The rinse basin may be filled but should be changed out frequently while washing dishes, however, the basin is not required to be filled, running water may be used to rinse cleaned dishes. Discussed issue with operator; rinse water was emptied during inspection and running water was used to rinse dishes.

General Comments
In the first drive-thru, the water at the handsink was fluctuating between 120-138F. This is not a violation but could result in scalding or burning. The sink is supplied by an in-line water heater, may need to adjust the water heating temperature of the in-line heater. Recommend the hot water at the handsinks to be 90-110F. Follow-Up: 03/30/2012
