36. (1)The menu board supports are constructed of perforated metal strips, muffler clamps, U-bolts with exposed threads and hex head nuts. Things in the kitchen should be constructed not only to be functional but also easily cleanable.(2)There seems to be a motor cover or guard missing in the reach-in refrigerator at the evaporator in the refrigerator that has Sunday topping in the top. (3)There is an excessive long water line hanging down under the dipper well and on the floor behind this cabinet. Raise it up and tie it out of the way or cut it off etc. 0.5

8. There was a ground up cup lid in the ice dispenser. All the ice was removed and discarded. The bin was cleaned and refilled with clean ice. 0.0
17. The sliced tomatoes and the cheese in the top of the prep unit refrigerator were not cold enough. Both items were setting on grate that keeps the product up off the bottom of the pan. This type of refrigerator works by having contact with the pan. The grate insulates the product from the cold. If the pans were inside the unit the air circulating around would cool the tomatoes etc but the air at the top of the prep unit is not cold. putting lids on the pans would help and deeper pans could help. Removing the grate will also help items stay colder. (The grates were removed, deeper pans are being tried and the unit lids were closed.) 2.0
36. The menu board supports are constructed of perforated metal strips, muffler clamps, U-bolts with exposed threads and hex head nuts. Things in the kitchen should be constructed not only to be functional but also easily cleanable. 0.0
41. There is a slight sewer odor near the utensil washing sink. The air admittance valve (AAV)might not be working properly or there may be some other problem. 0.0
44. There should be a mixing faucet at the mop sink or with separate hot and cold faucets you need a "Y" connector hose. 0.5
45. Flat head screws with flat washers were used to attach a large corner strip the the wall. For a flat head screw to fit flush with the wall and be smooth you need counter sunk holes or it should be used with a proper sized finishing washer. Another option would be to use a different type of screw that fits flat against the metal such as a round head screw or truss head screw. 0.0

36. (1)There are some hex-head screws on the ice machine. Also the menu board supports are constructed of perforated metal strips, muffler clamps, U-bolts with exposed threads and hex head nuts. Things in the kitchen should be constructed not only to be functional but also easily cleanable. (2)There is a reach-in refrigerator that seems to be missing a cover or guard or grill, lovers etc over the evaporator. This area will be difficult to clean if something spills in there.(3)The edge of the ice storage bin for the cold plate has a crack that needs to be caulked. 0.5
47. Get rid of unused items in the outside storage out back. Keep that area neat and clean. Hang up hose neatly etc. 0.5
