To Connect And Inform You

---

We will connect  on premise liquor license holders in your area  as well as the state . our purpose  is to unite everyone and keep a check on new statewide regulations  as well as violations . Business owners like us need to be informed about all aspects that effects our bottom line or the security of our small business . Our newsletter will cover all counties in NY state . 

we would like to address the fact that ninety five percent of all brand name liquor is only available from two wholesalers .in our state .  Both Of these wholesalers charge a delivery  of three dollars . Both of them also have a minimum order requirement of twelve hundred and fifty dollars  or charge  another thirty five dollar penalty . . The cost per bottle of their exclusive brands  can be as much as seventy percent higher than a large liquor store . Almost  fifty percent of the time adelivery is either incomplete or something is broken . The drivers and helpers won’t take a delivery up or down one step or more than ten feet inside a building . Customer service is non existent as there is no other choice for us to purchase the brands and they are well aware of it . The SLA penalty for us to purchase a bottle from a liquor store is $10,000.

Why do we only have 30 day credit terms with the Liquor wholesalers when we already signed a personal guarantee on behalf of our business . Why did the beer credit terms change from 30 to 15 days in the past few years . Why do the NYSLA enforce the credit terms between us and the customers we do business with . It seems strange that for the past thirty years we pay more for liquor and beer than our customers and yet unlike our customers cannot use a credit card .

The handbook needs to be revised from start to finish as it allows the NYSLA or anyone acting on their behalf to perform a full license inspection during any hours that the business is open .

The people performing such an inspection are going to find at least ten violations in any business , but may choose to ignore them , which leads to selective enforcement .

Each violation including using a power strip for a credit card machine is grounds for suspension , cancellation of the on premise license or a fine of up to ten thousand dollars .

Why  do NYSLA want books and records to be kept at the location . Why is it mandatory to keep every door unlocked during an inspection . What other types of businesses require such scrutiny .  

The rules are written in such a way that all operators are guilty of at least ten and if not then refer to “ Non Bonafide Fide “ which basically covers everything else .f
