Outstanding items:
1. Potentially hazardous foods stored in ice baths - see comments below.
2. Carpeted flooring behind cappuccino bar - see comments above.

General Observations:
1. Mechanical refrigeration units measured <4C.
2. Hot holding units measured >60C.
3. Hand washing station was equipped with liquid soap and paper towel.
4. Thermometers noted in coolers.
5. Quat sanitizing solution available for food contact surfaces.
6. Inspection was conducted following a very busy breakfast/lunch service - general sanitation was acceptable given the circumstances.

Recommendations:
2 bus bins ice baths were noted adjacent to the hot service counter and were being used to store condiments and a large container of coleslaw. Rotation of the coleslaw was discussed with the staff person on site during inspection. Based on the discussion there did not appear to be a breach of the maximum 2 hour holding rule at >4C. However this is likely due to the unusually busy lunch service. Whilst the use of ice baths is employed in other service areas for condiment storage it is strongly recommended that a proper mechanical refrigeration unit be relocated to this area to accommodate these potentially hazardous foods.
