Routine
Operator to ensure the following prior to final inspection and issuance of permit: Equip dishwashing machine with proper set up for washing and sanitizing to standards on dataplate. Equip all handsinks with soap and towel dispenser as well as handwashing signage. Operator will also need to complete annual permit application and submit to Health Dept. along with the fee.
Cooling, Heating, and Holding Capacities Observation: Walk in cooler is being shared with Vinegar Hill Cafe and JABA and is not sufficient in number or capacity to meet the back stock food storage demands of the establishment if large catering events are prepared in this kitchen. Total daily volume of food to be prepared on a daily basis for both facilities is set at 200 people per day. This may fluctuate depending on menu and other factors. Also, operator will need to ensure adequate working refrigerators are provided at each cook's workstation in the training kitchen. It appears there is not sufficient refrigeration in the rear of teaching kitchen closest to the JABA kitchen.
Correction: It is recommended that additional backstock refrigeration will be necessary to maintain food items at 41oF if complex menus are prepared for catering. Overstocked equipment does not allow for proper air circulation and/or heat transfer. Improper food storage temperatures are a major contributing factor to foodborne illness. A memorandum of understanding has been agreed to by both facilities sharing the walk in cooler unit. Both operators agreed to ensure daily volume does not exceed backstock refrigeration capacity
