Although this inspection and corrective steps is a positive sign, the company is continuing to partner with MCHD to take aggressive action. To date, in response to the recent food safety violations, Centerplate has hired additional operations management; more than doubled the internal health safety audit team; created a 24-hour hotline for fans and staff to immediately report any concern or known food service violation; and contracted with Orkin for daily inspections to accelerate efforts to remediate and prevent against pest control issues.
