What a dream team tonight!

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Slow start, which was to be expected since lunch was on the slower side as well. Picked up around 6:30 and went on a wait- the wait did stretch upwards of an hour at one point, but as usual, folks were no shows, and the wait dropped dramatically. Got off the wait at 10pm. Cut Cindy and Kelly at 10:15 and went two on at 10:30. Nothing of note after that.,

Guests tonight were a little of the off variety and strange but it never amounted to anything. Just a weird crew. No comps other than a birthday dessert and 2 pieces of pork belly I sent out as "recovery" only because they were so sweet- they wanted to let us know the tempura crumbs on the Alone Together tasted stale. They were a nice couple and Cindy said it seems like they come in regularly, because they didn't look at the menu when they ordered. It was towards the end of the night and I told them it might have just been the bottom of the container, but that I would let the sushi bar know.

We had to make ginger wasabi set ups twice throughout the shift tonight. I know we ordered more monkey dishes but it might be time to up the par on prep on the weekend nights.

Specials:
Bitches Brew: 35!!
Aji Sashimi- 1 (and only 1)

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Alyssa and Megan at the host stand are a dream team. not sure if I mentioned that last weekend, but they really do a great job working together and staying busy.
-Kelly was barely noticeable all night- she stayed busy maintaining her section, and did an overall great job.
-Same goes for Ruthy. Well...she was noticeable only because she's Ruthy- but she was well composed and organized and didn't let things get out of hand.

Any VIP's in?
Dora Madison- actress- she was in Dexter and played Niki Walters (Masuka's alleged daughter)- She was also in Friday Night Lights and the movie Everybody wants some.
Susan and David
Old John

I entered the sales for today already and the total comps were 3% for the day with 1.79% being CTRL! Great work everyone!

R&M needs:
Ray from Petrocelli came out and looked at the duct work. Patched some "potential" problem areas that had to do with the vent and the flashing- though he wasn't convinced that was the issue. So...keep an eye on it.
