So many violations….

This is the sole 200 amp single phase panel for a restaurant. It has a 200 amp main outside at the meter. Yes, that is #4 feeding it, love the egc landed with the neutral, at least they bonded the panel with the green screw! Tenant wanted to add more grills and ovens, and a fryer. Told him only if they are gas. He is already running about 10 refrigerators and freezers. Ice machine and a large mini split off it. The previous tenant was a bakery, and had installed the loadcenter. Since he doesn’t own the building, he doesn’t want to pay to fix it.

I'm surprised there isn't a lot of Romex... Most remodel restaurants I ever worked on had a panel and suspended CEILING full of romex

This is an open bar joist ceiling, mostly straight runs of emt, and where they turned, factory 90’s. Did find one run with romex pulled in it. New led high bays, looked like it had been done in the past couple of years. Apparently not much in inspections, especially fire inspections. The play house up the road was all done in romex, (easily exceeded 100 capacity), no emergency lighting in either place. At the moment, they were not cooking, and it was 25 amps per leg.
