I have the capability, reliability and qualifications to hold a liquor license because:
“I have taken the Title 4 management liquor law training course from Arizona Business Counsil for Alcohol Education and have a certificate of completion. In additon to this, I have over 15 years experience in the Phoenix Restaurant scene where I have gained hands on knowledge of the "Do's" and "Don'ts" of running a business not only in compliance of laws and regulations but also to help promote a healthy and safe working environment to staff.”
The public convenience requires and the best interest of the community will be substantially served by the issuance of the liquor license because:
