Who worked: Ruthy, Krystin, Cindy, Jason, Dusten CL and John Cktl, Brennan FR and Beorn training Cal SA, Kelly and Megan Host.
Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Started off fairly steady, had a little line at the door but not much. Filled up by 6:30 and went on a short wait afterward. Wait got to 30-35m at the peak and stayed there the next couple hours. Went off the wait by 9:25, and went 2 on at 9:30, cutting John and Kelly as well. Ticket times were good.
Specials: Whole Aji - 2, Tako Carpaccio - 0, Mabo Tofu - 5
3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
- Cal seems like he can be a good new addition so far. He has a strong work ethic, is very smart, but is a bit bullheaded and might be tough to give direction to. Just while going over intro stuff of the restaurant and Kome overall, he was just waiting to say "Yeah, I've been in food service for a long time." Oookay. Beorn said the same about him, so let's keep an eye on that.
- Cindy is a breath of fresh air some nights. When the other servers are whining about there still being people on the wait, and whatever else, she never feeds in to it and is always positive and smiling throughout, never a complaint.
- Dusten reported to me that Cindy was saying that John stocked the cooler really messily, and didn't take care to organize and straighten out the drinks and beers he was restocking. He also reported that either the servers or the SAs were leaving dishes all on the cooler in the dry storage instead of stacking them in the racks.
Any VIP's in? Andrew and friends, Derek and friends, Leslie and friends, Garry and Leigh (regular couple that are the owners of Nine Banded whiskey), a couple that used to come in to Banzai all the time with some friends that I've known for about 10 years now!
Comps& Void Detail: Emp Day Off for Andrew, Emp Day Off for Derek, Kome Bucks from Garry and Leigh, FNF Takoyaki for the old Banzai regulars, Kome Bucks from Cindy, Kome Bucks to buy two glasses of wine for the No Mess Up Contest (Cindy, Dusten, and Jason took theirs as $6 in Kome bucks each instead, Jason gave his to Cindy), Kitchen Error Baby Octopus, it was cold on the inside and customers didn't want another or anything else.
R&M needs: one of those water carafes apparently broke recently so there is only one. The servers did note that the ones we have/had are a bit small, and only hold about 2 or 3 glasses in there. Any chance we can order larger ones for the big parties?
86'd items/ need more: Katsuo, Whole Aji
I never bothered getting new water carafes, since we are moving to the new space and will likely get something for the whole restaurant that would work better for large parties.
