Lighting in hood over fryers and grill area all working with good visibility. 3 vat sink drainage assessed by plumber, and working as it should according to plumber. Discussed, water still overflows drain if let out all at once. If stoppers are used that allow for slow drainage, and dishes are done correctly, that will suffice. If not possibly changing drainage to air gaps under each compartment to have less water going to each catch area. Dishmachine present and is primary means of dishwashing. Employee health policy training done with good knowledge. Food handler cards not updated, but per manager all without current district cards will test tomorrow.

Discussed, review employee health policy with all staff. Noted several pieces of equipment out of service or not working properly, and dish sink water overflows drain with air gap when let out, several staff do not have current district food handler cards, lighting is poor above cooks line and in room with chest freezers, and working instant read thermometer required. Instant read thermometer taken out to check not working. Follow up in one month for issues noted.

    Observation: Staff with mixed knowledge of employee health policy.
    Correction: New flyer given. Review entire policy with all staff cooks, wait staff and bar tenders, that have any connection with the restaurant part of the business.
  • Critical: Date Marking - Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Date Marking* (corrected on site)
    Observation: Foods in working reach in refrigerator that per staff are kept 2-3 days are not labeled with date opened.

    -Pizza oven

    Correction: Repair, replace, or remove broken or improperly functioning equipment. Ensure documentation is present for repairs or replacement. Refrigeration used for sandwich prep requires taking items from reach in refrigerator and preparing food on cutting board surface of unused prep table. If reach in refrigerator does not function properly - keep food in temperature - new refrigeration will be required to have adequate refrigeration. Keeping broken unused equipment provides harborage for pests and creates cleaning issues.
  • Plumbing System Maintained in Good Repair
    Observation: Water overflows the drain with an air gap when water in one compartment of the dish sink is let out. Drain cover is present in cup/funnel area of drain to prevent clogs and exclude pests.
    Correction: Remove drain cover and drain water from sink filled to normal capacity needed to effectively do dishes. If water still overflows drain, contact plumber to evaluate and correct problem/s. If water cannot be drained from sink, it is not likely that dishes are adequately cleaned in the sink. Even if the dishmachine is the primary method to clean/sanitize dishes, the sink must be operable in case of machine malfunction. Please also provide documentation of the last time the grease trap was cleaned.
  • Lighting, Intensity
    Observation: One set of lights above cooks line out - lighting dim, and lighting in room used for chest freezers so bad EHS left room to read box.
    Correction: Replace all burnt out lighting.
  • Physical Facilities - Cleaning Frequency and Restrictions
    Observation: Area below dish sink and soda mix stand, including in floor grease trap soiled. Bad odor present in area.
    Correction: Clean area, if grease trap has not recently been cleaned out schedule service. Flush floor drains.
12/09/2014Routine
Overall clean well organized facility with overall good food temperatures, good storage to prevent cross contamination, good labeling, with process needed to ensure foods are checked and discarded in time. Also discussed, foods dated both for FIFO and leftover. Ensure a clear distinction can be made between the two dates to avoid needlessly discarding foods. Contact EHS when repairs done for chemical sanitizers and when preparation refrigerator is repaired.
  • Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Cold Holding*
    Observation: Foods cold holding in bottom of preparation refrigerator above 41 F. Temperatures taken with EHS thermocouple, initial thermocouple out of calibration at 35 F, second thermocouple used and calibrated at 32.2 F.

Clean and sanitize refrigerator before use. Have maintenance done. If unit must be used before repair, use time as a public health control.
  • Critical: Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Disposition*
    Observation: According to the ""consume by"" date on the prepared ready-to-eat slaw, and sliced ham in the preparation refrigeration and sliced cheese in the walk in refrigerator. The food should have been discarded 1-3 days ago.
    Correction: Develop a process to ensure food labels are checked to discard outdated leftovers. Discard the food at this time and ensure all prepared RTE food is served, sold or discarded by the ""consume by"" date. Some harmful bacteria continue to grow even at refrigeration temperatures so limiting the amount of time in storage limits the amount of growth allowed for these bacteria.
  • Critical: Food - Consumption of Raw or Undercooked Animal Foods (repeated violation)
