I have the capability, reliability and qualifications to hold a liquor license because:
“My wife and I have owned and operated two restaurants over the past 2 years. I was an executive chef at two City of Phoenix liquor license locations and one Scottsdale location. I created the restaurant menus for all three locations. My wife and I as well as employees will attend AZ liquor law training to identify obvious intoxication, underage and be familiar with all state and City laws. Our restaurants are family oriented specifically to enjoy our homemade authentic Mexican food. We are excited to have businesses 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:
“This location has been open to the public since June of 2021. We have continued to serve our customers even during the pandemic. We often cater to businesses at our location but understand that the liquor license is public and must remain open to other guests. Many of our clientel have inquired about our business serving alcohol beverages. After one year of operation at this location we decided to apply for a restaurant liquor license to compliment the service of food. We do not have a bar and will remain a restaurant.”
