10. *** A wire rack was in the hand sink. *** COS PIC said that the rack was for the dish soap dispenser, and it fell of the wall. He moved the rack so the sink was accessible for handwashing.

39. *** The were soda syrups that were stored directly on the floor. *** COS Boxes were moved off the floor when I informed the manager.

43. *** Utensils for the hot holding side dishes were in water that was above 135 deg F, but the water was visibly soiled. *** COS Manager removed the utensils from the water. The water was changed out for clean water. If the utensils will be stored in hot water, change out water more frequently. I recommend that each hot holding well has its own utensil that is stored in the well with the food so that frequent changing of the water is not needed.

55. *** The floor in the kitchen, warewashing ares, and side room with the ice machine are slippery and have debris buildup in hard to reach corners. *** Clean by next routine inspection. There is a large amount of clutter in the side room with the ice machine that makes cleaning corners difficult. Organizing that room may make cleaning easier.
