General Comments

Label the in line water filter with the change date & change at frequency recommended by filter manufacturer. Employee was unclear on source for shredded chicken in 1 door cooler, other than it was rotisserie chicken. Rotisserie chicken unless cooked on-site must be obtained from an approved commercial source that is permitted to sell to restaurants. Local grocery stores hold food establishment permits, but are not permitted to sell their cooked product to another retail establishment for re-use/sale. Under NCGS 130A-248(a6) food stands may allow up to 8 seats regardless of septic system status. Exceeding 8 seats requires a septic system evaluation & possible expansion. Any tables under the patio that exceed 8 seats must be designated or labeled to indicate they are not for seating while eating/drinking. Discussed with PIC labeling the food service seating as "snack shop seating."
