Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
It definitely wasn't a line out the door kind of situation at opening. We were half-way full within the first half an hour, including the 14 person party. They were good eaters and drinkers and ended up only having two split checks, which was great for Justin. We had an average wait time of about 40 minutes all night long. Off the wait by 8:20PM and cut Megan T. Went down to the two closers by 8:45PM with not much action in between.
Specials: N/A
3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
Naoto and Grace did a great job all night with their section and the bar drinks. When the large party drinks came in, it was all cocktails and we were discussing that it might be easier to make them all if they were on two separate tickets. Maybe we could implement a no more than 6 drinks per ticket maximum?
Vern helped out running drinks tonight. I asked her if she had interest in training as a cocktail and she said yes. I think she'd be great!
All of the ladies at the host stand did a great job tonight of making sure people staid put on the patio and/or the lounge in order to get a drink. We definitely had less people looking impatient lined up at the host stand.
Justin did a great job with the large party. He kept everything organized and it was easy for everyone to help him run food and drinks.
Clair is also concerned about the change of sushi bar closer tip-out. I told her I'm not really sure what is going on and that I will talk to everyone tomorrow about it. I asked Naoto today if I missed anything that we discussed at the manager meeting on Wednesday, but he said he doesn't know anything about it either.
Kazu pointed out that the rice holder at the end of the sushi bar didn't get broken down today after lunch service. Is this a lunch server closer duty? If so, Kazu said it hasn't been done the last couple of Sundays.
Any VIP's in?

Comps& Void Detail:
Spill - cracked glass on a shot of Cazadores
Server Misring - Patrick wrote down yakitori, but they ordered yakiniku
15% F&F for Kayo's guest, Kazu from Fukomoto and Ice Cream F&F for Vic's friends
DNL for a Moriwase Tempura that the guest misread. They wanted just the brussel's sprouts
Spill 2 shots Espolon that were supposed to be Cazadores
DNL 2 miso soups that hit the table because the guest did not ask if they were vegan before hand.
R&M needs:
The A/C is definitely still not right. The temperature gauges don't match what the temps are in the actual dining areas. The panel for the middle thermostat (supposedly connected to the dining room/bar) keeps falling off of the wall.
The ants have infiltrated the office! Any word from Orkin? I swept and mopped the office tonight and sprayed the corner of the floor that meets the wall and desk with 409.
86'd items/ need more:
Both Veronica and Jake mentioned that we seem to be getting low on chopsticks.
Can someone tell me what is going on with tipshare?? I am unaware of any change.
ReplyDelete-The only change in tip share is the amount the sushi bar closer is tipping out. Like the old place the closers calculate their sushi bar tabs and tip 7% of those sales. It's same as it was at the old location for as long as I've worked for Kome so I'm unsure why Clair is concerned about it now. I'll follow up with her tonight.
ReplyDelete-Orkin was out here last week to put bait out. I called the service manager today and left a message. I will follow up with him about our current status.
