How do food-primary licenses differ from liquor-primary licenses?

Food-primary focuses on entertainment; liquor-primary focuses on meals
Food-primary focuses on food service; liquor-primary focuses on beverage service
Food-primary does not allow alcohol sales; liquor-primary does
Food-primary is for bars; liquor-primary is for restaurants

The correct answer is: Food-primary focuses on food service; liquor-primary focuses on beverage service

Food-primary licenses are specifically designed to emphasize the sale and service of food alongside the permitted sale of alcohol. Establishments operating under a food-primary license must ensure that they serve food to patrons as a primary part of their business model. This means that food service has a central role in their operations, and alcohol can only be sold when food is also being provided to customers. In contrast, liquor-primary licenses focus predominantly on beverage service, allowing establishments to offer alcohol as the main product. While some food may be available, it is not the centerpiece of the experience. This distinction is crucial because it sets the regulatory framework for how these businesses operate and what they are allowed to promote. Understanding this key difference is important for anyone working in the service industry in British Columbia, as it directly influences compliance with provincial liquor laws and regulations.
