First walk through. Location is closed and owner is making some changes. One of the items is that they would like to do is switch the three compartment sink and the prep sink which is fine as there are existing water connections and floor sinks. The following items were discussed: 1). Please restore the coved base where the front counter was filled in. 2). Make sure to paint any untreated wood in the counter where you filled in. 3) Remove the water filter from under the hand wash sink. Fill in any holes in the wall that are left behind with caulk and finish out smooth. 4). Remove the water filter faucet drain line from the hand wash sink in front. 5). You have a choice, or make sure you do not have any items to wash that do not fit half way into the three compartment sink compartment or increase the size of your three compartment sink. 6). Frying foods without a hood is not allowed as well as cooking crease laden foods. 7). Make sure all equipment you bring in is NSF approved or commercially rated. 8). The sneeze guard on the counter will need to shield the food also from the side, make sure minimum vertical height from Finished Floor is 60 Inches. 9).
