Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
A busier start for lunch today. Filled up except for a couple of seats at the sushi bar around 1215. We stayed mostly full until 1, and then started to thin out a little. We stayed pretty steady until 140, and then went 1 on. Solid ticket times, and no controllable comps.

Another mellow dinner. Only had a few tables wait here or there, but never had a real pop. Mostly full between 8-9. Cut Alyssa and 3 on at 910. 2 on 930. Very slow last hour.

The 6 o'clock reservation turned out to be 5. I'm gave them the rundown about the cancellation fee, and sat them at B2 instead. They were very nice and understanding. We luckily had an 8-top walk in right after and got them sat in the party room. I ended up comping the amount of the reservation cancellation fee off their tab in Kome bucks since we didn't lose any money from the party. They were very appreciative, and the head of the party admitted they were going to be bothered about the situation before I did. They ended up spending a good amount, and were very happy at the end of their meal.

Had a real strange table that ask Ruthy to grab a manager so they could haggle the price of O-toro. The gentleman said that we charge the same as Uchiko for it, and I let him know that's because we probably get it from the same place. He then informed me that he knows where it comes from. I didn't take the bait and argue the point. Instead I just politely said the owner determines the price of the fish, and that's the price we go with. He said ok. About 10 minutes later Lindsey pointed out that he had taken his shoes off and rubbing his socked feet back and forth on the floor. A real class act. I did go by about halfway through their meal just to ask if everything was tasting ok, and they said yes.  

Specials:
Nigiri Set- 8

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-I gave Annie her write up today, and explained the importance of proper drink procedure from here on.
-I had to talk to Alyssa about the severity of not carding when cock tailing. She served some youngins that were just over 21 without carding. I let her know she needs to card everyone, and if she were to ever serve someone underage I would have to let her go. I will make sure to remind everyone once again at the meeting.
-Brennan awesome as always.  
-Zach started off pretty good in the beginning of the shift. It wasn't that busy, but he was doing well getting tables reset quickly. By 830 he slowed back down to his normal speed. He'll only be working 2-3 shifts a week after this schedule.

Any VIP's in?
