The Impact of the Pandemic on Restaurants

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on the restaurant industry. With lockdowns and restrictions in place, many businesses faced significant declines in revenue and footfall. As a result, the industry experienced mass closures and layoffs, leaving the survival of numerous establishments uncertain.

The PLCB's Fast Process for Outdoor Alcohol Service

Recognizing the struggles faced by restaurants and the vital role they play in the state's economy, the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board implemented a fast process for outdoor alcohol service. This initiative aims to provide a lifeline for businesses by allowing them to serve alcohol in designated outdoor areas, where regulations and guidelines can be followed to ensure the safety of patrons.

Benefits for Restaurants

The fast process for outdoor alcohol service offers several benefits for restaurants, including:

  • Increased Revenue Opportunities: By expanding their service to outdoor spaces, restaurants can accommodate more customers, leading to an increase in revenue.
  • Enhanced Customer Experience: Serving alcohol outdoors provides a unique and pleasant dining experience for customers, encouraging them to visit and support local businesses.
  • Flexibility in Operations: Restaurants can adapt their operations to meet the changing demands and regulations, allowing them to navigate through uncertainties more effectively.
  • Staying Competitive: By offering outdoor alcohol service, restaurants can differentiate themselves from competitors and attract new customers.

Process Overview

The process for obtaining approval for outdoor alcohol service with the PLCB is streamlined and efficient. Here's an overview of the steps involved:

  1. Review Guidelines: Restaurants should review the guidelines provided by the PLCB to ensure compliance with all necessary regulations and requirements.
  2. Submit Application: Submit an application to the PLCB, including details such as the outdoor space layout, seating arrangements, and safety measures.
  3. Inspection: The PLCB conducts inspections to verify compliance and ensure the safety of patrons.
  4. Approval and Licensing: Once the inspections are successfully completed, the restaurant receives the necessary approval and licensing to serve alcohol outdoors.

Supporting the Recovery Efforts

The fast process for outdoor alcohol service is a testament to the PLCB's commitment to supporting the recovery efforts of the restaurant industry. By providing a streamlined and efficient approach, the PLCB aims to help businesses overcome challenges and regain their economic stability.
