Corrective Action: All food must be protected from potential sources of contamination. No storage of food, equipment or supplies for the food premises is permissible in this area - remove all items immediately.
Observation: The commercial dishwasher is broken.
Corrective Action: All equipment within food premises must be in good working order. Operator has been using the three compartment sink that is available on site as a method of warewashing. If repair is not intended, the unit must be removed and replaced. It may be possible for this facility to operate using the three compartment sink for warewashing in lieu of a commercial machine but this will restrict the volume and types of food services that will be allowed. Under those circumstances a separate designated hand washing sink must also be installed, the triple sink alone would not suffice.
