Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
It was the complete opposite of yesterday. We were so slow. Only half full at our peak. It's a nice patio day, but so was yesterday. Sunday is a heavier brunch day, and maybe people are hung over from celebrating that big UT win yesterday. Ticket times were great. No customer issues.

Specials:

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-No real standouts. The staff was unchallenged.
- Forgot to mention in yesterday's blog that I had a talk with John about pre-bussing. He had left every single dish on one of his tables. When they got up I went to help Beorn bus the table since it was such a mess. At that point there were only 3 tables in his section, but it was a busy and he was about to get sat so I gave him the benefit of the doubt that maybe he was tied up with something. When I came into the wait station with a tray full of every dish from his 5-top he was just sitting on a terminal adjusting tips. I told him that I couldn't understand why he thought was ok, and that every table the rest of the shift better be perfectly pre-bussed. He was more aware the rest of the shift. I talked with him at the end of the shift and told him it's disappointing to read about his lack of helping the dishwasher in the blog, and then have him put the extra burden on the SA the next shift I worked with. It seems baffling because he has worked both of those positions, and should know how important it is to pre-bus or organize dishes. We all need to keep an eye on John and make sure that he's not developing a pattern of complacency.
