Who worked: Ruthy, Lindsey, Krystin, Renee, Dusten CL and John Cktl, Beorn SA and Patrick FR, Megan and Alyssa Host.

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Had a little line at the door upon opening, and the restaurant filled up by 5:30, wait got to 30-35m pretty shortly afterward, and hung there most of the night. Got off the wait by 10 and went 3 on at that time, also cutting John and Megan. Cut Krystin at 10:25, and let Dusten take over at 10:45. Ticket times were overall good. Had a couple nigiri pieces reach 30m around 5:30, but Krystin had the items spaced out well enough that it was fine.

Specials: Tako Poke - 5, Whole Aji - 4

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):

- Great to have Patrick food running, he was very helpful with also bussing and bringing up dishes.

- Beorn spilled soy sauce on a guy at the sushi bar. He got a clean/wet rag so the guy could wipe it off and he got it out. I took 15% off their bill ($10) and sent them a soft serve as an apology, and they were very nice and okay with it. Beorn said they were super nice and understanding with him as well, but they still only tipped Dusten $5 on a $55 bill, so not sure if they were just putting on a face or what.

- Had a tako poke contest, which Krystin won, she earned a Mantis gift card.

Any VIP's in? Derek. Folks that sit at the sushi bar with their kid, but they were sans baby today. A few other familiar faces that I didn't recognize.
