Walk-in temp holding at 38°F. Rotated all produce from the weekend rush. Found two cases of asparagus buried in the back — still good but need to use today or tomorrow.
Rain is killing us. Only 3 tables seated for lunch so far and it's almost 1pm. Sending Maria home early — no point paying two servers to stand around.
Anniversary couple on table 7 — 25 years married! They requested the tasting menu. Let's make it special. Marcus, can we do something extra for dessert?

Opening the patio today! Weather is perfect. All furniture wiped down, umbrellas up, heat lamps staged just in case. First patio day of the season!
Lunch patio is FULL. Every outdoor table taken and a 15-minute wait for outside seating. Inside has open tables but people want the sunshine. Love this problem!
Wine tasting table on 12 is going OFF. They've gone through 6 different glasses and just asked for the reserve list. Sarah, when you have a sec, can you do a personal sommelier thing? They're really into it.
Heads up: we might need a 4th server for Thursday. Tonight was a bit tight during the 7-8pm rush. Tables waiting too long for refills.

IT finished the POS update. They cleared the cache and installed a firmware update. System is running much faster now. Should be solid for the weekend.
Private party is going AMAZING. Open bar hour just ended and they're on their second round of apps. Birthday speech was emotional — everyone's having a great time. Kitchen timing is perfect.
Heads up — sensing some tension between Marcus and the new prep cook. Nothing major but worth addressing. Kitchen ran smooth tonight but let's check in tomorrow before the weekend rush.

All hands meeting went well. Cleared the air with the prep cook situation — just miscommunication about station setup. We're all good heading into the weekend.
Already on a 30-minute wait at 6pm. This is going to be a BIG night. Bar is handling the overflow beautifully — apps and cocktails flowing.
86 SALMON. We're out at 8:30pm. Pivoting guests to the halibut special — similar prep, same price point. Need to double salmon prep for tomorrow.
Table 14 steak issue — ordered medium-rare, came out medium-well. Quick refire and comped dessert. They seemed happy by the end but let's stay sharp on temps.

Fish delivery arrived! 55 salmon, 30 halibut. We are LOADED for tonight. Let's not 86 anything!
Lunch is surprisingly busy — already at $800 and it's only 1pm. The weather is bringing everyone out. Might need to adjust dinner prep upward.

Bottomless mimosa crew is here and they are THIRSTY. Table 3 is on their 4th round. They seem happy so let's keep pouring.
Small maintenance issue — one of the patio umbrellas won't open properly. Think the mechanism is jammed. Not urgent but should fix before next weekend.
Sending Marcus and two line cooks home early. They crushed it yesterday and dinner is light. They deserve the rest.
