33:29

I'm the only one that allowed to serve alcohol there.

33:31

As they college kid in and out.

33:34

Okay.

33:35

So you don't have any other employees, so if you're not there, then alcohol can't be served.

33:39

That's correct.

33:40

Okay.

33:41

And all your employees are aware of that.

33:43

Yes.

33:49

How did it come to be that uh is it Mr.

33:52

2?

33:53

Yes.

33:54

How did it come to be that Mr.

33:56

2 was serving alcohol without an employee permit?

34:01

He was only supposed to check the ID and notify me, but I got there a little late that day.

34:08

And I don't know if he asked my husband on something that my husband worked in the kitchen.

34:14

I don't know if there's a miscommunication that he thought he was served.

34:20

The server, the one that's actual actually doing the surveying.

34:25

So you you're the one that needs to check the ID.

34:27

Yes, I re-checked the ID after he checked the ID.

34:30

Okay.

34:31

They but there's a requirement to have an employee permit if you're checking and verifying age.

34:39

So they need to have they either, if they're not going to serve the alcohol and have an employee permit, whoever's acting as that server, which would be you, you you're the one that's required to check the ID.

34:51

Okay.

34:52

And in regards to that, the report says that they didn't check at all.

34:57

So he didn't even attempt to check.

35:01

Okay.

35:02

Yeah, I have another question about the employee permit.

35:04

So you say that that your employees now, you're the only one that has a permit and they don't have permits.

35:10

Correct.

35:10

Wouldn't it be just be simpler if they had permits to?

35:15

What's the reason that they don't have them?

35:18

Um I was kind of in between selling my business a little burn out, honestly.

35:27

So I was yeah, I'm happy.

35:31

Yeah, so we we talked about that as well, and she was thinking about after the violation, considering that, but she does have a plan to sell the business in January here.

35:39

So uh at that point that the if the new owners want to um they can they can change that policy, but to finish out the rest of her term with the business.

36:54

How long many violations do you have on this license?

36:56

Uh should typically only be one.

36:59

And how long have you had the license?

37:01

There's there's been a little bit of change in some ownership.

37:04

The the permit's been there um almost 20 years, I would say, but there was a change in ownership um probably four years ago, something like that.

37:15

Twenty years still, it's a good rough yeah.

37:18

37:41

Yes.

37:43

Very straightforward.

37:45

Do you all have you don't have scanners at the cash uh register?

37:50

Um we ask for the ID and we actually scan it, then we touch it, we fill it, we validate it, um, and then we scan it to determine if it's in uh an actual state issue ID.

38:02

Got it, but people can still complete transactions without doing that.

38:06

No, you can't.

38:08

You can't.

38:08

You can't.

38:09

How did he get how did he serve the minor then?

38:11

Uh oh, the gentleman came up and we just simply didn't carve.

38:15

Yeah, that's what I'm asking.

38:16

So you can still like scan alcohol without that part.

38:21

Yeah, yeah, it's not a safe, uh not, I'm sorry, it's not a fail safe proof.

38:25

You know, you still have to have the human inaction.

38:27

You have to ask for the ID.

38:31

Just for my own knowledge, is there is that possible to have a scanner that you have to scan the ID or the transaction cannot unfortunately we don't have that type of technology.

38:41

Right.

38:41

Okay.

38:42

39:24

Indianapolis Burn L L C doing businesses burned by Rocky Patel, address 49 West Maryland Street.

39:30

Suite 30B.

39:37

Morning.

39:38

Good morning.

39:42

Don't change.

39:51

All right, Clark, what do we got?

39:53

Yeah, so Clark Kirkman with Clark Quinn Law on behalf of Indianapolis Burn LLC with me is uh the general manager, Julio Galvan.

40:00

Um in September of last year, they received some a violation.

40:07

The main the there was some signage issues, minimum food.

40:11

The main issue was one of their managers had had her employee permit revoked, and they were that the business was unaware that that had happened.

40:23

And in the incident report, it actually says that she was told by another member of the Indiana State Excise Police two weeks before that it had been revoked.

40:33

She just didn't tell business.

