It was not a violation during inspection because sanitizer was not being used but the quat sanitizer dispenser at the 3 compartment sink is hooked up to the cold water line. In colder weather months, the quat solution temperature will not meet the 75F minimum requirement. The dispenser needs to be plumbed to the faucet using a connection with a threaded union or a mixing valve should be installed to provide properly tempered water.
In the kitchen and prep area, the FRP on the walls and the skin on the walk-in cooler have been painted. These surfaces are not meant to be painted. If the walls are damaged, scratched, etc to the point that they can no longer be cleaned, the panels should be replaced, not painted. The back storage and dish area have not been painted but need some cleaning. If the paint starts to peel from the walls, the walls should be scrubbed to remove the paint or the FRP panels should be replaced.

11. Thoroughly Clean the slicer and the knives. The dish-machine was not sanitizing. Also there was no sanitizer in the bucket, just water. (The slicer and knives were taken to the dish room. The pipe in the sanitizer for the dish-machine was not touching the liquid. The bucket was tilted and the pipe readjusted. The sanitizer bucket was filled several times before it was mixed correctly.) 3.0
16. The cut-up sausage in the steam table was only 119 degrees and must be stored hot at 135 degrees or hotter. (It was dumped intpo the garbage.) 2.0
19. Do not store toxic cleaners such as degreaser on the ledge of the ice machine. Last inspection it was bleach and comet. (It was moved to the mop sink.) 1.5
28. No Points.....The dumpster is right out the back door. There are a lot of flies out there and some in the kitchen. There are a lot of sticky traps in the kitchen and in the dinning room and the flies do seem to be controlled. Keep the dumpster area neat and clean so there are not so many flies. Also there are fly traps that work well outside and may help to reduse the numbers of flies. 0.0
36. The microwave door is damaged and needs to be repaired or replaced.... The plastic threshold in the prep unit refrigerator is missing.... The pre-wash hose is damaged.... There is a cross-flow of cold into the hot water at the faucets where the Auto-Clor chemical dispenser has been installed and where the extra valve was added on the other faucett. Remove the extra valves or install proper spring-checks like used in "T&S" pre-wash assemblies. Also replace the hot handle that is missing on the faucet where the dispenser is located. 0.5
39. The plastic WARING waffle maker is not NSF approved. The label on the bottom says For Househould Use Only. 0.5
45. Clean-up the syrup spill in the dry-storage room. 0.5
46. The exposed light tubes in the walk-in refrigerator need to be properly shielded. If you use tube guards they are required to fit properly and have end caps also. 0.5
47. You need a mop holder that will hold a wet mop with the handle up so they can drip dry with-out mop water running down the handle. There is a holder but it is instaled to low. Today the mops are inverted and the mop strings are touching the handles of the other cleaning tools.....Also get rid of broken and unused equipment setting around on the floor. Everything should be up off the floor so you can sweep and mop down there. 0.5
49. No documentation of approved training - no credit awarded. 0.0
