Comments:
Previous recommendations that Joe Brunk had addressed have been completed. (See previous opeing inspection.) Marsha also took the demonstration of knowledge test and missed 0 questions. I also advised her to let her staff read over the knowledge sheet for a refresher on good food handler practices. The following recommendations were made by myself and will be completed before opening of the establishment: -Garbage dumpsters will not be utilized as of yet. Instead, Garbage cans with lids will be used and the trash will be removed from the premises daily. -Replace lights and missing light cover inside the hood vent system. -Remove the unnecessary stove unit in the basement area. -Caulk all joints in the counter top unit at the bar area. -Cover OSB foot board around the bar area with tile or other easily cleanable surface. -Have food handlers gloves accessable.
