I have the capability, reliability and qualifications to hold a liquor license because:
“I personally have 10 years experience working in and operating food and beverage businesses. My business partner has another 20 years of experience in restaurants and bars as well. Together we've see it all, and can comfortably say we have the skills to operate a safe & smart restaurant. We've both worked in all types of venues: from fancy cocktail bars & high end restaurants, to casual restaurants and neighborhood dives. We've both taken safe serve liquor classes multiple times, and maintained a clean record always.”
The public convenience requires and the best interest of the community will be substantially served by the issuance of the liquor license because:
“Our restaurant plans to serve coffee, pastries, and quick-to-serve-chef prepared food during the day in a beautiful, comfortable space, following a chef-driven full service restaurant in the evening. We strive to be a cornerstone for the neighborhood and help elevate food, beverage, and community-based culture, all times of day. We plan for the cafe area during the day to act as an extension of the community's living room or work-office.”
