Comments:

Inspection was conducted on the outdoor BBQ area only. Additional items noted/discussed at the time of inspection:
Gloves are being worn by staff when using hands for preparing food - discussed the proper use of gloves with staff (should not be worn when not preparing food; use a fresh pair at the beginning of each task; glove use is not a substitution for handwashing).
An additional set of tongs should be available for use in the BBQ area to facilitate regular washing of the tongs.
All cooler temperatures are satisfactory - ensure the lid on the prep cooler is kept closed when not in use to help maintain the temperature of food below 4 degrees Celsius.
Staff indicated that all surfaces are cleaned prior to opening in the morning - good.
