Physical facilities not cleaned at required frequency (corrected on site)

Inspector notes: Observed floor drain located below the main prep table in the kitchen to have an accumulation of food debris in the grate used to catch food debris, which is preventing the water to properly drain, causing water to pool around the food prep area. The food debris was removed, and the water was observed to properly drain. Physical facility must be cleaned frequently enough to prevent accumulation of dirt, organic mater, and food debris caught in the drain to prevent large pooling of water
