NOTE: Please ensure employees are reminded that the dishmachine must reach 120 degrees F. for each load of dishes washed/sanitized - it took six (6) runs during today's inspection to get to 120 degrees F. Having a sign posted concerning the need for the rinse temperature to be a minimum of 120 degrees F. at the dishmachine could serve as a reminder. Good job with all employees having proper hair restraints. Good job with storing chemicals separate and below food, clean dishware, and single-use to-go items.
  • Temperature Measuring Devices - Ambient Air and Water (repeated violation)
    Observation: Some coolers did not have thermometers OR did not have accurate,, working and/or visible thermometers in the warmest part of the cooler. .
    Correction: Put visible, accurate thermometers in the warmest part of every cooler - usually near the door. You can zip tie or hang these on the shelving near the door to help keep them in place.

    Observation: There is no refuse container at the area immediately adjacent to the kitchen/food prep hand sink.

Good job storing chemicals separate/below food, single-use items, and clean dishware. Observed a lot of hand washing during today's inspection - thank you! Reminder to have trash cans located near hand sinks.

Ordered 2 southwest salads with southwest dressing. Got home and had no dressing for the salads. Not a busy time so order should have been correct. If I have to double check my order before leaving, I tend not to return to that location.
