Lunch
Managers: Kyle · Report by: Sarah
FOH
Fairly straight forward lunch service. Biggest peak was around 1pm when most of the tables arrived at a similar time. This was handled well by the kitchen, especially considering they were missing a grill chef today. Everything went smoothly from a service point of view. We sold out of the John Dory fairly early on but still have Bass as a sharing fish. Quite a few returning guests in today, table 50 had previously visited us in January and were a group of friends catching up. The aircon pipe was condesating again and dripped on them, we moved the table and offered sorbet which they appreciated. We are still working on a solution with M&E for this. We also had a few as walk ins from 180 building. A real mixture of guests in today with some friends and family, regulars and people visiting us for the first time. It felt like a great mix!
Events / Reservations
Steady flow throughout service with the peak being at 1 o'clock. We had two large parties, one reduced to a 6pax on arrival. We picked up a total of 15 walks ins. Notable Guests: Jane Campion as a walk in, Robert Slotover celebrating his birthday, Juli Beattie, Tony Roche

Managers: Jolita, Kyle, Trent · Report by: Jolita, Trent

Tonight we hosted The Arts Foundation charity dinner. Guests arrived just after 6:30pm, with pre batched cocktails provided by Black Lines, who were a sponsor for the evening. The guest list was ever changing, with the seating plan being amended multiple times before guests arrived. Jolita took the lead on this alongside Lizzie, ensuring everything was set for when guests were seated. There were many familiar faces in attendance tonight, including Alvaro Barrington, Leo Robinson, Frith Kerr, Jeremy Deller and Silka Rittson-Thomas. During the main course, there was a live charity auction. The highlight item was a piece by Alison Katz, which sold for £6,400. Many guests came up to us as they were leaving to pass on their personal thanks, with Lizzie receiving a particular shoutout for how well she looked after a guest with a specific allergy. The DJ brought the event to an end just after 11pm.

There is always interesting and different food at Toklas however it was quite busy and therefore noisy. We had to queue to get in and had to wait to get staff attention. Overall another enjoyable visit.

Revenue: Lightspeed net ex-VAT · lunch = tickets opening before 15:00.
Events: split from Lightspeed accounting groups (Food/Drinks/Wine Events, Event Hire), shown within each shift. Booking detail and budget from the events sheet.
Events pipeline: sheet cost column (ex-VAT where entered) summed by month vs FY budget — unpriced bookings excluded.
Covers: SevenRooms non-cancelled bookings. SPH = food/bev revenue ÷ covers.
Sales budget: current month pro-rated to today; complete months use full budget. Events budget: events sheet (fiscal year).
Revenue forecast: actual MTD + normal-day rate × remaining normal days + booked events. The normal-day rate is this month's actual non-event-day average, regularised toward the budget's normal-day rate early in the month (an ~8-day prior) so a strong or weak start does not swing the whole month; it converges to actuals as the month progresses. Whole-venue events (≥£15k) replace the day; bar events keep ~70% of a normal day alongside the event.
Profit: restaurant Net Profit & Trading EBITDA from the latest MI management reports; updates monthly as reports are issued.
Guest feedback: SevenRooms post-dining surveys · Google reviews via Google Business Profile API (all reviews, paginated).
