General Comments

PIC explains front service area no longer in use as of August 2023. Serving line and hot holding at the front are never utilized. Food is prepped, cooked, cooled, and reheated as necessary in the back of house kitchen, then immediately brought out for service. PIC inquires about risk category change- however, proteins are still cooked from raw (chicken, hamburgers), cooled, and reheated, despite the lack of dining area hot holding utilization.
