I have the capability, reliability and qualifications to hold a liquor license because:
“I am a hard working business man. I opened my restaurant without a liquor license and have been operating for 5 months. My customers continue to ask me if I would ever get a liquor license as it complements the food I serve. I finally agreed and will be taking both the Basic and Management liquor law training. I am proud to own a restaurant in the City of Phoenix.”
The public convenience requires and the best interest of the community will be substantially served by the issuance of the liquor license because:
“My business has continued to get busier over the summer months this year. It is apparent that the community is in support of my restaurant as well as obtaining a liquor license to complement the food they consume. I am very strict with my policies and will be even more so with the responsibility of holding a liquor license. I believe the license will be an asset to my restaurant and to the community.”
