THERMOMETER - MISSING INDICATING
Thermometers in the coolers are not properly located - in the True brand single door undercounter cooler and in two of the Traulsen single door undercounter coolers, the air thermometers are pushed to the very back of the coolers. They must be located in the front of the cooler. This is required at all times howerver it is particulary important because staff informed that the temp data logging system for coolers is not working (a work order was previously submitted).
Correction: Provide or reposition thermometer so that it is located in the warmest part of the refrigeration unit and is easily visible.

GOOD REPAIR - PLUMBING
There is a constant water drip at the three compartment sink, quat dispenser. Shutting off the water supply to the quat dispenser (so that the drip stops due to no water pressure) is not a repair. Repair is needed so that line does not leak while under pressure due to water in the line, as it was designed to work.
Correction: Repair the plumbing system to conform to the State Uniform Plumbing Code.

SANITIZATION - CHEMICAL
The sanitizer concentration for sanitizer containers used at the front counter tested at ~0 ppm active quat. Sani dispenser at the three compartment sink is not dispensing quat sanitizer at the required concentration.

Manager contacted Eco Lab to repair and then worked with staff to manually mix quaternary sanitizer to use throughout the establishment until the dispenser is repaired.
Correction: Use test strips to measure proper sanitizer concentration and adjust the concentration accordingly. Provide training to employees on proper use and concentration of sanitizer.

FOOD - CONTAMINATION
1) At the start of the inspection, there were two scoops on top of the ice machine in the back room. Employee explained these are backup ice scoops (primary scoop is stored in the ice bin, with handle up - this is ok). However the backup scoops on top of the ice machine are dusty, as is the top of the ice machine. Thus, the ice (used for drinks) is subject to contamination when the backup scoops are put to use. 2) Employee was observed touching the steam nozzle (which is inserted into beverages) with bare hand to push it out of the way after using it to steam liquid/milk, etc.
Correction: Change methods or procedures to protect foods from contamination.
