Final Score @ Grade
91.50 A
General CommentsThe grade card was observed posted in the service window of the mobile food unit (MFU), positioned behind the owner’s ServSafe certificate. The grade card was not clearly visible for public viewing while the service window was open, which was the case upon EHS’s approach to the unit. EHS coached the Owner that the grade card must be posted in a location and manner that ensures it is clearly visible to the public at all times, regardless of whether the service window is open or closed. An Official Notice was issued to the Owner regarding this violation. The Owner reviewed and signed the Official Notice. A signed copy of the Official Notice will be attached to this report.
