I'm Sexy 0 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Now I am plan trip to New Zealand for next summer months. It is fun to find out information about it. When I was looking I found some information about restaurant. I noticed some restaurant says "licensed restaurant". What does that mean? Do not all restaurant need license for operation? Thank you!

js 0 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Licensed means they are permitted to serve alcohol to customers. (Usually, customers are not permitted to take their own in) Unlicensed restaurants mean they are NOT allowed to sell alcohol, but customers can take alcohol into the place. Unlicensed places usually have cheaper priced food because they don't need to pay for an expensive liquor license. Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Over here, unlicensed places are usually those still waiting for their liquor license. Your liquor license is the license to make money. Link to post Share on other sites

Davo 1 Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 purenz.com has good info in many languages, including Japanese. It's run by the NZ government tourism promotion department. Unlicensed restaurants will usually charge a small fee for opening your bottles of wine, but they're good value anyway. We used to go with dozens of beers, spirits etc in my misspent youth. Have a cheap meal and get hammered for the same price as sitting at home. Good times Are you going to miss the season this year I'm Sexy? Link to post Share on other sites
