A current license is required for postings; ammonia-based spray sanitizer was stored on the wiping cloth bucket edge where a chlorine-based sanitizer was stored. These chemicals shall not be stored next to each other due to the toxic and chemical reaction that could result, creating an ammonia-chloride mixture.

Vessel is no longer easily cleanable; fFood facility still does not have available sanitizer test strips to determine appropriate sanitizer concentration; the final rinse solution temperature in the stationary rack, dual temperature mechanical dish machine was 141 degrees, rather than not less then 180 degrees as required by the manufacturer. Gauge deflected intermittently to 180 degrees, but returned to the 140's at the final rinse. Maintenance scheduled; the hot water used for sanitizing wares in the mechanical ware washing machine did not reach 180 degrees (or 165 degrees for stationary rack) as required after nine cycles; mugs and the holding trays found in the back area were not cleaned, since the previous inspection.
