308 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces are not in good working order [s. 16(b)]
Observation:
The following equipment was not in working order:
1) Dishwasher rinse cycle was 10C, no soap was being automatically injected, and water was leaking from beneath the machine. Dishwasher's are not being cleaned and sanitized properly, which will allow pathogens to survive and possibly make customers ill.
2) The hot holding unit (for the bacon, onions, & mushrooms) was not on as it had one setting which was too hot. Food was being stored at room temperature, which will allow pathogens to multiple and make customers ill.
3) Lights in the back prep area, and in the front service area are not working or burned out. Low lighting levels make it unsafe for workers and it is too dark to determine what areas are dirty.
4) The back prep. sink had no running hot and cold water exiting the faucet. Staff were using the 2-comp. dishwashing sink and hand washing sinks to prepare foods.
5) The back hand washing sink drain pipe is leaking. Water is pooling on the floor, which will attract pests.
The cooler drawers under the grill are not in operation for over a year. This is okay as there is adequate alternate cooler space to store the raw burger patties safely to prevent cross contamination.
Corrective Action(s):
1) Immediately stop using the dishwasher and have it repaired so soap is automatically injected into the machine during the wash cycle, and the rinse cycle water temperature reaches 85C at the manifold (72C at the plate's surface).
2) Immediately stop using the hot holding unit until it has been repaired or replaced. Precook the foods, cool, store in the cooler, and then reheat on the grill when ordered.
3) Repair the light fixtures and/or replace the burned out light bulbs so there is adequate light level. The light level shall be 50 lightcandles or brighter.
4) Repair the prep sink so that running hot and cold water exits the faucet and it can be fully turned off and on with the taps.
5) Repair the back hand washing sink drain pipe so that it doesn't leak.
