09/15/2015Routine
Had met and sat down with Katie Nunn, one of the Managers, on June 15, 2015. She was unaware of the cold holding/cooling project and after reviewing and giving her material to share with the other Managers indicated that a return visit will be made to start the project. On arrival today, Paul and Michele, were Managers in charge. Reviewed the cold holding/cooling project again, this time with Paul. He indicated that soup was the only food item that they would cooled down and that this was done close to closing, around 9:30 PM. Soup, according to him, is placed in plastic bags and then cooled down in ice/water bath before storing away inside the W-in cooler. He could not tell me whether cooling parameters were met. When it was suggested that we could insert a data logger, he claimed that his Head Office would have to give the okay for us to do this. He was not too receptive to us doing the cold holding/cooling project. I left leaving my business card telling him to check with his Head Office to see if they are in agreement for us to do this cold holding/cooling project.
About 5 minutes went by when Paul called me saying that his boss, Stacey from Head Office had some vague recollection of the cold holding/cooling project and that he would like to sit down with me and go over the project again and that he would call me tomorrow.HM
