Verified Manager understood how to properly check food temperatures on cold and hot holding units 4. Clarified Time control versus Temperature control 5. Demonstrated how to properly make a chlorine sanitizer solution in the 3-compartment sink, how to measure it using the correct chlorine test strips and making one big batch to avoid different solutions in wiping cloth buckets 6. Reviewed with Manager some active managerial control ideas, or methods to implement 7. Establishment currently has a sink near the server fountain soda tower station, and Manager mentioned establishment will be implementing a bar at the far west side of the dinning room near the end of the server station where toast is made.
