Delivering liquor with take-away and delivery meals: revised timeline for Serving It Right requirements

 

Effective March 21, liquor primaries and food primaries operating in compliance with the provincial health order are allowed to sell alcohol with take-away and delivery meals. 

The person delivering must have Serving it Right and must ensure the customer is of legal drinking age. As with all liquor sales, it is ultimately the licensees' responsibility to ensure compliance.

The Attorney General announced these changes officially on March 22, and encouraged operators to hire their out of work servers to deliver liquor products as part of their food-delivery service. You may also use a third-party to deliver (e.g. Foodora, Uber Eats, Door Dash, etc). 

Revised timeline: All delivery persons delivering liquor with a meal from an establishment have until April 20, 2020 to get their valid Serving It Right certification. This includes both employee delivery persons and third-party delivery persons.
