Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
AM:  Lunch started pretty slow.  We didn't get our lunch pop until a little past 12:00.  Went on a quick 5 min wait around 12:30 which was today's lunch peak.  Half the room was empty by 1:15, so we went two on right at 1:30.  Did not have any last minute rush today.
All food was coming out average  10-15 min. One Tempura Teishoku took 20 min to hit the table due to the kitchen having to remake the dish. Personally ran the food to the table and the customers were absolutely fine.  Leary did a check back and they were happy.

PM: Started slow, but turned out to be quite the busy evening.  Initially, we only had few tables here and there, but within the hour, tables were filling up and we were on a wait roughly by 6:30.  We had few tables quoted around 15 min or so, and by 8:00, we were quoting guests 35-45 min.  At 9:00, we were off the wait, but still had people walking in.  Over all, it was a busy evening, but part of it may be due to multiple tables camping.  Everyone worked hard and helped each other out to turn tables as quick as possible, while maintaining a great service for the table. Cut Alyssa at 845, and 1 on at 940.

Ticket times were pretty fast this evening. Kitchen was averaging about 10-15min ticket time.  One exception was a takoyaki that was at the very end of multiple orders of fried items.  Though even that was at 18min, which wasn't bad.  Brought the item personally to the table at A8, and they were happy.  Sushi Bar tickets were great. Rolls were coming out really fast tonight.

One Sushi bar error did occur with a Salmon Box at B4.  A piece of plastic from the wrap got stuck on the roll and was sent out to the table.  Ruthy brought it back and had it remade.  I brought that to the table, apologized for the mistake, and let them know the roll was on the house.  The lady is a regular, and was very understanding of the situation.

Party room that came in at 6:00, reserved for 6, turned into a 9 top before they were sat. Ruthy took care of the  party with absolute professionalism and efficiency while maintaining good service to the rest of her tables.

And finally, Kayo and Take sans friend, Ayaki Smith came into to dine with her significant other. Very energetic person.  Sent her a Torotaku from us. They were very happy with their experience but was sad to find out both Take and Kayo were not here.

-Alyssa was feeling feverish at the end of the night so we cut her. She's off the next couple of days so hopefully she's feeling better by the weekend.
-Zach had a good amount of hustle tonight considering it was his last week. Good to see him trying to finish it out strong.
-Juan, the new dishwasher seemed to do well tonight.
