12/30/2014Follow-up
All food temperatures taken were internal. A follow-up inspection will be conducted on, or about December 22, 2014 to check on cold holding temperatures and fruit fly harborage. Foods are not at correct temperatures due to foods being left setting out at room temperature too long during service and deliveries. The walk-in cooler is not cold holding foods at optimal temperatures and can't be used for cooling due to the unit cold holding foods at 43*F from having a high ambient air temperature. It is recommended that the unit is serviced or thermostat adjusted. This unit should not be used for cooling until it is cold holding at proper temperatures. During the follow-up inspection the inspector will check the status of fruit fly harborage conditions and will need to see and verify routine pest management service reports/or invoices. The food and beverage manager will be the new certified food manager once the serve safe course is complete. A copy of your receipt or proof of enrollment in this class will need to be provided to the inspector during follow-up.
