Critical: Certified Food Manager/Presence Required (corrected on site) Observation: There is no Certified Food Manager present at the beginning of the inspection. The manager at the beginning of inspection had an expired CFM license. General manager arrived during inspection and provided current valid CFM license.
Correction: It shall be unlawful to operate a food establishment unless it is under the immediate control of a certified food manager. It is highly suggested that you have more than one employee with the food manager's license. ORS Interactive, Inc. issues the required photo identification card with proof of successful completion of a certified food manager's exam.

Routine
Critical: Chlorine Sanitizer Solution Concentration based on pH and Water Temp Observation: When tested, the chlorine-based sanitizing solution was observed to be at a concentration less than what is required for effective sanitization of food-contact surfaces of equipment and utensils. Observed the sanitizing solution in the dish machie with a concentration of less than 10 ppm ppm total chlorine.
Correction: A chlorine-based sanitizing solution shall have a minimum concentration of at least 50 to100 ppm total chlorine when tested using the appropriate test kit. The level of sanitizer in the bucket was very low so very little sanitizer was being drawn into the sanitizer line for the dishmahcine. Replace with a full container of sanitizer and DO NOT USE DISH MACHINE UNTIL SANITIZING SOLUTION BUCKET IS REPLENISHED OR REPLACED WITH A FULL CONTAINER. USE ONLY 3 VAT SINK TO SANITIZE DISHES.
