9 1. Relax or eliminate current requirement that full-service restaurants maintain at least 60% of gross revenues from food sales.
2. Amend definition of “full-service restaurant” to allow partnerships where one entity owns the alcohol sales component of an establishment and another owns the food sales component to qualify.
3. Allow freestanding kitchens (e.g., Arthur Mac’s shipping container kitchen) built on same premises as an alcoholic sales establishment, but operated by a separate food service provider, to qualify establishment as a full- service restaurant.
4. Change hours when discount pricing for alcohol is allowed to start earlier in afternoon.
Ideas for Possible Regulatory Changes
Hayward Police Department Year-End Report
10 Staff’s Recommendations
60:40 requirement is too strict; change to 50:50 to be consistent with ABC’s historic definition of “bona fide eating place”
Amend “full-service restaurant” definition to allow partnerships w/ separate alcohol and food service providers in same premises to qualify, but only establishments licensed as a "bona fide eating place" (could attract uses such as microbreweries to the City)
Allow alcohol serving establishments that have freestanding kitchens operated by separate food service providers to qualify as full-service restaurants, but only those licensed as a "bona fide eating place" Change allowable happy hour start time from 4:00pm to 2:00pm, but also change end time from 9:00pm to 7:00pm
Hayward Police Department Year-End Report
11 Questions for CEDC
1. Should required 60:40 ratio of food sales to alcohol sales be relaxed?
2. Should “full-service restaurant” definition be revised to allow partnerships between alcohol service providers and food service providers in a single establishment to qualify?
3. Should City allow alcohol serving establishments that have freestanding kitchens (like Arthur Mac’s shipping container kitchen) operated by separate food service providers to qualify as full-service restaurants?
4. Should the City extend hours when full-service restaurants are allowed to offer discount pricing for alcohol to start earlier in the afternoon?
5. Any other changes desired?
