Restaurants can deliver alcohol with new limits
Beginning 60 days after passage, New Hampshire restaurants and bars with on-premises licenses can get a restaurant delivery license. It allows alcohol sales with delivered or takeout meals and costs $250 for one year, with $250 annual renewals. Deliveries must include food the business prepared and the customer ordered. They must occur during business hours, where alcohol sales are legal, and be for personal use, not resale. Delivery workers must be the business’s W-2 employees and at least 21 years old. Workers must check age identification and get a signed receipt; they must refuse delivery if either is missing or the customer appears intoxicated. Alcohol requires sealed packaging; liquor drinks need a tamper-evident container identifying the business. Deliveries are barred at New Hampshire schools, colleges, universities, public libraries, public playgrounds, and public parks.
