Comments

ITEMS CORRECTED:
- Staff personal belongings are now located in back storage area (cable cupboard)
- Ice cream machine is now located in bar service area. Ensure ice cream scooper is either stored inside freezer unit in container OR cleaned and sanitized after each use.
- Two door stand up cooler unit has been replaced with original smaller stand up two door cooler ensuring a space for dirty dishes
- Now space exists for dirty dishes to be stored in between hand sink and two door cooler unit
- Clean dishes are protected from contamination with shower curtains - acceptable provided they are maintained in clean and sanitary condition
- Garbage can from previous report is now located under two compartment sink


ITEMS TO BE CORRECTED:
- Staff personal belongings are to be stored in designated area ONLY and not in sushi area
- No using top of garbage can as food preparation surface even if the bottom of the container is the only item directly touching the garbage can as this is unsanitary
- Ice cream scoop is not to be stored outside of cooler unit unless washed in dishwasher after each use. As this is unfeasible a better practice would be to store the item inside a cooler or freezer.
- Food items to be removed from mop sink area and replaced with any janitorial item (i.e. garbage bags, chemicals,) and other items not needed daily (i.e. extra dishes and equipment)
