    Since the routine inspection the operator contacted health inspector stating that they had two staff members with Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM)- Jose and Leslie. However; during Routine inspection only Jose's certificate was posted and during Routine and Re-inspection neither Jose or Leslie was present. As a risk level 3 facility this a CFPM must be on site during all hours of operation.

If this requirement is satisfied prior to 10/29/15 please contact health inspector with certificate information and ensure all certificates are posted.
