Violations: Comments:
All refrigeration temperatures of PHFs were within acceptable ranges. The display case requires maintenance to lower ambient temperature to 41 F. Make sure espresso spout is sanitized once per shift at least.
All packaged ready to eat meats must have a use by date on the label once the package is opened. Any sliced meats also need to have use by dates if stored 24 hours or more. Hot water is a neccesity at hand sinks. Temperatures must reach 110 F. Thank you.

Violations: Comments:
Please monitor temperatures of Potentially Hazardous Foods during storage, preparation and reheating using a thermometer. Foods in cold holding must remain at 41 F or below in order to be safely utilized in your menu selections. Therefore please pay particular attention to the quality and efficacy of your refrigeration equipment including maintenance.
Professional pest control for fruit fly activity should be a priority throughout kitchen facility. Drain treatment should be included to prevent hatching of fly eggs. If flies are able to enter seating area it will become anuisance for clients.

If you are able to correct some of the trends cited today including cold holding, utensil storage and pest control it will be benificial to the quality of your food service operation. Thank you.

Violations: Comments:
If you are going to use a HACCP system for monitoring food safety, ensure that proper procedures for correcting inconsistencies are implemented. Because this facility is permitted separately, the presence of a certified food manager is required at all times to oversee food safety. If would be a good idea to certify the supervisor in charge of this facility.
