     • Observation: Two of the prep coolers in the pizza/sandwich/station not working properly. One is being supplemented with ice as staff know it is not working and the other (clam shell) measured between 10 and 15 C. This unit does get to temperature overnight as indicated by temp logs, but not during the day. Food product in this unit poses a risk.
