Significant improvements in restaurant today. Facility has gained space by removal of extra items to storage unit however facility has outgrown current facility. The existing facility was never intended for the extensive menu that is observed today. Facility lacks proper exhaust canopy, venting and fire suppression system. Many power cords observed throughout facility observed today.
