La Verne Delia Tacos secures off-premise beer permit following new ownership training

The La Vergne Beer Board convened on February 20, 2025, to discuss several applications for beer permits, focusing on compliance with age verification and operational standards.

The meeting began with a discussion regarding the first application, where the applicant confirmed that all three employees would be checking IDs to ensure customers are of legal drinking age. The board emphasized the importance of verifying every ID, particularly for those born after February 2004, to confirm they are 21 or older. The applicant assured the board that all employees had received training and had prior experience in the restaurant industry. Following a brief discussion, the board unanimously approved the application.

Next, the board reviewed an application for an off-premise beer permit for La Verne Delia Tacos, represented by owner Abdul Haakonchali. The board noted a previous violation at the establishment and inquired about measures taken to prevent future infractions. Haakonchali explained that while there had been a change in ownership, he remained one of the previous owners. He assured the board that additional training had been implemented and that a new system for scanning IDs was in place to prevent errors in age verification.

The board's discussions highlighted the importance of compliance and training in the alcohol service industry, particularly in light of past violations. The meeting concluded with the board expressing their commitment to ensuring responsible service and adherence to regulations.
