CFM present during inspection. All food handlers were certified. Noticed the open cold holding display was holding at appropriate temperature on one side but temperature on the side with sandwiches was not holding appropriate temperature. Employees took away the drinks that were blocking air current flow and moved sandwiches to colder area. Maintenance will be called to ensure it is not a technical problem.
