May Wk1 (5.7-5.13)

Mgr Mtg Agenda:

Operations:

  • Clean and Rearrange: Tuesday at 8:30am -set up David to come move Revel- moving sushi bar prep area- be sure to tell staff so they aren't blindsided. 
  • Catering orders for downtown- doing them at Ni-Kome- Adding Kara Age and Edamame to NiKome Catering 
  • Andrea training- need to close with Eric 3 more times. 
    • Already knows the ordering and is comfortable with that
    • Knows how to open Ramen line
    • Knows how to prepare the prep lists but still needs to learn prep projects
    • Next week she will work just Sushi shifts
  • Erik leaves on June 2nd until July 4th
  • Signing out of 7shifts so that others can sign in and write the blog 
  • Secret Shop on Sunday: 
    • Gunnar was the Cashier- coach him on being a little more personable, he is very cut and dry, so he just needs to soften a little bit and become a little more lively. he can come off cold at times. 
    • Noodles were overcooked. 
  • Coca Cola orders- using portal to order twice a week and having space in the walk in to store it. 
  • NO EATING IN BOH or ON THE LINE. Take a 5 minute break and sit and eat. 
  • Favor: the only downside is that all the orders are called in. Andrew will look into Amazon Eats. 
  • New kara-age: need to mix the batter, and water and chicken and cook it immediately. If you make the batter beforehand it will become like a cement. So we need to mix to order. Need to have Andrea and Erik work together on a consistent prep/recipe. 
  • Making the "Spicy" spicier- Andrea changed the recipe to include habanero powder and reduced the amount of chili powder. Cashiers will have to let customers know that the spicy is different.
  • Specials:
    • Summer Corn Special- Andrea used the frozen corn, cooked it like the edamame, and tossed it in a spicy mayo. Will run for special as soon as Andrea costs it out. 
    • Trejo created a Hiyashi Chuka with Seared Ahi Tuna
  • Launching Menu changes and specials starting the weekend of the 25th. Have staff meeting on Wednesday the 23rd at 5pm for all staff to go over Hiyashi Chuka special and the addition of Takoyaki and sunshine roll. Add-on Window. 
  • Mr. Uki ,VP of Sun noodle, will visit on Thursday at 4pm at Daruma
  • need to have a conversation with Jake Starr that if he is the shift lead he can't give the shift away, he can't leave early, and he needs to check everyone out. 
  • Move Peter to shift lead
  • Emily looked into heat lamps
  • Joe Carr is moving into the GM position- Other Joe is moving over to Cookbook and potentially the DO for the group.
  • Andrea and Trejo to work together on a "Ramen Bible" similar to the sushi bar "bible"
