- 04. Does the operator use approved methods for cleaning and sanitizing equipment, utensils, and surfaces?
- Cloths were not being stored in a sanitizer solution during periods of inactivity, which promotes pathogen growth and could lead to cross-contamination. Corrective action: Cloths must be stored in an approved sanitizer solution during periods of inactivity.
- 21. Is the facility properly constructed and maintained in a state of good repair to allow for the safe and sanitary handling of food?
- 1. In the lounge, the underside of the left-hand bar counter is bare wood which has accumulated some debris. Given that there is a dishwashing sink beneath this surface, there is a risk of physically contaminating clean dishes/utensils and for the wood to become contaminated with mold and other pathogens. Corrective action: Once the bare wood is free from debris, it must be finished using paint or a sealant to render the surface as smooth, durable, easily cleanable, and impervious to moisture.2. One of the counters near the back of the kitchen has undergone a duct tape repair, however this is unsatisfactory because duct tape is not a cleanable surface. Corrective action: Operator indicated that they have materials to do the repair, but they haven't been installed yet. Please complete this repair. 3. There are missing floor tiles near the walk-in freezer, which prevents proper cleaning and can lead to the accumulation of debris and growth of pathogens. Corrective action: These floor tiles must be replaced in order to render the flooring as smooth, durable, easily cleanable, and impervious to moisture.
- 23. Is the facility maintained in a clean and sanitary condition?
- Some high touch surfaces (e.g. cooler handles) were greasy to the touch, and therefore require more frequent cleaning and sanitizing to prevent cross-contamination.

- 07. Do food handlers ensure that food is protected from contamination (unless noted elsewhere)(Critical)?

- 10. Are food temperatures during storage and processing being controlled to maximize food safety?
- Gravy was being hot held at ~ 55C. Hot holder was turned up and re-tested at the end of inspection. It was measuring at 70C. Please ensure gravy is being hot held >60C at all times.