40:35

Um causes someone to have their license revoked.

40:38

OW.

40:41

Yeah.

40:42

So I will say that we actually just were visited by XIS on this past Friday as part of the detail, and um Leo had put together their binder on you know there.

40:59

Um had all the minimum, you know.

41:01

So basically the the issues that they they checked all the issues that had been in this you know year ago violation, minimum food signage, and um I have pictures of the signage if you want to see it, but they received no no violations.

41:15

It sounds like it was a quick visit.

41:18

How so in this case it was the manager that didn't have their employee permit.

41:23

I mean, typically managers are the ones checking the other employees.

41:26

Who checks the manager?

41:28

Uh the general manager, this person was the bar manager at the time.

41:33

She used to be a former bartender, and she made us aware that she wasn't gonna be able to serve alcohol because we were only told that she had two uh OWIs, but actually there was a third one that was pending.

41:51

So we decided based on the information that we had to put this person as a manager that we were wrong because she didn't have the qualifications and the requirements by law to hold that uh position.

42:09

Uh once we receive that violation, we look into moving her uh into the humidor management, but then we were told by excis that because the setup in our establishment, she has to go through the bar, you know, around that, and that couldn't be you know an option.

42:33

So we ended up letting this person go uh a year ago.

42:37

Okay.

42:38

So now everybody has all the correct paperwork?

42:41

Yes, everybody has that.

42:43

Um we've been facing some safety issues in the area, and um we you know we knew that we eventually they were gonna visit again, then we needed to have the food requirements and the signage and another great step that we took uh on is requiring everyone to retake their training uh for alcohol serving, which at the time there was confusion because we thought that that was only one time that you need to take in order to get a liquor license, but then we find out that you have to renew that every three years along with you know your liquor license.

43:23

So everybody was required in the last few months to do that, and it is great because now they are aware that any time that there is a violation, you don't it not only affects the business, but it affects them.

43:38

So when it comes down to any violation on their personal licenses, um there can be up to termination for them because they can lose their license for a while.

43:50

Um we because the nature of our business is smoking, so you uh need to be 21 to smoke, and you need to be 21 to drink.

44:01

We also run security there to a busy night.

44:05

I have up to six guards, so there is two people at the door checking IDs.

44:10

Then we also found out that even if they are checking IDs at the door, they still the servers are required to check IDs again to serve alcohol to anyone that appears to be less than 40.

44:22

Um so anyway, it was just great for us to make everyone aware of all the intrinsics of serving alcohol and certainly uh the smoking in addition to that.

44:35

Um and and just so that you're make sure that you're aware, there was a recent law change that requires the the dorm and that are checking IDs, they also have to have a lot of people.

44:44

Right, and and I do have also all their licenses in here.

44:47

Absolutely.

44:48

We were made aware of that about I would say three, four months, and uh and and all the new guards are required to have their license or the alcohol training along with us.

45:00

Okay.

45:01

And I do have the things.

45:02

Okay.

45:03

On the on the food piece, can you talk through that?

45:06

Because I've been there.

45:07

Sometimes I got food, a lot of times I don't.

45:10

So we don't what is this?

45:11

So technically we don't serve any food, right?

45:14

We allow food to be brought from the outside, but by law we have milk, we have soup, marchan, and uh you have some throw some pizza.

45:23

So it can be served at any time.

45:26

You have over 25 servings at any point of any of those in the past that has been abundant.

45:33

Yeah, so could we because technically you're a restaurant, it's a restaurant permit, you're required to have food required to have that available and serve it if it's asked for.

45:42

Yes.

45:42

So you you've got to have that, not only just have it there, but if someone asks for it, you have to be able to provide that for 25 people.

45:53

And you can have the food trucks all day long in addition, but you have to have that minimum requirement.

45:59

Yes, and um I would have the pictures of yes, there has been some incidents in the bus with the uh amount of food and you know, location was expired.

46:11

Whose responsibility is it now um to make sure that you have enough food in there and that it's not expired?

46:18

It would be me.

46:19

Sure responsibility.

46:22

Okay.

46:22

You there every day?

