PIC Walter Scott available for follow up inspection. All critical violations have been corrected. There has been significant effort put forth to correct all violations. A hot water booster has been added behind bar area to ensure a continuous supply of hot water. The ware washing machine in the bar area has been fixed -chlorine @ 100ppm. Test strips available in bar area as well. The soda guns, ice machine, and other equipment has all been cleaned. The cooler that was not holding properly was being fixed during inspection. I will stop back in tomorrow to ensure it is holding foods at 41°F or below. All of the drains have been cleaned to address the fruit fly issue-please continue to keep up with this to keep pests to a minimum. A door sweep has been added to back door to prevent entry of pests/rodents . PIC is working to alter door sweep to make it longer for added protection. Additional hair restraints were purchased and all kitchen employees had hair effectively restrained. Two cutting boards were replaced and third is on order. Thank you so much for all of the hard work. I commend your commitment to protect the health and safety of the public.
