Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Started off with a pretty big line at opening, which I was sure was gonna stick around and continue on like last night, but it was pretty much the exact opposite. We almost filled up with that first pop by 5:45, and then it died out pretty hard. Picked back up to almost fill up again by 7. After that, it emptied out big time. Went 4 on at 8, 3 on at 8:30, and 2 on at 8:45 to close. Cindy and Clair got a trickle of tables around 9, including a walk in 6 top in the party room at 9:30, but that was it. So weird cause we got so many calls about if we were open, but it never filled up. Never went on a wait, and ticket times were great.

Specials: Kinoko Chazuke - didn't sell any to tables so employees finished them off as it was the last day for the special.

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

- Kazu was out, so we moved Spencer from Yon-ban to Ichi-ban and he did great. He was scheduled for 5:30 but came in just after 5, and went straight to town prepping the station. Luckily it was so slow all night, so it wasn't too challenging after that initial pop and the prepping. Andrew suggested giving him a gift card for his hard work, so he took two Alamo cards. Great job Spencer!

 Also, since there was no Yon-ban, I divided out the Yonban tipout and added it to the other four tipouts.

- Everyone else was pretty slow moving since it was so slow. Cindy was great and held it all down when she got a small handful of tables during the later pop.

- Hiroe was also a superstar as always. She was also very helpful in finding out where Kazu was, as she sent a Facebook message to his roommate's girlfriend, and the roommate called us and filled us in on the situation.

Any VIP's in? Just Old John today.
