Manager notes · 04 Aug
Lunch
FOH
A busy Tuesday lunch service, quite a consitent flow, a slight peak at 12:00 and again at 13:15. No major turns, everything happened very naturally. We had a few larger tables joining us for lunch today, these were put in a timely manner. The bar did well to manage the handwashing of glasses, towards the end of service the guy came in to fix it, all back to normal for dinner service tonight. Overall a very enjoyable lunch service, a lot of compliements about food and service and guests wanting to come back in the near future. T300 Rory Ross Russel - Had a fantastic lunch with us, they said the food and service was so excellent and wanted to make sure the compliments were passed to everyone, especially the kitchen. T51 - Kristy Surace - One of the guests was so glad to have discovered us and said that he cant wait to 'show this cool place to all his friends'
BOH
No issues! A great lunch service.

Notable guests: Simon Milward, Asif Muhammed
Beverage
A fairly boozy lunch with a fair amount of cocktails and wine sold. More of a leisure crowd which accounted for this. T104 were drinking some nice wines with them opting for 3 bottles of the Dom. Matrot Puligny-Montrachet.
Dinner

We finally had some rain in London, albeit for 10 minutes. This didn't affect the terrace as was just before service but the weather did change a bit and whilst it was stil warm it was rather windy. This did mean that a few tables opted to move inside which helped with turns on the terrace. There was a big push 5:45pm to 6:30pm with 100 covers coming in. Peak was at 6:30pm and then most of then a trickle of tables coming in post 8pm. Managed to send a couple of the team home earlier as the sections slowed down a little. Seemed as though people didn't really want to stick around this evening on the terrace. The 500s had a few tables and some of the people dining opted to skip dessert. Definitely can feel it quitening down a little now we have hit August. That being said, still a good turnout and guests really enjoying the atmosphere and food. T102 Lauryn Sherwood found everything really good and were estatic to be offered a loaf of sourdough at the end of service. They were a lovely table to serve and left thier waiter a generous tip. T10 Siobhan Geary found the terrance a bit too windy today and was a bit agitated. They were moved indoors to conitnue their evening, which turned their experience around. They left happy.
BOH
Smooth and steady dinner service.

Beverage
A mixed night for wine. A lot of Vinho Verde, Toklas Rose and Verdejo sold. However there was some nice bottles sold also. T102 opted for a bottle of the Labet, Le Montceau which they loved. T108 went for two bottles of the COS Zibibbo. T402 also really enjoyed their bottle of Fumey Cremant du Jura.

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).
