Key Findings

  • Extensive mouse droppings observed on floors under shelving, behind coolers, and in utility storage areas. Manager ordered to call exterminator and sanitize all affected areas.
  • Food stored in unlabeled containers without identification of contents.
  • Single-use items like napkins and cups stored directly on floors in hallways, dining areas, and storage spaces instead of being elevated and inverted.
  • Heavy grease buildup on cooking equipment, walls, floors, and shelving throughout kitchen and prep areas requiring degreasing and deep cleaning.
