This visit was made to conduct a routine food safety evaluation. There was not food prep going on a the time of inspection.
A Big 6 poster was given and discussed.
Great job with the repairs and painting of the floors, walls, ceiling in the main kitchen.
A hand washing sink has been installed, but is not connected to the water yet. This will have to be connected in order for the kitchen to be approved to be rented out to another establishment. The floor will also need to be repaired to be smooth and easily cleanable.
If you wish to use the satellite kitchen, a hand washing sink will need to be installed as well. And, the floor, walls, and ceiling will need to be repaired to be smooth and easily cleanable.
Please contact me or Rachel when you wish to have an inspection completed to approve the kitchen to be rented out to another establishment.