46:24

Uh no, I'm there five days, and then I have a water manager and a humidor manager.

46:29

And they are aware of all these procedures as well.

46:32

So on the last visit with exercise last week, I wasn't there.

46:36

There was my humidor manager, and he was able to go through all the information with the officers.

46:42

And they didn't have any issues when they were in we had a great visit.

46:46

Good.

46:46

48:01

You're the owner?

48:02

Alright, why are you here?

48:03

Uh we had a violation.

48:05

There was a signage issue.

48:07

Um, one of the signs that um were issued by our distributor um on the gaming had nine days, and it was supposed to be seven.

48:15

Um, and so we got violated, and so I marked it out and fixed it right after.

48:20

Now that's unique.

48:21

Yes, yes.

48:23

Um you had other violations.

48:25

What were those?

48:27

Um I don't recall any other than maybe a the signage issue.

48:34

Yeah, I think employee without permit.

48:36

All your employees have permits.

48:38

Yes.

48:39

Um are you speaking of the recent incident where XIS came in?

48:42

All of our employees' permits were in the folder underneath the television.

48:45

I was on vacation out of the country, and the staff were not able to um reach me.

48:51

But it has always been underneath the TV.

48:53

Would they get the employee acting without the permit for that, or is it does it come down to if they're acting without a permit, that means your permit was either they didn't have one or it was expired or revoked?

49:08

So I'm just seeing.

49:10

So what we have here is employees acting without a permit.

49:14

Um we've got two, so we've got two separate violation reports.

49:19

What was the date on the other one?

49:20

Because the only one that was coming up in the search was the gaming.

49:23

518 24.

49:30

And that's the employee permit anyway.

49:32

Okay.

49:32

And then there's one for um November of 2024.

49:42

For um for the gaming and then for unauthorized sales.

49:50

Let's see.

49:52

Um, I think this had to do with was there were were you sharing alcohol with the TikTok?

49:57

Was there alcohol being drinked?

50:00

There was a there was an invoice um that was sitting at the TikTok lounge from um Bigsies and they just violated us for sharing of the alcohol.

50:11

You you own both locations now, right?

50:13

Now when did you guys take ownership?

50:17

When did you of which location?

50:19

Of this one.

50:20

Of Bigsy's, it would have been November 20th of 2023 was our first operational day.

50:26

And then TikTok was more recent, correct?

50:28

Was May of 24, yes.

50:33

And do you have a co-op agreement set up to share alcohol now?

50:37

Or do you just you understand everything has to stay separate?

50:40

Correct, yeah.

50:41

Okay.

50:42

So all of your employees do have the correct paperwork.

50:45

They do, yes.

50:46

It is in the file underneath the television, and as we do get new hires, I update it um every time.

50:51

But they could not uh reach me as I was out of the country on a cruise.

50:55

Do you have someone there now on staff who knows where that's located in case you're not there?

50:59

I told all of the staff again where it was at, and they said we looked, it's not there.

51:03

I said it's in the middle of the envelope underneath the television.

51:06

Okay.

51:08

Uh we have a violation.

51:58

What was the violation?

52:00

Um license.

52:05

Yeah.

52:06

Um what was going wrong?

52:07

What were you doing wrong?

52:09

Uh okay, so I know um I was very sick and uh um so I I wasn't able to train my people.

52:20

So they didn't know the license was fired.

52:26

Okay, well we have a few more here.

52:28

We have uh a few violations.

52:31

Um of these are management.

52:34

The smoking sign, the non-smoking signs.

52:37

Do you have those up?

52:39

Yes.

52:39

Uh I'm sorry that you were ill.

52:43

But you know, it's a business.

52:45

Um do you know all the violations?

52:50

Yeah.

52:51

Yes.

52:52

They uh yeah, it was it was it was quite a soup.

52:55

Uh and and um I mean and uh went through some of them uh together.

53:00

Now some of it was just like you know, one one thing is broken, you know, it'll trigger a bunch of other stuff.

53:07

So for the most part, she hired a manager that is gonna be handling most of uh that isn't his operational right now.

53:14

How how often are is she there?

53:15

How often are you there?

