**No temperature logs or dishwasher sanitizer logs were taken. As mentioned in the previous report, this is to be done at the beginning of the day so that you can fix any malfunctioning equipment**
2. Hygiene and Sanitizing
- As noted, ONLY ONE sanitizer spray bottle is present in the restaurant. You will need one spray bottle for every distinct food prep area (e.g. front of kitchen, back of kitchen, bar area, and bakery area)
- Hand wash stations in restrooms (client and employee), bar area, and kitchen stocked with hot/cold running water, liquid soap, and single-use paper towels. WARNING: Take care not to place any equipment in front of the hand wash station, as it prevents employees from freely accessing the hand wash sink
- Sanitizer spray bottle at 200 ppm quaternary ammonium compound (quats). Sanitizer dispenser also releases quats at 200 ppm
- Low-temperature dishwasher reached 50 ppm AFTER chlorine feed line was unclogged
3. Storage
- Food items stored at least 6" off the floor
- Food items are generally covered and protected from contamination
- Scoops used for dry storage bins. Reminder: Only scoops are to be used. No bowls or cups are allowed since food handlers' hands can touch the bulk food items
- Dry storage and cooler areas well organized

- Mechanical traps opened did not contain any rodents
- Professional pest control company conducts routine monthly audits
5. Administrative

THE FOLLOWING REQUIRES YOUR ATTENTION BEFORE THE FOLLOW-UP:
