I should have started chronicling this from the beginning. Time line to date.
- Feb & March, decide we should get a liquor license, including surveying customers.
- March get Serving it Rite certification, if you own more then 10% of a restaurant you need one.
- April fill in all the paperwork, send it in.
- Late April find out because the lease isn't in the company name we can't "prove" that is our location.
- May 1, phone lawyers in Kelowna to figure out how to change the lease
- May 2nd deliver paperwork to the lawyer to begin work, estimated to take 3-5 hours of billable time
- May 27th wondering if we should have used a different lawyer.
- May 27th Lawyer finished, waiting for landlord to sign new lease papers
- June 12th Landlord signed new lease after extorting $700 for doing so
- June 16th Cheque cashed
- June 19th Lease faxed to person who will look at it.
With any luck we will have the license just in time for the fall rush, oh wait there is no fall rush.
