Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times: We were initially pretty busy and filled up by 5:30PM. The kitchen got hit really hard and ticket times for a few edamames went past 20 minutes. Other than that, they pretty much got everything out in under 20 minutes. Sushi bar times were great all night. We had an average wait of about 50 minutes at the peak of everything with close to 70 guests on the wait list. We had two tables (a 3 and a 4 top) go over by about 15 minutes each. They were both very patient and we sent them edamame as soon as they sat down. They were both very happy in the end. I cut Alyssa and Melody at 9:50PM once we got off the wait. We also went down to 2 servers at 10:15PM since nothing much happened once we were off of the wait.
We remade a Midnight Sun after Damon pointed out that it looked like it had very little salmon in it. Toshi agreed when I showed him.
Specials: Vince's duck breast special. We started the shift with 7 to sell and we sold out by about 8:30PM. I saw a lot of the ABW Flavor Country go out as well as a few sparkling sakes and Camacho's mezcal cocktail.
3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
The bartenders did a great job all night when they had a few minutes of downtime to water and pre-bus tables.
Dobbins is always super helpful running food. I know she liked to run her stuff as much as possible, but she's always down to help run everyone else's as well.
Megan T. was trying to help Alyssa out as much as possible during the cocktail rush. She was running drinks and dropping off guest checks along the way.
Any VIP's in?
Barron & family
Comps& Void Detail:
Birthday X 4
Server Error - Krystin rang in a yakitori that needed to be a yakiniku, but she didn't notice until it came up in the window.
FOH Error - Mars Iwai - The guest was lost in the shuffle of the busy cocktailing rush.
F&F - 4 Zatoichi for Barron
Recovery - 5 total edemame (2 from the kitchen getting backed up and 3 total from the tables that got overquoted at the host stand.)
F&F - 2 Katsup nigiri for Dusten's friends
Kome Bucks X $15 - gift certificate
R&M needs: One of our high chairs is missing a buckle. It's in the office... I don't know if we can find a replacement somehow or if we would just throw it out, but I know they are kind of expensive, and I didn't want it to get back in the rotation on the floor.
86'd items/ need more: Low on disposable chopsticks and monkey dishes (The ginger and wasabi bowls)
Where are the disposable chopsticks held? I can order them but don't know ever to look for the back ups.
