Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch was steady but never anything more than one in and one out. Never hit a wait or got a pop of any significance. Waited until after 1:15 to make cuts just in case, but nothing happened so I went 2 on just as Annie was seating a 5 top in the A's (after double seating Derek two two tops) Leaving Clair with little to nothing. Annie said she didn't hear me call two on and was only trying to even out Derek's covers...even though Clair was way under. She said it wasn't intentional, but that left Clair with basically only one more table until close.

Dinner started slow- on a wait by 6:15 and by 6:45 we were on an hour and 30 minute wait! It got real crazy real fast. Everyone agreed to the wait time, but then about an hour in when we were paging people, we had a ton of no shows. The flow was mostly two tops tonight. Had a 6 top walk in and we quoted them 1:45 and sat them at 1:47. One of the girls in the party was acting very annoyed by it but I think they were just hangry. The night slowed around 9pm and we were off the wait by 10:15. I thought it would be a record breaking night, but it slowed too soon, sadly. I cut Rachel at that time, and around 10:35 I went 2 on. A 6-top walked in at 10:40, incomplete. Dusten gave them the low down and they ordered everything as their straggler joined about 5 til 11 and they were all in by 5 after 11

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Krystin the Super helper at dinner- in her downtime, helping to bus tables and always making herself busy
-Beorn seemed a little slower at lunch, as noted to me by Annie. He said he wasn't feeling well. He still did a great job at dinner service. And he has been working a lot of doubles, so I'm sure he's just getting a little worn.
-Alyssa and Rachel did a great job on quote times tonight. Though Alyssa did get a little frustrated later on when we were getting no show after no show. In total all night I think we had 60 covers that were no shows. She said that is what really throws our quote times off, is the no shows. I agreed with her but also reminded her that that is just something we can't control. and that she did a great job with accurate quotes tonight.

Everyone kept a positive attitude this evening, despite how rigorous the evening felt. I ran a contest on small sake bottles, but alas, no one won.

These Two girls whos name I don't know but they were here the night i had to kick out the loud frat boy party that was at B4. They were super sweet girls and thanked me again for taking action on that. I sent them two pork bellies and they died over it- just absolutely loved it. They also have a reso next Saturday night- I put a note in their reso to send them something from us. They've sweet and said they love every experience they have when they come here.
