Summary

The group discusses whether to sell alcohol in a pizzeria, noting the low margins and headaches of alcohol delivery, the risk of legal responsibility if minors get alcohol, and competition from supermarkets with cheap beer. They talk about creating a 50-50 pizzeria/bar setup, managing the exterior to not look like a bar, and keeping a balance so families feel comfortable. They consider the local market and the importance of the storefront.

  • They want the shop to not appear as a bar from outside.
