The moment
Everyone who sells into a bar usually hears about a new room when it's already somebody else's account. A new liquor license is the window when the well list, the draught lines, the POS, the insurance and the ice route all get picked at the same time.
The Tower tracks new licenses by their original issue date, so a renewal never passes for a new room. It adds the alcohol receipts each venue reports every month, and every other venue the same operator runs.
Who it's for
- Beer, wine and spirits distributors and their route reps
- Breweries, distilleries and wineries chasing new taps and shelves
- Bar POS and pour-cost software
- Draught line, glassware, ice and back-bar equipment suppliers
- Liquor liability and property insurance agents
- Bar security and entertainment services
- Payments, ATM and cash-handling vendors
What you get
- Places newly licensed to sell a drink, by license class
- Monthly alcohol receipts as reported, where the venue files them
- The other venues run by the same operator
- Changes of hands marked apart from brand-new rooms
- Applications still in review, on a list of their own
The outcome
Your route rep walks in knowing whether the operator runs three other rooms and what those rooms report. Your brewery pitch lands while the tap list is still being written.
Questions buyers ask
- Where do the receipts come from?
- From the monthly returns venues file with the state. Only venues that sell mixed drinks file them, so a beer-and-wine shop shows no figure, and we never estimate one.
- How do you tell a new room from a change of hands?
- If the address was already filing returns before the new license, it's marked as a change of hands: a new operator in a room that was already pouring. Both are worth a call, for different reasons.
- Do you include pending applications?
- Yes, on their own list. An application isn't a license, so it never mixes with the licensed rooms.
