PIC Performing Duties

Volation 8-303.20 being issued for the non-payment of the 2015 Health Permit. Owner to make payment for the 2015 Health permit including all necessary late fees prior to the re-inspection being conducted.

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.
