Is there a record-keeping requirement related to the smoking designation?
Yes . Stand-alone bars holding an "ss" or "ssf" designation shall maintain records to substantiate reports, affidavits and designation qualifications. Records of all purchases of food, all gross retail sales of alcohol for consumption on the licensed premises, all gross retail sales of alcohol for consumption off the licensed premises, all gross retail sales of food sold for consumption on premises, all gross retail sales of food sold for consumption off the premises, and gross revenue from all other sales shall be separately documented.
All required records must be maintained on the premises, or a designated place approved in writing by the Division of Alcoholic Beverages & Tobacco for a period of 3 years and provided within 14 days of a request by the division. The required records must be legible, clear, and in the English language.
