Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch was pretty busy as expected, but nothing crazy. It took until noon to fill up, and then we had a steady flow of tables until close. Had a steady 20-25 min wait most of the day. Sat the last table at 1:55. Everything went pretty smoothly. Ticket times were overall good. Had some Teishoku tickets get a little high in the beginning of the shift, but Vince helped Daniel refocus a bit before the main pop hit. No customer issues.

Dinner was busy from the start. Had a Sunday-style line at door when we opened. Filled up half way right at open, and hit a wait by 6. The wait quickly rose to 40-45 min and held there most of the night. Sat the last table at 945. It was pretty much non-stop tonight. A few snags with a couple of kitchen items, and a couple misrings, but no major issues. No super long ticket times except for the missing Karaage ticket.    

Specials:
Nigiri Set- 23
Special Roll- 10

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Annie did excellent on her first lunch shift at the host stand. Not a lot of drinkers today which helped make the host stand a little easier to manage.
-Colton is still needing a lot of help, and pre-bussing was lacking tonight. Not a great combination on a bust shift, but we got through it. I bussed a lot of tables tonight. I don't think he's going to last, but he'll have to do until I can find a replacement.
-Megan was solid at the host stand while Pat cocktailed.

Any VIP's in?
Rob, John, Neil, Allison, and lot of neighborhood families that I recognized

Comps& Void Detail:
-Server Misring by Derek for a Tofu Steak that should have been an Agedashi
-Recovery comp for a summertime roll. A3 ordered a Karaage app that never came. Apparently neither station got a ticket, and Hiroe confirmed that she never saw it, but it was rang in. It was a weird thing, but the table was being pretty grumpy to Grace about it. I went by to explain that it was a computer issue, and she had rang it in. I took care of the cheapest roll on the bill, and apologized for the inconvenience. They seemed a little less grumpy afterwards, but very hard to read.
-Kome Bucks from Allison
-$1 Kome bucks for an item that was rang in right after happy hour
-2 Bday Comps
-SIN for Chill, Yellow Jacket, The Grand, Drink Well, and Whisler's
-Emp Kome Bucks from Krystin

R&M needs:
-Tighten up the water spout on the water cambro. Leak free for now.
-Petrocelli was closed today. I'll be calling them first thing in the morning.

86'd items/ need more:
-We're running low on soy dishes. I'll order more tomorrow morning.
