Observations & Corrective Actions

14: Observed dishes being cleaned and the first temperature test on the machine registered 137°f, ran the machine again with pic’s thermometer too and had the same reading. Ran the machine through one more time without dishes and it registered at 141°f. COS Made pic aware of the issue and they immediately called their tech, discussed with pic that they can use the machine to wash/rinse but must use 3comp to sanitize until the dish machine is serviced and temps 160°f or higher.

23: Observed steak options offered that are not on the menu and offered under cooked. Pic stated that they do offer it undercooked COS discussed proper labeling of items and consumer advisory, discussed that either menus should be revised adding steak to the menu, or get table tents or other form of advertising the steak with the advisory, or stop offering the steak undercooked. Pic stated they will stop offering it under cooked until they can confirm the permanent action with their supervisor.
