OAR 845-006-0460
Food Service at Commercial Establishment with Full On-Premises Sales License


(1)

Purpose: The Oregon Liquor Control Act allows licensed commercial establishments with food service to sell distilled spirits by the drink. ORS 471.001 (Definitions for ORS chapters 471 and 473)(2) defines a commercial establishment as a place of business where food is cooked and served, which has adequate kitchen facilities for the preparation and serving of meals, and has dining facilities adequate for the serving and consumption of meals. A commercial establishment must also either serve meals to the general public or, if a for-profit private club, must serve meals to the club’s members and guests and comply with minimum food service requirements established by Commission rule. This rule sets the food service requirements for commercial establishments with a Full On-Premises Sales license. The applicant has the burden of proving it meets the standards and qualifications of this rule and OAR 845-006-0466 (General Food Service Requirements for Full On-Premises Sales Licenses).

Food Service at Required Meal Periods.

(a)

A business open after 5:00 pm must make available to its patrons in all areas where alcohol service is available an offering of at least five different meals during a regular meal period which must last at least three hours. At least three out of the five different meals used to meet the minimum meal requirement must include a main course or entrée (substantial food item) which has been prepared or cooked on the premises in some manner beyond the simple re-heating of a pre-cooked frozen food or carry-out item obtained from a business other than the licensed premises. A business may have fewer than five different meals in the premises or in an area if the Commission determines that the clearly dominant emphasis in the premises or in the area is food service after 5:00 pm.

(b)

A business not open after 5:00 pm must make available to its patrons in all areas where alcohol service is available an offering of at least five different meals during a required meal period which must last at least two hours. At least three out of the five different meals used to meet the minimum meal requirement must include a main course or entrée (substantial food item) which has been prepared or cooked on the premises in some manner beyond the simple re-heating of a pre-cooked frozen food or carry-out item obtained from a business other than the licensed premises. A business may have fewer than five different meals in the premises or in an area if the Commission determines that the clearly dominate emphasis in the premises or in the area is food service before 5:00 pm.

(c)

One method for showing that the clearly dominant emphasis in the premises or in the area is food service is for the Commission to determine that the gross receipts from the sale of meals and substantial food items to patrons for consumption in the premises or in the area exceed or are reasonably expected to exceed the gross receipts from alcohol sales when alcohol service is available.

(3)

Minimum Food Requirement at Times other than Required Meal Periods. At all times other than required meal periods and in all areas where alcohol service is available, businesses must make available to their patrons an offering of at least five different substantial food items.

(4)

Dining Seats during Required Meal Periods: The licensed premises must have at least 30 dining seats during required meal periods. Seats at counters in entertainment areas and at bars as defined in OAR 845-006-0340 (Minor Postings)(2)(i) do not qualify as dining seating. A premises may have less than 30 dining seats if the Commission determines that the clearly dominant emphasis of the premises is food service as described in section (2)(c) of this rule at all times and in all areas where alcohol service is available when open to the public.

(5)
