Tomorrow’s Service. Tonight.
The forward read of tomorrow’s demand, labor, and revenue risk — landed before tonight’s close, so tomorrow’s moves are made while there’s still time to make them.

Two nights out. One page. Read before the shift.
Otto PreShift · The CliffhouseRoyal La Jolla
Wednesday · 6/17— staff for it
Scorecard · Last night
We called +9% on Tuesday. You ran +7%. The miss: a marine layer rolled the patio 25 minutes early — weather we under-weighted. Labor held at 27.1%, inside target. We protected the staffing call even on the miss.
Weather74°, clear, light wind off the water at dinner.
PatternsWednesdays run dinner-dominant; same week last year posted +8% over the trailing four-week average.
LocalWedding block (≈40) checks out Thursday — they dine tonight, late and high-check.

The Read
The wedding block your own forecast doesn't weight pushes covers +14% over plan — about 26 guests above baseline — and lifts the check as the bar tail runs past close. Your schedule already covers it, so the upside is pure capture.
The Move
Don't add labor — you're staffed for it. Hold the patio's high-margin section for the 8:45 wedding wave, put your strongest expo on from 8, pre-batch the two cocktails that move at volume. This crowd walks fast — seat them.
Revenue on the table tonight, if you act

Thursday · 6/18— cut for it
Scorecard · Last night
We called +14% on the wedding night. You ran +13% and held the margin section for the 8:45 wave. The miss: one four-top no-showed at 8 — a point we couldn't see. Labor stayed at 25.4%. The capture call landed.
Weather64°, steady rain, 80% through close, wind to 16 mph.
PatternsThursdays trend mid-week soft; same rained-out Thursday last year ran 12% under the four-week average.

The Read
A wet, quiet night your plan is over-staffed for. Rain and wind suppress the patio and walk-in, the wedding block is gone, and nothing's pulling traffic — demand runs ~19% under plan, about 31 fewer covers. You have 78 hours against a night that needs 64. The patio won't turn.
The Move
Cut two off the open, hold one on-call. Close the patio early, consolidate to the dining room. Make the call tonight — not at 4pm when they're already driving in.
