Adequate thermometer, quaternary ammonia sanitizer, and test kit. Reviewed employee health.
Menu changes/additions have been made since last inspection. Facility is now preparing its own pizzas. Crusts come in pre-made/frozen, pepperoni (pre-cooked/frozen), and cheese. Pizzas are made to order during slow periods and cooked in a small convection oven. During busy periods pizzas are made and hot held for a maximum of one hour.
Fruit and vegetable cups are now being prepped and served. Grapes (wash off and separate) and pineapple (pineapple is already pre-cut, but cut into smaller pieces) are placed in small cups. Broccoli and carrots also come in pre-cut/washed and are repackaged into smaller cups.
Chili and nacho cheese dispenser stay on 24/7. Nachos come in in single service bags that are given to the customer.
Pretzels are heated in broiler with butter, sugar, and cinnamon being added. Hot dogs are only heated to order during slow periods.
Milks come in prepackaged and are shelf stable at room temperature.
Notes:
1. Reviewed with manager on duty that the stainless steel table that has been added for pizza and fruit/veggie prep MUST be wiped down with sanitizer after being cleaned with cleaner/disinfectant for food contact surfaces. Suggested filling a spray bottle with sanitizer that is filled from the sanitizer compartment (that has been made/tested at 200 ppm) and keeping it under the prep table for easy access.
2. Fruit and vegetable cups are made once a week and MUST be date marked on the individual containers. Currently the date is placed on a calendar. All pizza toppings and hot dogs are already being date marked.

No violation noted during this evaluation.
