Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Busy night. Filled up quickly and went on at wait as happy hour ended.on wait still after 9pm. Had another incomplete 6-top walking in at 9:47pm. Kelly had some tables ordering large amounts of nigiri at our height of business, but ticket times remained okay. Kitchen did their best to keep up with the hands they had. Had an edamame take about 20 minutes to go out. The table wasn't fazed at all. When things died out I cut Mandy and Krystin. At 9:45 I let Sophia take the rest.

Specials: 7 Mapo Tofu, 0 aji sashimi.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): Rachel has moments where she may not be utlizing the best judgement, or simply not thinking at all. We tried to get Chelsea and Kate sat at S1-2 so Kate could visit with folks when they had a moment. Not 5 minutes after I mentioned this to Rachel, she sat some random people in that spot. She just does little things like that and only sometimes catches herself after the fact. I found the host stand lighter on the patio. I guess she let someone borrow it? When we were doing cuts, she wasn't letting closing servers know that they had new tables. I know that isn't 100% her responsibility, but a little communication goes a long way on a busy night. Maybe she gets overwhelmed?
-Warren has a great attitude in general. I caught him reading through one of our John Gaunter sake books before his shift.
-Alyssa did well cocktailing and filling in gaps with Rachel. She also made a ton of kid's chopsticks at lunch.
-Kelly broke the $2k mark in her sales for the first time ever and won Bingo tonight. She took home a bullfight gift card.

Any VIP's in? Zack and his Dad and brother.
Chelsea's friend Alex I think is her name. Tall blond girl that comes in frequently and usually solo.
Chelsea came in with Kate Loar for Kate's bday.

Kelly's first PR table were interesting. They spent over $500 but I also noticed one of them had written  their name on our table. I noticed as I was delivering nigiri and prebussing. I grabbed the marker off of the table. Kelly happened to be there as well so I used the marker to point to the writing and said, "That wasn't there when they sat down," so that they heard me. I was pretty furious about it, so I stopped running food in there because I could feel myself really wanting to stop everrything in there and interrogate the gentleman sitting directly in front of the scrawling. He at some point went to the restroom and Kelly took a rag and scrubbed the markings off the table while they were eating. B basically they were a bunch of white collar folks who had little to no respect for the restaurant, but all the money they needed to have a good time.  Kelly enjoyed the automatic gratuity on that one. The party took a little time to get out for the next group, so I sent the second party some edamame.

Comps& Void Detail: Guest Changed Mind for tuna poke. 2 bday desserts, fried ice cream and a parfait.
Employee day off for Chelsea, and also for Zack
Kome bucks for edamame to second party tonight.
Spill for one redbud and one liberty lunch. Both were dented and stashed in the bottom of the cooler for days.

R&M needs:


86'd items/ need more: We could really use some bar mats in the near future. Our current ones don't seem to have much life left in them.