53:17

Uh she's not been she's not been well, I guess.

53:20

Because she's been sick.

53:21

She's been she's been.

53:23

I mean, we didn't even think she was gonna make it today, but she's gonna wait.

53:26

Um we're hoping yeah, you know, we do Mexico to try to get some treatment out there.

53:32

I'm sure I'm I don't think she minds.

53:34

She's got a ray mean DC's and one of those often drugs, right?

53:39

And uh they cost almost half a million dollars in the US, but it's like ten thousand dollars in Mexico.

53:45

So you're gonna leave you gonna leave someone in as a manager in charge for you?

53:49

Have you completed a manager's questionnaire and submitted that to the commission?

53:54

Uh we haven't done that yet.

53:56

Okay, that needs to be done.

53:57

We're gonna do that, yeah.

53:58

ASAP.

53:59

Right.

53:59

Um, because that will get you in trouble.

54:03

Um and then this manager will be responsible for what you would normally be responsible for.

54:09

Checking expiration dates.

54:11

Yes.

54:12

Um has all the signage been posted now properly?

54:21

Yeah, I correct everything and I have everything good right now.

54:26

I train my people and I have new people, and everybody's trying it.

54:30

Everybody have license.

54:33

Their licenses are current and you have copies of those.

54:37

Yes, their serving certificates are current.

54:41

Yes.

54:42

How are you handling your alcohol purchasing now?

54:45

I'm sorry.

54:46

How are you handling the purchasing of your alcohol now?

54:50

Oh, that's comparandoco.

54:54

Oh, we are not um right now.

55:00

Uh because we um after we um the license was fired, I buy like more than five thousand thousand dollars for alcohol, so I'm still have some.

55:12

So I think right.

55:13

Yeah, so they shut down once they got the shutters.

55:18

So the license was expired, so you couldn't purchase because the wholesalers wouldn't deliver to you.

55:23

So you purchased from you purchased beer from a store?

55:29

No, she's I don't think that's what she means.

55:31

I think it's like she had already had purchased uh enough before.

55:37

So she just shut down after that.

55:39

Uh when when the violation occurred, she just sat down after that and then so she's just reopened her backup once you go to the extension, uh once you go with the extension uh approved.

55:49

And uh so she still has inventory available to sell.

55:53

Okay, and you have those invoices showing where you bought the beer from.

56:02

And then you've got a patio that was not on your floor plan.

56:08

That was another issue.

56:10

Did you add a patio to your to your restaurant?

56:13

No.

56:14

Yeah.

56:14

Was it?

56:15

But we put it there.

56:20

Um but I thought uh yeah, but they they were not they just had it, they had it out there, but they're not selling alcohol out there.

56:34

Well, they're can't have it if it's not a part of their original floor plan.

56:38

That's why it's on the list of violations.

56:41

Uh-huh.

56:42

So they're not going to be able to do that.

56:45

Look at your most current most recent floor plan.

56:48

No, the patio is not part of the the floor plan we can.

56:53

See, when I wanna electron, then they call it.

57:06

Oh no one there's no uh material.

57:14

So that I guess the question is does it have to be included if they're not gonna be selling alcohol out there?

57:19

If you're not serving alcohol out there, then it does not have to be on the floor plan.

57:24

But the you know, the I'm looking to see something like one that's I because the issue was in the violation report is you don't have carry out and and one of the officers was allowed to carry beer out onto that I think onto that patio.

57:49

So um I mean you have two options.

57:53

Either we can get the patio added to the floor plans as long as it meets the requirements, and then you don't have to worry about that.

57:59

People can actually go out there and drink beer.

58:02

Or you're going to have to be very diligent about it and not let anybody out that front door to go out there with beer.

58:10

I think it's yeah, I think it's the uh I think uh just because of uh and it's it's a training issue.

58:15

Okay.

58:16

So whoever's in there right now knows nobody leaves out the building without within any alcohol.

58:21

I think it's there's so much traffic out there, you you have to be required almost to put a barrier to to prevent the public, then the the sidewalk just becomes impossible then.

58:33

Yeah, I'm sure I I vaguely remember.

