Be sure to keep handwashing signs in each restroom that an employee may potentially use and not just outside the door. Be sure all food contact containers surface are inverted when not in use to minimize potential for contamination. May want to consider cleaning seals of cooking area freezer. Be sure to keep all foods in after market containers labeled with common name.
Be sure to store food in individual containers and not food containers on top of food stored in a container (I.E. can stored with onions in a container). Be sure that all thermometers are located in the warmest place (I.E. near doors) of refrigeration unit and that they are easily accessible. Be sure to monitor temps on buffet and prep tables and keep all doors to refrigeration units/prep tables shut when not in use in order to maintain proper temperature.
