Whether
you run a restaurant, bar or club, having a liquor license can mean the
difference between success and failure. An alcohol permit can be difficult to
secure, especially in areas where the number of licenses is limited or if you
are just starting out as a company.
Type and Class
There are
different types and classes of alcohol permits and the Texas Alcoholic Beverage
Commission website can help you choose which one you need. Before you apply for
your tabc permit, it is a
good idea to ask yourself a couple of questions about your establishment and
what you want to serve. For instance, if you are selling liquor to be consumed
on your premises then you will need a different type of license than if you are
selling alcohol to be consumed in the customer’s home.
Running
a restaurant can have a different type or class of license than
running a bar. For instance, some states require that restaurants have a food
order in before an alcoholic beverage can be ordered and some bars will require
only a beer license.
Applications and Costs
One of the
easiest ways to get through the applications and costs part of
getting an alcohol permit is to find a company dedicated to helping you through
this process. This can allow you to pay one cost for all the permits and
licenses that you need to get as well as having someone with experience guide
you through the whole process. Part of the costs that you should consider is
that sometimes you will be required to purchase a license from an existing bar
or restaurant due to permit limits in your state or local area. This can raise
the costs to cover lawyer fees and much more.
The first step to getting your liquor license is knowing
what type and class of license you need. You can do this by writing down the
specifics of your business and how it relates to the sale and consumption of
alcohol. You can then start the applications and judge the costs for the
permits.