58:35

You kind of vaguely remember that it's so expensive.

58:39

Yeah, it's what's to do with the patio.

58:41

So yeah, we so they have like you know a chair outside, people who sit down out and do whatever, but uh as far as it being uh you know safe to sell alcohol is another easy altogether.

58:52

Because like I say, yeah, they have to have put um barriers out there which which won't interfere with uh you know public truck.

59:01

Sure.

59:01

So what was the thought process behind adding the patio to begin with?

59:05

Because it sounds like a headache, honestly.

59:09

So what was the thought process when you first put it there?

59:14

I mean I I could speak to that because I was there.

59:16

Um it's just the whole atmosphere.

59:18

It's it's up here in front of Farn Square.

59:20

So the whole atmosphere was that it was just facing people outside, right?

59:25

So people want to eat their the stuff outside, so just a few chairs outside and some of the other uh businesses around the way have the same kind of uh atmosphere, now whether they sell alcohol or not is another easy, but uh you know, you just the atmosphere outside was the same way.

59:43

Yeah, and we're not talking about a large patio, it's just a couple of tables and chairs.

59:47

Got it.

59:47

Is it tables also?

59:48

I mean, you think about a store, a guy just brought out a chair and sat out.

59:52

Two guys.

59:52

I mean that's basically that's what it is.

59:54

And it wasn't, you know, and that's like I said, I told them that's just no way that we are gonna be able to block the street to be able to make it, you know, presentable to be able to sell alcohol.

1:00:09

See most of those button or looking at yes, and that's exactly what we're talking about.

1:00:17

So yeah, so we have a few, you know, just make it look a little bit more you know, inviting.

1:00:22

Sure.

1:00:22

Uh but really it's more cosmetic, and I don't think it's going to fit the criteria for an area for sounding alcohol.

1:00:30

Okay.

1:00:30

So I don't think this should be that should have been the vote.

1:00:34

Um most important thing right now, before you leave for your treatment, make sure that that manager's questionnaire gets completed because it has to be signed by you.

1:00:42

Right.

1:00:43

So whoever you identify as your manager that's going to run the location while you're gone, that needs to be submitted.

1:00:48

Okay.

1:00:50

All right.

1:00:51

That'll accept the motion.

1:00:52

Motion to approve.

We got uh to my far left representing the city of Lawrence is Mr. Jim Hinnegan. Um to my immediate left representing the town of Speedway is Mr. Robert Staden. To my immediate right is Mr. Peter Luster, representing the city of Indianapolis, and serving as secretary of this board to my far right is Excise Officer Amy Sunier.

At this time, please silence your cell phone so do not interrupt the hearing. If you find it necessary to take a call or have a conversation with someone here with you, please step out into the hallway. Here is the order in which we will conduct business this morning. We will first ask individuals who have come to remonstrate to stand and come forward to the microphones hanging from the ceiling. Give us the name and the name and address, your name and the name and address of the business you're here to remonstrate against. We will then hear cases on today's docket pertaining to the town of Speedway, City of Beach Grove, and the City of Lawrence. Next, we will call all applicants for renewal or transfer applications on today's docket. We will then call renewals on today's docket, which have violations or remonstrators. After we finish today's published docket, we will consider cases that have been continued from a previous hearing. All of those coming before the board today, whether you're an applicant representing the applicant, or are here to remonstrate, will testify under oath. Officer Sunier will now administer the oath. If you're going to testify before the board this morning, please raise your right hand. Do each of you solemnly swear from under the penalties for perjury that the answers that you've given on your application or any answer you might get any questions asked by this board to be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Thank you. Okay. If an applicant should have remonstrators, it has been the practice of this board to accept one request for continuance from both the applicant and the remonstrators. Should the board deem it appropriate, additional continuances may be granted. Are there any remonstrators in the hearing room? There are. And I just I apologize. I didn't get your email until this morning. You're out working on Saturday. Yes, so they um they're still pending a revocation hearing, and their violation is still pending. So they'll be continued to January Fed. For time to charm. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Stopp. Applicants appearing in Marion County are required to have four items before the board can hear your case.
