According to Harish Pithadia, the manager, any mixing of ingredients for the frozen yogurt will take place on the stainless steel table, which has wheels. The preparation will take place near the hand sink, which will be installed to the right side of the freezer and cooler units in the back portion of the establishment. Then the ingredients will be wheeled over to the yogurt machines and poured directly in from the gallon jugs.

Should these procedures for preparation change in the future, an additional hand sink may be required closer to the frozen yogurt machines. Also, should any personal hygiene issues arise at any future inspections, an additional hand sink may be required at that point.
