20% sales for sushi rolls to Hurricane relief charities
Who worked: Cindy, Ruthy, Renee, Grace, Clair CL, Annie and Jenny H, Kelly Cktl, Hiroe FR and Beorn SA
Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Large pop at opening. We filled up in 30 minutes. Stayed on a solid wait until about 8:15. Things looked to be dying off then so I cut Cindy and Kelly. I waited to see if we'd get a pop, never can tell these days. I cut Ruthy at 8:50pm, Renee at 9:20 and Grace at 9:45. No ticket time issues. Sushi bar and Kitchen got hit pretty hard early on and powered through. People came hungry. No ticket time issues. If something needed prioritizing, it was the next item out.
Specials: 7 ebi chili, 7 yasai salads, 4 aji sashimi, 15 nigiri sets, $2245 in rolls sales- that ought to make for a respectable donation!
3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): Ruthy crushed everyone in the sales contest... pushing the specials. Everyone did their best and we sold out of everything but the nigiri set.
Jenny is making progress in becoming more outgoing, but plenty still to be made. We are a loud and noisy place. I noticed a couple of times she was waiting to be part of the response to the initial "Irrashaimase," rather than being the first to call it out. She still belts it out when she has her rhythm. I let her take the last hour of service alone, but we barely had any new customers.
Renee and Clair seem to be affected by their outside stresses. Maybe they just like to vocalize what is bothering them, which is fine. I mentioned to Clair when she was venting to me about an issue outside of work, to be careful to not carry that tension to her table. As a friend I want to help her, but as a manager I can't let her take something out on a guest. She understood the distinction, and maybe that helped her at least concentrate on her work.

Tonight there was new employee who did not know about employee parking and left his car at our customer parking. (Dusten found him and he moved his car), which I wonder if we have some kind of small new employee orientation. I can't remember if we decided to do it or we did it before and not anymore.. but I prefer the department manager sit down with new employees at their first shift and go over the employee handbook if we do not have employee orientation currently.
