Comments

-Coolers are at 4 degC
-Freezers are at -18 degC
-Dishwasher rinse temperature is at 71 degC.
-Hand sink and washroom sinks are fully equipped
-Operator is using a wooden grinder that has a stone inside for grinding spices to make masala. The grinder is brushed down at the end of the day. Will get back to you about whether this is acceptable.
-Operator has submitted a proposal to expand their menu and have seating (24 seats). As discussed, you need to keep your 2 processes separate i.e. foods that will be cooked, cooled, packaged and frozen vs. food that will be cooked and served to the public at lunch/dinner. All foods that are intended to be served during meal times MUST be cooked and then kept in a hotholding unit/warmer and maintained at 60 degC or higher. Any leftovers from lunch/dinner must be discarded and not cooled and frozen to be sold to customers as discussed. Customers are to use the back entrance door for entry/exit and not the door that leads through the kitchen. The prep cooler located across from the stove is NOT to be used as a dedicated "cooling" fridge as the temperature will vary due to it's proximity to the cooking area and the nature of the prep cooler (opening and closing of doors, etc). Use one on the coolers located to the side for cooling foods intended for freezing.
-Cheque received in the amount of $112.50 (permit fee from July 2017 to March 2018). Cheque number's 264.
