WHO SHOULD ATTEND 


This workshop is designed  for professionals responsible for reviewing, approving, or monitoring alcohol licenses, including:

• City planning officials
• Law enforcement personnel
• Code enforcement officers
• Planning commissioners


Everyone involved in approving, conditioning, or onboarding new ABC on-sale licensed businesses must deliver a consistent, informed message at every step of the process — this workshop ensures they can.


WHY THIS WORKSHOP IS NEEDED


After analyzing dozens of Conditional Use Permits (CUPs) from cities across California, we identified critical gaps in how cities handle new alcohol license approvals:

  • Existing CUP processes lack essential messaging to applicants
  • Legacy approval conditions miss the most impactful requirements
  • Newly approved businesses receive little to no meaningful onboarding


Simply put: there has been no resource for those involved in approving, conditioning, or onboarding new ABC on-sale licensed businesses to learn best practices — until now.


Hiring Alcohol Best Practices to revise a city's approval and onboarding process through a direct contract is a significant investment. This workshop offers a cost-effective alternative, equipping your team with proven strategies that:

✔ Reduce violence, DUIs and nuisance complaints 

✔ Lower public safety expenses and calls for service 

✔ Improve the profitability, performance, and professionalism of licensed businesses


We look forward to seeing you there.
