Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Overall flow of the evening was very slow.  We did fill up pretty early as any other Sundays would, around 6:00.  But we never really went on to a long wait.  Constantly on the verge of going on a wait but not quite.  A table will walk in and a table will leave.  Kept emptying up and then filling back up all evening.  We did have a moment of pop right around 8:00, but again didn't last long enough nor was it much of a struggle for anyone.  If anything, few campers here and there became the result of few tables having to be on a wait. 
Cut the cocktial server at 8:45.  Followed with Melody and down to 3 on at 9:00.  Went on to 2 on post 9:15 and stayed with it for the rest of the evening. 
Though it wasn't a busy Sunday (nor a weekend), it wasn't necessary uneventful. 
Did have a regular come in today and Name drop Richard (the architect for our new location) in hopes of getting a FNF discount.  (name is Jordan and Allison)  Apparently Richard told them to ask us if they would get a discount, which was kind of weird.  After checking with Kayo, decided to send out a Ebi Chili for the table and some kome bucks for being a loyal returners. 

On a separate note, Clair came to me to inform that one of her table was being a bit rude to her with his smugness.  The customer had certain dietary restriction where he wasnt suppose to eat rice.  After Clair checked up with Sushimen, Kazu made a plate of Uni and Ikura Sashimi. When Clair returned to check up with the table, he gave her some shit talk about how the presentation was sloppy.  That other place he goes to will be more creative with it.  (I thought it looked nice.)  Just seemed to have a certain unnecessary tone with Clair.  Kept my eye on him the rest of the evening, but he seemed fine with the rest of his meal. 

One last note, when slow nights like this happens, it seems as small, minor mistakes tends to happen quite frequently.  Missrang that needed being voided, kitchen lagging a kome salad for 15min (which the table did not have any issue, but it was slow) etc.  Need to be more focused.


Specials:
Ebi Chili 9
Mabo Tofu 3

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
Not a whole lot of outstanding individuals, but all new FOH staff has been doing great.  Both Melody and Annie are getting better at the quote times.  Maybe over quoting a little bit still.
