Manager notes · 01 Oct
Lunch Managers: Kyle, Junyi · Report by: Kyle, Junyi FOH A busy start to service with a spike in covers from 12pm. The day was predominantly business trade, with two set menus hosted for PWC and Not box. One of the groups arrived later than expected, meaning both parties were seated around the same time. This worked well for the kitchen as the orders were similar, allowing us to double up and streamline the sending the food.
The terrace was available for guests who requested it. With the cooler weather, interest was limited, although a few guests did choose to sit outside.
There was a noticeable preference for quick table turns today, with many guests looking to be in and out efficiently and head back to the office. The kitchen managed the pace well despite the busy start.
At the beginning of service, the ravioli was removed from the menu due to a quality issue. This was replaced with a tagliatelle with girolles which was popular with guests.
Overall, a busy but well managed service. Events / Reservations Sophie Hasting (staff), Jolita (tasting), Jen Thompson Dinner Managers: Trent, Agu, Junyi · Report by: Junyi, Trent FOH We went into service with full sections indoors and one section of the terrace. The 500s also kept open today for potential drinkers, flexibility for guest wishing to dine outside, and walk-ins. The terrace dining was very popular until around 10 PM, whilst the drinking area quietened down shortly after sunset.
A handful of larger parties meant we had to keep a close eye on turns, but this was managed well and did not cause any issues beyond the usual 8PM rush when the larger parties arrive alongside firings of the older tables. The team communicated very well throughout service, which helped maintain a smooth flow of service.
We also had a set-menu booking of 12 guests joining us tonight. They opted for drinks on the terrace before their meal, and sat down about 40 minutes after their reservation time. The kitchen had to be slightly flexible as the vegetarian guests were not part of the mains consideration on the pre-order. However, both were manageable and resolved very quickly with no hiccups.
T401 Sabina Fatkulina's second visit this week. Herself and her guests were massive fans of our feta, ordering 5 portions for a table of 3. There were in mainly to revisited their favourites in the crudo and feta's from a few days ago.
T50 who has become friends of Toklas over the past year had a really enjoyable evening. They loved seeing Betsy again with them sponsoring her film at the start of this year With a big 50th birthday coming up in January they took Jolita's contact as they would love to host their celebration here. Events / Reservations We picked up 18 walk-ins on the night which brought us up to 201 covers for the evening.
Notable Guests: Sophie Donne (Staff) , Vanessa Classen and Sabina Fatkulina |

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).
