  • Non-food contact surfaces clean
    Cleaning is needed inside of the beer cooler, legs of equipment and floor drains. Some damage on the front edges of the counters.
  • Food contact surfaces cleaned & sanitized; approved methods and sanitizers
    Food contact surfaces of equipment and utensils not cleaned or sanitized properly. All lids and containers should be properly cleaned to remove the day dot stickers and sticker residue. One bottle labeled sanitizer was window cleaner, the bottle of sanitizer was greater than 400 ppm and the other bottle of chemical was an all purpose cleaner. Sanitizer is to be 200 ppm Quat and properly labeled. Label all bottles appropriately. The potato chopper needs better cleaning. The cutting board on the make unit is stained and need to use the other side. The custard scoop must remain in the dipper well and not in a mixing cup.
  • Linens, cloths & aprons properly used & stored
    General Comment. Do not store aprons on the same shelf as chemicals. The chemicals may contaminate the aprons.
  • No cross-connections
    General Comment. The Back flow device on the mop sink is not rated for continuous pressure. It should be replaced or the hose or nozzle disconnected every time the can wash is not in use. During the inspection the water was turned off.
  • Proper reheating procedures
    General Comment. When reheating items, warm them in the microwave or on the stove top and then place them in the hot holding unit. Chili warming on the hot holding line.
  • Storage spaces clean, storage above floor; approved storage for mops, brooms, hoses & other items
    General comment. All mops, brooms and dust pans need to be stored off of the floor. The file cabinet needs to be stored on wheels for easy cleaning. Store the mops so the dirty water does not run down the handle of the mop.
  • Single-use/single-service articles properly stored, handled, used
    General comment. Only fill the containers for utensils and tasting spoons to a level that can be used in one day.
  • Food protected during storage, handling, display, service & transportation; written notice for clean plates
    When storing items in the freezer, the chicken needs to be below ready to eat foods, not on the top shelf. If the 2 door freezer currently used for custard is going to be used for other items, those items (chicken, peppers) need to be on a bottom shelf in separate pans to protect the custard and other items that are put in the custard. Items on the floor in the freezer need to be stored properly.

  • Utensils & equipment properly stored, air-dried, handled
    General Comment. Air drying looks better but could still use some work. Be sure to allow pans to air dry before stacking.
  • Food in good condition, safe and unadulterated
