Violations:
A summary of the violations found during the inspection are listed below.

Code	Description / Observation / Corrective Action
110	Food Not Protected - General Observation: Bags of french fries are stored immediately next to the handsink such that water drips down onto the bags when staff wash their hands. Corrective Action: Provide a solution such that the water from the handsink does not contact the bags or fries. For example, install a splach guard or provide a permant cover for the cart of fries that protects them from contamination.
110	Food Not Protected - General Observation: One of the line coolers was out of service at time of inspection. No food was being stored in the unit. Corrective Action: Ensure that the cooler is repaired to better accomodate the cold storage needs of the kitchen.
116	Improper Construction / Maintenance of Establishment Observation: Rubber flooring has been installed in the glasswasher area to address the concerns with water damage addressed on the previous report, however the mats are already warping. Corrective Action: The rubber mats in the glasswasher area floors should be replaced with a more durable surface that is also smooth, non-porous and easily cleanable.
116	Improper Construction / Maintenance of Establishment Observation: The dry storage area downstairs contains some unused, unnecessary materials. Also the dry storage area upstairs is crowded with too many materials, making it hard to clean. Materials are also noted to be stored very close to the hot water tank. Corrective Action: Clean and organise the downstairs and upstairs dry storage area and remove all unnecessary materials so it is easier to clean.
116	Improper Construction / Maintenance of Establishment Observation: The shelves in the dry storage area are not finished with an easily cleanble surface. Corrective Action: Paint the shelves in the upstairs dry storage area.
118	Other (Specify) Observation: Temperature logs are generally well maintained, however some days are missing. Corrective Action: Ensure that temperature logs are filled out at least once per day.
