Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
A little busier lunch today. It was a later pop, but we eventually filled up by 1230, and then stayed steady until close. Everything was pretty smooth today. Ticket times were good, and no customer issues.

Another slow start for dinner. It's that time of year. We eventually filled up and went on a wait around 7. Hit about a 45 minute wait at our peak. Mostly off the wait by 9, but a pretty steady last hour. Cut John at and went 3 at 9. 2 on at 935. Ticket times were good, and no guest issues. Sushi bar got hit pretty hard at the end, but did an awesome job knocking it out.

Specials:
Whole Aji- 2
Nigiri Set- 3

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Spoke with Hector at the end of the shift about keeping a better attitude, treating Ben with respect, falling in line with any changes rather than doing it his way. It went ok, and he seemed receptive, but we'll see. His overall mindset about what a job is slightly off. I just plainly told him that this is the job, he didn't have to stay, but if he chooses to he has to do what he's asked.
-Annie did well while John cocktailed during the rush. She's full of confidence and really friendly with customers, but her quote times were way too high at one point. I caught it, and brought them back down. Something to keep an eye on. She also has a bit of a defensive streak which I saw a little of tonight when I was trying to help her out. Also, something to keep an eye on.
-Ben seem to do well expo-ing at lunch today. I didn't get to spend too much time in the kitchen, but he's a hard worker and focused.
-Colton did a little better today. He seems to slightly improve each shift, but still needs a lot of guidance. He came into the office at the end of the shift and asked for feedback. I think he'll get there. It's just going to take some time.
