OAR 845-006-0464: Food Service Requirements for Other Public Locations with a Full On-Premises Sales License

(1) ORS 471.175 allows the Commission to grant a Full On-Premises Sales license to public locations that are other than commercial establishments, private clubs, or public passenger carriers. This rule sets the food service requirements for other public locations. (2) Other Public Locations are businesses open to the public where meals are offered, but where the predominant activity of the business is other than the preparation or serving of meals or the consumption of alcohol. Examples of such businesses are an auditorium; a music, dance, or performing arts facility; a banquet or special events facility; a lodging facility; a fairground; a sports stadium; an art gallery; or a convention, exhibition, or community center. (3) Food Service: At all times and in all areas where alcohol service is available, the licensee must make available to patrons at least five different meals. (4) Notwithstanding the requirement in subsection (3), a licensee may make fewer than five different meals available if the Commission determines that the clearly dominant emphasis in the areas with alcohol service is food service. One method for showing that the clearly dominant emphasis in the area is food service is for the Commission to determine that the gross receipts from the sale of meals to patrons for consumption in the area exceed or are reasonably expected to exceed the gross receipts from alcohol sales when alcohol service is available. (5) Violation of any section of this rule is a Category III violation.
