There is no comprehensive list of the types of ABC violations. Any violation of the ABC Regulation or ABC Code can result in a violation. There are basically three major types of violations.
The first and most common class of violations involve serving underage persons. Most think that they can be protected from this just by “carding” patrons. But let’s face it, many people who work in restaurants just can’t get it right. And as a business owner, you are responsible for the actions of your staff. There is a way to protect your license ahead of time. Recent changes in the law give the ABC the ability to consider the employer’s previous steps to train his/her staff to assure no underage sales are done. In fact, the ABC agents will even help you with training.
