Observation: The hand washing station in the kitchen was not readily accessible during inspection - access was blocked. Hand soap and paper towel was also not available except in dishwashing area.
Corrective Action: The hand wash station must be readily accessible at all times and properly equipped with liquid soap and paper towel in dispensers.
Observation: Some of the metal racks in the bar coolers have become quite rusted and can no longer be wiped clean.
Corrective Action: These should be replaced.
Observation: During the inspection it appeared that a large concentration of fruit flies was gathered under the stairs where the empty recycling bottles are stored. There are several boxes of empties on the floor. The area is also quite cluttered and not easily accessible for daily cleaning (sweep/mop).
Corrective Action: Everything should be removed and area thoroughly cleaned and re-organized to facilitate easier cleaning in the future. Empties should be stored in containers with lids.
Observation: The wooden shelves under the counter in the kitchen by the back sink (non-dishwashing side) are showing signs of wear, paint is chipping off the edges and surfaces are no longer smooth and non-absorbent.
Corrective Action: Shelves must be cleaned and re-painted. Any cardboard used to line shelves should also be removed.
Observation: The floors in the walk-in cooler are difficult to clean because there is insufficient clearance under the 2 shelving units. Also there are several milk crates stacked along the right hand side of the wall - all of which would have to be moved every day to properly sweep and mop the cooler.
Corrective Action: An additional shelving rack should be installed on the right hand side wall and bottom shelves of the other two units raised enough to easily fit a broom and mop underneath.
