Walk-in cooler: 3.8°C
Upright freezer: -18.9°C

Sanitation:
Handwash station equipped with hot/cold running water, liquid soap, paper towels, and garbage receptacle.

Storage:
All food items were stored at least 6" off the floor.
Chemicals and cleaners were stored separate from food preparation areas.

In addition to the violations above, the following requires your attention:
Dishwasher not on at time of inspection. Unit will take time to warm up and cannot be immediately used. If kitchen staff starts cooking at around 1, someone needs to be in to turn the unit on before staff start operations (~1hr in advance).
If the dishwasher does not work properly, or if the wash and final rinse (santizing) cycles do not reach the proper temperatures, this could lead to an immediate closure.

Let your district inspector know if there are any questions or changes to your previously approved plans
