Beneficial Changes for Palm Beach Business Owners

Whether you own a bar, restaurant or grocery store, getting a liquor license is extremely important. The main reason for this being that the federal and national laws are very strict as far as commercializing alcohol is concerned.  

Taking into consideration the approach of the busy season, bars, restaurants and shop owners should prepare for an increasing demand, especially in terms of alcoholic beverages. This means not only filling their stocks, but also having all the paperwork in accordance with the law. The summer is, undoubtedly, the time of the year when a large number of tourists, especially northern, come to Florida to spend their holidays, and one of the most popular counties is Palm Beach. However, for restaurant owners, the beginning of the season is a double-edged sword: one the one hand they are starting to have more clients, while on the other, they may not be able to fulfill their demands, due to legal concerns. For instance, if a Palm Beach bar or restaurant has international customers; it will be quite confusing for everybody to see that they can get wine and beer, but not whiskey, vodka or other hard alcoholic beverages. But this confusion is something normal for locals, since legislation regarding alcohol commercialization varies not only from one state to another, but also between the counties of the same state.

Although the facilities in the area have reached the highest levels of quality, some clients may still be disturbed by the legal limitations in terms of liquor selling and buying, especially if they come from regions or countries where alcoholic beverages can be obtained without any effort. Clients’ satisfaction is extremely important for those who want to create a strong brand and become known in the industry, which is why not being able to serve people whatever they need represents a considerable drawback. For this reason, as soon as the tourist season approaches, owners strive to get their liquor license.

Although wine and beer authorization may be easier to obtain, those who want the extra mile also apply for licenses of selling distilled spirits. Fortunately, the changes that have been recently made to the legal system of the state of Florida seem to be beneficial for those who are trying to develop their businesses. In spite of the fact that the federal law is still somehow restrictive as far as alcohol consumption and commercialization are concerned (there are certain hours when selling alcohol is prohibited, not to mention that you cannot purchase it from any grocery store), the law that took effect starting July 1^st, 2015 brought a considerable increase in liquor sales.

Apparently, with the season blooming and the laws supporting the alcohol trade, it seems that it is the perfect moment to take advantage and start (or improve) your business in the industry of entertainment. Although alcohol sales have represented an issue years ago, now it has become easier for traders to attract tourists, due to their larger possibility to offer them what they want. The law was aimed to support local businesses: at the moment, bars and breweries are able to store and transport 64 ounce growlers, as compared to 32 or 128 ounce, quantities that made the containers either inefficient or difficult to transport.
