Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Another sleepy lunch. We didn't have an SA because of a miscommunication between Zayn and myself, but we didn't really need one. We never filled up, and never went on a wait. 2 on at 1, 1 for the last 20 minutes.

We had one small pop, and had some longer ticket times on rolls. Went over 25 minutes on a few tickets, which isn't horrible, but hard to explain when we are as slow as we were. When I checked on the orders. Lee was moving like a mad man, David was moving at a snails pace, and Kazu starting looking at tickets when he noticed me standing there. I had to ask Kazu to help Lee plate rolls. Disappointing to not see better team work behind the sushi bar. Once they got through that small little pop of tickets everything was fine. The table was understanding about the wait, and luckily had a few appetizers so they weren't starving.  

Specials:

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Alyssa was great at splitting her time between the host stand and helping me SA.
-All the servers pitched in helping bus tables today.
-I followed up with Kazu and Lee about the tickets at the end of the shift. Kazu did offer help, and Lee refused. I explained to Lee there's no shame in asking for helping, and told Kazu that as Ichiban weather someone wants help or not it's his responsibility to ensure tickets are coming out in a timely manner.

Any VIP's in?
