Description
Alcoholic beverage control; food-beverage ratio. Provides that a mixed beverage restaurant licensee meets the required food-beverage ratio if its gross receipts from the sale of food and nonalcoholic beverages amount to at least (i) $5,000 per month or (ii) 25 percent of the gross receipts from the sale of mixed beverages and food. The bill also provides that mixed beverage caterer and limited mixed beverage caterer licensees meet the required food-beverage ratio if their gross receipts from the sale of food and nonalcoholic beverages amount to at least 25 percent of their gross receipts from the sale of mixed beverages and food. Under current law, mixed beverage restaurant, mixed beverage caterer, and limited mixed beverage caterer licensees' gross receipts from the sale of food and nonalcoholic beverages must amount to at least 45 percent of their gross receipts from the sale of mixed beverages and food. The bill also requires such licensees to serve food during any period of time mixed beverages are served and allows the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board to summarily suspend a license for a maximum of 24 hours for failure to comply with this provision.
