Violations Cited
M-2-103.11
PIC Performing Duties
Management is not actively monitoring the operation of the kitchen equipment. Provide proper oversight.
Why This Matters
EXTREME RISK: Without active management, ALL five CDC risk factors go unchecked. Studies show restaurants without certified managers have 2.5 times more critical violations. Lack of supervision leads to: temperature abuse (bacteria double every 20 minutes), cross-contamination spreading pathogens, sick employees working with food, improper cooking allowing pathogen survival. This single violation enables conditions for major outbreaks.
Code Requirements
PIC MUST: Be present during ALL operating hours; Hold valid food safety certification; Actively monitor employee health and hygiene; Ensure proper cooking, cooling, and holding temperatures; Verify foods from approved sources; Monitor handwashing compliance; Ensure equipment properly sanitized; Take immediate corrective actions for violations; Demonstrate knowledge to health inspector; Train and supervise all food employees.
Corrective Actions
IMMEDIATE: Designate qualified PIC immediately; If no certified manager available, cease operations; Implement active managerial control system; Create monitoring logs for all CDC risk factors; Retrain management on responsibilities; Post PIC duties checklist

Non-Food Contact Surfaces
The dessert upright salad undercounter and produce walk in refrigerators were operating between 45 and 50 degrees F. Several of the coils were encased by ice. Remove all potentially hazardous foods from units until units can be repaired. The units must all be operating at 41 degrees or below. The bar beverage refrigerator has 0.5 inches of stagnant standing water on the bottom. Repair the unit so that it drains properly. During the inspection on 7-15-08 no condensate was observed within the bar refrigeration unit. However the salad unit within the main kitchen and the produce unit within the preparation area were not operating properly. The two units must be repaired so that they maintain an internal temperature of 41 degrees or below. The walk-in and other refrigeration systems had been repaired and inspected by a service contractor. Final repairs to the salad unit within the main kitchen had not been completed. BISD will return to reinspect.
