for help when she needed it. So I will also give  her that. Just need to keep her cool next time.
-Johnny was nice enough to pick up Dusten's shift tonight, but the miscommunication got him put in the back B's. I haven't been a fan of the fact that the servers can look at each others sales, and tonight it definitely backfired. Johnny looked and saw that he had $600 in sales at 8:30, and Clair had $1600 (working the sushi bar, where he was supposed to work). It sort of dampened his spirit a bit, though he kept his chin up, he went to grab the credit card slip from B5 and they had left him $5 on $70. So I told him I would buy him dinner, and that certainly lifted his spirits back up and he finished strong. There were a lot of doubles today (myself included) so I made sure to be the cheerleader of the team to get us through it. Krystin being here definitely helped with that, as she is naturally the cheer of the Kome team :)

Finishing everything up I have realized that Johnny never gave me his PM checkout. I have printed it and he owes $157. Please collect this from him ASAP- I text him already.
