ATC Details for Restaurants w/ Alcohol Permits Re: Delivery & Take Out

We have been working with ATC Commissioner Lombard to develop solutions for restaurants with on premise alcohol beverage permits in the COVID-19 delivery and take out environment.

There are two items related to your on premise alcohol beverage permit we wish to share:

1. ATC is going to allow restaurants who are currently licensed for on premise alcohol sales to allow pick up orders to include ONLY beer, wine or sparkling wine with a food order without a permit for 30 days. Product in original manufacturer sealed container. (This means no mixed drinks/cocktails or frozen alcoholic beverages like margaritas.
2. ATC has streamlined the process to provide a temporary permit process for restaurants with an alcohol permit to expand and deliver with food wine, sparkling wine and beer for the next 30 days. This does not extend to third party delivery. You must use your own employee and have a method for verifying the purchaser’s ID electronically. CLICK HERE for info about Verify You and how it meets the ATC guidelines for electronic age verification.  

Click HERE for the application. 

Restaurants also need to complete and submit the linked affidavit with each application. Completed applications and affidavits can be emailed to Linda Pham at linda.pham-kokinos@atc.la.gov.  ​

Applications can be emailed to either Linda Pham at linda.pham-kokinos@atc.la.gov or Aliska Anderson at aliska.anderson@atc.la.gov
 
Payment for the applications:

1. To pay via phone contact Aliska Anderson at (225) 925-7683 or aliska.anderson@atc.la.gov to request a call for payment.
2. Provide a copy of the check and postage with the application/affidavit packet email submission. ATC will issue a temporary permit until they receive the actual payment at which time they will issue the permanent permit.

Please don’t confuse these two options. The first allows for no permit for take out/pick up at your premises. To deliver requires a permit, paying the fee and having a method for verifying the purchaser’s ID electronically. 

ATC advises that only daiquiri shops in limited parishes outside of Orleans are permitted to sell frozen alcoholic beverages in closed containers to go. Restaurants are not provided this licensing as their permits are considered on premise. We have communicated with ATC and they advise there will be no expansion of this temporary authority to include mixed drinks or frozen beverages.
