Who worked: Kelly S, Patrick, Lindsey, Cindy, Dusten CL, Kelly D Cktl, Brennan FR and Beorn SA, Alyssa and Jenny Host.

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Started off slow but steady. A bit more than half full by 6, filled up by 6:30, went on a wait shortly afterward that was 25-30m by 7:15. Still around 30-35 after 8pm, and went off the wait at 9pm. Went 2 on at that time, also cut Kelly D and Alyssa. Just a handful of tables after this, and closed with two on. Ticket times were good!

Had a cute incident today, a man in a couple at A4 was apparently a local artist that's done some work around town, and a man at A7 recognized him and paid for their meal. So very kind!

Specials: Fried Marbled Potatoes - 3, Yasai Salada - 4, Whole Aji - 0, Bluefin Tuna Spine - 0

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

- Jenny is doing well at the host stand. Her greeting is very good, and she's working on being a little more outspoken. Alyssa had pointed out that there were a few things that could have been done more at the host stand at lunch (Brittney was lunch host) (making kids chopsticks and menus, wiping all the sushi cards, and peeling china markers) so let's keep on eye on hosts when closing lunch.

- Had a small sake bottle contest, and Lindsey won herself a gift card.

- Peter is really killing it with his greetings! Very impressive.

- Beorn had another good tip today. He let me know that at the end of the night, the sushi bar tends to bring back their dishes from service all up at once and put them in the dish bins in unorganized piles. I asked the sushi bar to try to organize them a little bit before putting them in the dish pit at the end of the night and they were all understanding.

Any VIP's in? John, Jason and Susan, a friend from college Patrick with his husband, coming in during house hunting.

Comps& Void Detail: DNL Tonpei-yaki, customer said it was too rich for them. FNF Sunomono for Patrick, Void Eel Box Server Error, it was a mark on the sushi card that wasn't cleaned. Void server error hot sake and Sapporo, folks got on the wait and ordered it and then decided not to stay for the wait. Void crunchy dynamite, the customer meant dynamite chicken.

R&M needs: the front door alarm went off around 8:15, no clue why. It said it was tampered with, but it looked fine and stopped as soon as the door shut again. Very weird.

86'd items/ need more: hot sake glasses (already texted Leary to let him know). Uni, Japanese Uni, Tonpeiyaki
