During inspection, adding mixed drink service from the front counter was discussed. There is an ice bin and a handsink in this area, as well as a bottle cooler. In order to approved mixed beverage prep in this area, a splashguard must be added between the ice bin and hand sink. A light also needs to be added over the ice bin to supply light at a minimum of 50 foot candles. The cooler in the area now is approved for bottled and canned items only, not open containers. If mixers and bottles with open spouts are used and stored in the bar area, a cooler approved for open containers must be added as well. Beverages must be dumped in the kitchen, there is no dump sink in the bar area.
The wooden steps at the soda fountain in the wait station need to be painted or sealed so that they are non-absorbent and easily cleanable.
