Who worked: John, Patrick, Zayn, Mandy CL, Alyssa training Veronica at H, Brennan FR and Chaz SA
Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Slow first hour. Got a pop but not enough to fill up. Mandy's section was nearly empty for a while. Only one 6-top walk in. I cut John at 1:30. Cut Patrick and Zayn at 2:30 and had Mandy take the rest. No ticket time issues. No food issues.
Specials: 25 glasses of Sho Chiku Bai sold at lunch, more than we sold all last week! We have table tents out for tonight.
3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): Justin does pretty well at the ramen. I checked the noodles randomly and they were good. Presentation looks good.
I think the Patrick, Zayn and John combination worked well. Pat and Zayn were good influences on John. All were very helpful to Mandy when she was on alone. Ran a contest on ramen+gyoza and the Sho Chiku Bai glass. Zayn won $15 Kome bucks, applied to his meal.
Alyssa seemed to be pretty thorough with Veronica. Veronica hadn't worked lunch. I think maybe Sunday lunches can be very different from weekday lunches, but this was her 4th train overall I believe. For the most part Alyssa reviewed things specific to lunch service and let Veronica take the reigns. We had an issue with the drain stopper in the sink in the first restroom. I showed them both how to open that one back up. I also showed Veronica the way I was shown to set up tables, so that everything is uniform. I told to her to not be shy about setting up B1 or the sushi bar seat closest to her if she isn't busy with hostly duties.
Any VIP's in? Zayn's GF.
Friends of Veronica.
General Toshi had a friend come by and fill out an application. I put it in Leary's box.

R&M needs: Kayo came in and dropped off a hot water pot from Sa-ten. It holds considerably more water that our two combined and might even fit where the old one was. I had some ergonomic concerns: it holds a lot more water, so it will be much heavier to try to empty. Also it the power plug doesn't detach like the others. I don't know how safe draining a couple gallons of hot water into a pitcher opposite the sink in the server station would be. On the other hand I don't know that there isn't a configuration that could be worked out that would for safe and efficient usage either. We could probably use just the large one if we could find a safe spot for it. So, it's in the office for now.

I also took old hot water pot home and tested last night, did not work again. So I am going to get rid of it.
