  • There is food buildup in the walk in freezer and behind equipment in the wok area. Also there is detergent that has spilled on the floor by the 3-compartment sink.
  • There was a gallon of paint stored over soda syrup lines. The paint was removed. Also there was a spray bottle of glass cleaner in the drive through area on the counter. Discussed chemical storage. They were both moved.
  • Quat sanitizer concentration was too high in the 3-compartment sink and buckets. Per manager they have been having problems with the dispenser putting too much quat. Discussed having employees test the sanitizer everytime. Make sure to keep it in the sanitizer for 10 seconds and if it turns a blue type color it's too strong. The sanitizer was remade and the manager called Ecolab to take a look at the dispenser.
