Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: Sleepy Sunday. We had one party that waited for a table for any amount of time today. Sushi bar seemed more popular than the kitchen. Ticket times for Sushi lunches and a la carte items went to 25 minutes. Now that servers can easily see kitchen tickets vs. sushi bar tickets, it ought to make timing things out a bit more possible. No guest complaints. No major issues. I cut to 3 servers at 2:10pm and let Veronica go at 2:20pm.

Specials: Kohei's last day.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): Josh Humphrey and Peter Chen were both late this morning. Their write ups are signed and filed and added to their computer files as well.

Jacob Gibson called into his, 4 pm Age shift tonight at 3:28pm. He said he was in a car accident. He didn't mention being injured, but had to accompany the tow truck driver and wouldn't make it in. I sent Josh and Matt a text about it as they weren't around at the time of his call. I told Jacob to go onto hotschedules to see if he could find anyone to cover for him.

Ellen did well using her downtime to still study the sushi bar in addition to running food. Most of the FOH staff has been very involved in teaching her a thing or two.

Mandy brought me her paperwork, but never said anything about being ready to be checked out. There was a rack of tea cups I'd noticed sitting in the server station prior to this. Even if her side work is done, pretty sure she needs to checked out before taking off correct?

Any VIP's in? Somm Rob, Our TV Dad from our Grand Opening with wife and daughter. A couple other regulars. Victoria Resendez (is that her name- the girl Krystin worked with on some commmercials.) A couple of John's friends.

Comps& Void Detail: None! The only comps were for some nigiri sent his friends and for a glass of rose Sophia got for her post-shift drink.

R&M needs: Is there a better solution to storing washed chopsticks at the end of the night? I feel like leaving them in a quart container with residual moisture overnight is inviting bacteria and mold growth on them.
