The ambient temperature of the cooler was about 43*F. PIC stated the cooler was opened frequently during the lunch-rush. PIC will continue to monitor the cooler and ensure the ambient temperature returns to 41*F or below and is able to maintain that temperature to cold hold food items at 41*F or below.
