Do you need a Liquor
License to cater alcohol?
YES! The State of California, Department of Alcoholic
Beverage Control, (ABC) requires a company that caters
liquor to own a “Type 47” Liquor License as well as a
“Type 58” Caterers’ Permit, which we own!
Do most caterers own a Liquor License?
NO! Because very few caterers own the appropriate
“legal” liquor license, we can provide bar catering
services to other caterers and event planners. In fact,
many of our clients are caterers and event planners.
Why should I hire a professional Beverage and
Bar Caterer?
The laws governing the catering of liquor have become
stricter, and it just makes practical sense to use a
professional, ABC- licensed and insured bartending
service. If your Caterer does not have a “Type 58”
Caterer’s Permit and General Liability Insurance, as
well as a Liquor Liability Insurance policy, you are
putting yourself at risk – why take the chance? In
addition, our prices are more reasonable than most of
the other Beverage Catering services in the market
place.
I need a “licensed bartender.” Can I get these
from you?
Actually, there is no such thing as a “licensed
bartender.” Bartenders can be “professionally” certified
(which all of ours are). COMPANIES are licensed, NOT
bartenders. YES, we supply professionally certified
bartenders to our clients for each of our events. Also,
our bartenders are covered by Workers’ Compensation
Insurance which protects our client and their guests, in
case of injury.
What is General Liability Insurance?
This type of policy covers losses resulting from
non-liquor related activities; for example, damage to
personal property. NOTE: General Liability Insurance
does not cover losses related to alcohol.
What is Liquor Liability Insurance?
This type of policy covers losses resulting from
liquor-related activities; for example, if a guest at
the event has too much to drink and causes an accident
and/or injury. We feel it is our responsibility to
provide $ 5,000,000 in Liquor Liability Insurance for
our clients and their guests.
At San Diego
Cocktail Catering, we carry BOTH types of insurance!
Please give us a call if you have any questions about
