The handwashing station at the interior bar that was previously blocked is now fully accessible. The handwashing station at the exterior bar remains partially obstructed. The cash register has been relocated, but a metal counter at bar level extends past the front of the sink, and approximately 3/4 of the width of the sink. Todays findings will be forwarded to the Technical Review and Information Resources section for analysis. Additional alterations to the exterior bar may be required, and an additional follow-up inspection may be necessary.
  • Handwashing Sink / Accessible at All Times (repeated violation)
    Observation: One handwashing station located at the interior bar, and one handwashing station at the exterior bar are blocked by installation of cash registers over the handwashing sinks, preventing access by employees for easy handwashing. Installation of the cash registers was an alteration to the facility made after the 8/8/13 pre-opening inspection.
    Correction: A handwashing sink shall be maintained so that it is accessible at all times for employee use. The cash registers must be relocated so that all handwashing stations are easily accessible, and so that the relocated registers do not interfere with other required food service procedures or provide a source of contamination to ice, food, utensils or equipment. Cash registers are to be relocated as soon as possible, but no later than 11/19/13.
