Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunches have been weird this week. They were so busy this week last year. I figured the week between graduation weekends would be busier. Monday was dead, yesterday was decent, and today was pretty slow. We had a steady flow of tables between 12-1, but never went on a wait and business died out by 115. 2 on at 120, and cut the SA at 130.

Took awhile for us to fill up tonight. We eventually hit a 20-30 minute wait around 7. Another late pop tonight. Peak business between 815-915. 45-50 min at it's peak. Off the wait by 925. Cut Pat and 2 on at 930. Ticket times were fantastic all around.

Had one unfortunate incident when a table found a sliver of metal in their rolls. It looked like steel wool. Drew did a good job of tracking down the source. Apparently it came off the sharpening steel. David sharpened his knife and then cut the roll with it. I comped the rolls and brought out a remake quickly and explained to the table what happened. They were extremely understanding. Drew made sure David thoroughly cleaned his knife and station to avoid any more mishaps.        

Specials:
Whole Aji- 0 (I had a contest for it, but no takers)

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Brennan called out for his double. He called at 9am (glad I came in early) and was in urgent care. I appreciate the 2 hour heads up and doctor's note. Definitely seems to be a bug going around. He is scheduled a double tomorrow so hopefully he's feeling better.
-Melisa helped us out and picked up the SA shift tonight, and did an awesome job.
-Derek seemed to do well tonight, but section 4 was pretty busy tonight and at one point Krystin had to take over to get things caught up. Only his second train, and he has a light server schedule next week to help ease him into the position.
-I think Kazu might have pink eye. I asked him to go to the doctor and get it checked out tomorrow morning since it's highly contagious. Hopefully he's ok to work tomorrow night.

Any VIP's in?
-Rob
-Gary & Lee
-Vince and the kids
-Kirk from Mueller

Comps& Void Detail:
-Training Comp for Krystin & Derek
-FNF for Kirk
-Emp Kome Bucks for Melisa for picking up the SA shift
-Kome Bucks for Sophia's friend from Stubb's celebrating his 21st bday
-3 Bday Desserts
-Emp Day Off for Vince
-$3.75 in Kome Bucks for a table that claimed they only had 3 pieces of pork in their buta kimchi. I don't think that was the case, but I didn't want to argue with them. They said it was good, but just not as much pork as usual.
-Sushi Bar Error for a table that found a small piece of metal in their rolls.
