Weather: another very warm evening. high 80s, low 90s.

Special events?: John's Birthday, my dad's birthday.

Who worked: Patrick, Kelly, Lindsey, Cindy, Dusten CL, Alyssa Cktl, Brennan FR and Beorn SA, Annie and John host.

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Started off pretty slow, didn't get on a wait by 7pm so I let Alyssa go. We had a brief wait from 7:30 to 8, but that was it. Annie sold only $66 of cocktail sales. At 7:45, the Brinks people showed up (of course, right during the pop!) and I was able to get a hold of Andrew who let me know what to do. We were off the wait by 8, I let John go at 8:15, since we hadn't had any more tables come in in a while, and it was his birthday. By 8:30, we went 3 on, 2 on at 9:15, and let Dusten take over at 9:40. Ticket times were good.

Specials: Mabo Tofu - 3, Yasai Salad - 4, Whole Aji - 3

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):

- Annie was definitely better today. I did stay at the host stand mostly for the first couple hours just to keep an eye on them, but I didn't notice any hiccups from her today. Since it was pretty steady, she was able to stay on track. She did let me know that John wasn't very thorough when he did his bathroom check before he left, but he did leave at 8:45 and she didn't check it until 9:30, so I'm not sure if it was entirely on him or the people that used it after he cleaned it.

- No other real standouts today. It was a pretty steady shift so everyone was able to get it done smoothly.

Any VIP's in? my parents, aunt, uncle, and cousin. Brennan's GF with a friend.

Comps& Void Detail: I bought most of my family's meal, Birthday Taiyaki, Mgr Meal Naoto came for 3x Topo Chico, 15% FNF for Brennan's GF and friend, Sushi Bar error salmon sashimi. When it hit the table, it was still a bit frozen, and we let the sushi bar know and they started making a sake toro sashimi to send instead, but the customers were full and didn't want it, so sushi bar reused it. Gave them $10 Kome Bucks for next time, and they were very happy. Dusten bought a bottle of Kikusui (Chrysanthemum Mist) at cost to give John for his birthday.
