Mgr Mtg Agenda : Operations : Can we do something about the noise in the shop? Something like noise-cancelling panels or something. It gets REALLY loud and we have had a few customer complaints. Probably shouldn't move forward with music events until we figure out the sound issue. It was very loud at the Event on Friday. Wine sales were up- Backpack wines event-  food item at holodeck happy hour was a huge hit- people loved it. For the last happy hour event we will feature the other food items we didn't get to feature. Another issue was the sound- the music was overly loud just because of the small space. Had some people leave because of the sound but others came in TO see the DJ. Need to reevaluate the sound before another music event.  Big food push on Friday night- Leo and Sam were working and they lost track of their ticket times- but needed a lot of coaching to get through it.  Need to remind all BOH not to point fingers and blame others for things that aren'...

Mgr Mtg Agenda : Operations : Watermelon drink: watermelon juice, water, lime, simple. Going to feature tomorrow for storytime and then release it in July.  New menu- mussels aren't available to go, neither is salmon doria,  Katsu sandwich and Egg Salad sand to go only.  Food COGs higher at 32% from bringing in new items but should see it come down this week. wrapping the bagels have helped, and taco deli pars change has really helped increase sales.  The ice bin is leaking onto the wood and is creating mold and it needs to be replaced. But after and in the meantime put a drip tray under the leak and run hot water through it as well ASM tonight- Doing barista test and discussing the new hires and progress.  easy on the dressing on the kale salad- easy on the starch and double frying of kara-age switching to canned wines in July.

Mgr Mtg Agenda : Operations : Menu: Marinated aji tama for Yakitori bowls moving back to cutting kara age chicken from East- JFC chicken is too inconsistent Sausage and fries- honey sriracha is good with the fries, but not great with the sausage. We use buffalo sauce with the kara age so let's find a way to use it for the sausage and fries.  No more Buffalo Chicken, and switch to "samurai sauce" Samurai chicken (honey sriracha) Sunomono- working on the recipe- needs more salt and vinegar.  Grab and go- eliminating the salads and adding more sandwiches and add the potato salad sammy.  Chi should be 8oz of chai and 1 oz milk getting potatoes from sysco now- they are cheaper  going through PFG numbers now but for the most part the items  all BOH tests are in, but Leo and Raymond failed it.  Print with me is set up- and there is special Print with Me paper (it's fancy paper!) So please make sure we aren't using it because if we run out befor...
