Who worked: John, Ruthy, Mandy, Clair, Krystin CL. Hiroe FR and Leigh SA. Tori and Alyssa Host.

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Started off slow and steady. Finally reached a wait by 7:15, but it never grew past a 30-35 minute quote time. Wait hung around until just after 9, but consistently short all night. Went 3 on and cut Tori at 9, and went 2 on at 9:30 to close. No ticket time issues today.

Specials: Nigiri Set - 12

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):

- Mandy got caught eating and got written up. She also said that Leslie's dog (Leslie was part of the 8pm reso) tried to bite her and although it didn't reach her, it got close enough to scare her pretty good (she yelped out from the party room). When she came out and let me know, some other servers reported that that is a common occurrence. That doesn't seem right to me...a service dog should be properly trained, and our servers should be able to feel safe when serving our customers. Luckily Leslie kept the dog under the table the rest of their dinner and took care of Mandy later, but it still didn't seem right.

- Leigh was slow and dragging again today. The wait toward the end of the night was just caused by the few open tables needing to be bussed but Leigh didn't seem in any hurry to bus them. Alyssa was rushing to get them cleared so she could seat the last few folks.

- John bought a small bottle of Bride of the Fox. Texted Dusten for clarification on if it's okay and pricing, and then Elizabeth when I didn't hear back from him pretty quickly. There were some conflicting answers, let's clear these up at the next meeting.

Also suggestions for opening and closing duties:

Opening servers: Making sure the ice cream scoop is out. There's always a mad rush to find it during service.

Closing hosts: Updating the sheet to say to sweep the bathroom and hallway leading up to the lobby instead of just the lobby.

Any VIP's in? Nathan, Rachel and Carlos, Leslie and party

Comps& Void Detail: Kome bucks from Tori and from Ruthy. One birthday Taiyaki. SIN from either the Vegan Nom or the Vegan Yacht, one of those. DNL Beef Carpaccio, Ruthy was doing omakase for a table and they said raw beef wasn't for them.

R&M needs:

86'd items/ need more: Endo, Toro. Out of FOH towels, low on BOH towels considering they will probably need to be shared tomorrow.
