Mgr Mtg Agenda : Operations : Switching the NA Bev options up? Keeping regular Ramune, and keeping the Green Tea the same one, but also bringing in a featured  Tea-  Phasing out Sysco- finding an alternative Kombucha- Emily will look into other vendors that produce Kombucha in town Phasing out Sysco for paper products- the one thing we still need to find is gloves.  Removing the Mango Mochi since we are still having issues with it. Replacing it with Red Bean Kara Age- having issues with the pre-cut pieces, so we will go back to cutting our own Hiyashi Chuka- keep running as a special until around Oct when the weather breaks.  Saturday shift- short staffed due to 4 people being on vacation- Erik came in early to prep for the special for the Cider Launch- but ticket times were too high.  Still waiting on hearing about a timeline for the pre-cut chashu-  Andrew noticed that the BOH aren't trained on the register- need to cross train the cooks...

Mgr Mtg Agenda : Operations : Andrew talked to our Uber rep- got Ramen removed. Cut off for service is at 9:15, so the ipad will automatically turn on at 11am and start and off at 9:15. He also talked to them about the drivers taking too long to get here- they will change the order prep time to 8 minutes so that they will get here sooner. Found out they have a 20 minute loading zone and they entered that into the instructions so the drivers shouldn't have an issue. we can flag drivers if we have any bad experience with them. Added a "wait at pick up window" for drivers so they won't interrupt the orders.  Doing a Cater2me for  the food that wasn't done for the first time Andrew contacted "forked"  Got our first Uber Eats invoice and made $313 for our first week.  Catering order for the 18th- Andrew will invoice them What do we do when no one can cover others shifts? Had to close Ramen at 8pm on Saturday due to Trejo having strep and no o...

Mgr Mtg Agenda : Operations : Andrew's role at NiKome- Andrew arrives at Kome at 7:30am and lets employees in, gets them set up for the day's shift- adjust wholesale pars if needed- gets to nikome around 8:15- packaging up the rolls, delivering to Thoms Markets (both) and RBG- when returns he works on prep- Tues and Wed leaves at 2:30 for manager meetings. When there are catering orders that need to be delivered for Kome it is his responsibility to go to Kome and start gathering what is need to make the delivery, or helping to finish the orders. Communication on Catering-   Shift leads aren't checking everyone out thoroughly enough- need to up their check outs and let the staff know that they can't leave until the have been checked out.  Chicken has been above temp all week at random times- is anyone plugging the steam table in?  Need to ensure this is happening.  Uber Eats:  Friday- 1st day we used it. 5 orders total for the day/night- first 4 n...

Mgr Mtg Agenda : Operations : Issues with Mochi consistency- is it the product or freezer? Emily always reaches out to James with JFC- but probably has to do with it thawing and freezing in transit.   Andrew will follow up with JFC about the chopsticks Cater2me: Ni-Kome is live- no ramen just yet.  Still don't have the check from the Retail me Not event. Operators meeting is every other Wednesday- there will another meeting this week Repair and Maintenance : Staffing : New hires starting after July 4th, and new hire Jackie should be able to be sushi bar lead- just concerned with her being too talkative.  Emily doing Daruma training- seeing that we have a lot Events & Upcoming specials : Photo shoot for Uber Eats this Wednesday Cater2me mock order this  Friday sample tray delivery
