Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Another busy Saturday. Almost broke $5000 again, and we had a busy start to dinner so maybe today we'll hit that $15,000 mark. Had an earlier rush like last week and hit a 20-30 min wait by noon. Came off the wait for a second around 1 and then jumped quickly back to a 30 min by 130. We came off the wait by 230, but stayed pretty much full until close. Ticket times were good. It was a little hectic being one short today (see notes below), but it went pretty smoothly considering the sales. 

Had 1 issue with an undercooked veg temp. We tried to offer the table a remake on the house, but they declined. They said everything else was ok, but seemed pretty grumpy when I checked back. Sophia told me the dad at the table told her he almost broke a tooth the kabocha because it was so raw which seems a bit dramatic. I had the feeling the dad was trying to get the tab for free and was upset that it wasn't.   

Specials:

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-I unfortunately had to fire Kelly S this morning. She came in for dinner last night and proceeded to drink even though her drinking privileges had been revoked and she was on a "last chance" probationary period. I caught it on my way out and asked Zayn about it, and he confirmed. Her glass was pulled after we spoke. I followed up with Kelly this morning, and asked her why she thought it was ok to drink. She told me that she was still aware that her drinking privileges were not reinstated, but she figured that if she wasn't suppose to do it someone would come stop her. My jaw dropped when she gave me that answer, but that really kind of sums up the whole issue with her. I had already reviewed the large amount of write ups in her folder so after hearing her response I didn't really have much of a choice. I told her she was fired. I adjusted next weeks schedule to cover all her shifts.
-Ayaka did well for her first food running train. She was running food and had the table numbers down by the end of the shift.
-Kody seemed to be a little faster this week.

R&M needs:
New Asahi machine wasn't working this morning so I went to store and got some distilled water and baking soda. Naoto and I made another water mix, drained, and refilled the machine and it seemed to work fine by the evening. Let's make sure we're checking the temp before each shift to make sure it's working properly.
