The Restaurant Association of SA has sent the trade and industry minister wants to know why alcohol cannot be sold to sit-down customers
The Restaurant Association of SA has sent trade and industry minister Ebrahim Patel a lawyer’s letter demanding to know why alcohol cannot be sold to sit-down customers.
The association said it noted with “bewilderment” that the sale of alcohol at restaurants was not addressed in the new regulations. “It is also nonsensical to allow the sale of alcohol as a takeaway but not allow for on-site consumption, as this allows for people to get into a vehicle, purchase a takeaway [food and alcohol] and drive about while consuming both,” the letter reads.
