INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO:
MAYOR GERALD L. FARLEY AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES
FROM:
VILLAGE MANAGER
DATE:
MARCH 12,2004
LIQUOR LICENSE REQUEST-CLASS W (RESTAURANT-
CONSUMPTION OF BEER AND WINE ONLY)
A V ANTI CAFÉ AND SANDWICH BAR,
1900 SOUTH ELMHURST ROAD
SUBJECT:
On Tuesday, February 24, 2004, the Village Manager met with Ms. Kathryn Bruno regarding her
request for a new Class W Liquor License for Avanti Café and Sandwich Bar. The Class W License
provides for the sale of beer and wine at dining tables. Ms. Bruno is the owner and sole shareholder
of the business. Another family member, Mauro Bruno, will be a co-manager of the establishment.
Avanti Café and Sandwich Bar is an Italian fast-food establishment specializing in a variety of deli
sandwiches, pasta dishes, soups and salads. The restaurant has been open at the Elmhurst Road
location since September 2003. Previously, it had operated across Elmhurst Road in Des Plaines.
The restaurant is open six days a week serving lunch and dinner. They also offer catering services.
Neither one of the Brunos has had previous experience with the sale and delivery of alcoholic
beverages. As such, the Village Manager is recommending that both Kathryn and Mauro Bruno
successfully complete a certified liquor servers' training course as a condition of issuing the License.
The Brunos are in agreement with this requirement and have submitted proof of completion of said
course.
The Village Manager also reviewed with Ms. Bruno the Village's particular sensitivity to the sale of
alcohol to minors as well as over service to intoxicated persons. The Village Manager informed the
principals that they are responsible for the actions of all employees and that it was imperative to
establish an appropriate training program as well as management oversight with regard to such
sales. Ms. Bruno indicated she had read the Village Code and understood all of the requirements.
The completed application is on file with qll required fees being paid. The principals have submitted
to fingerprinting and background checks. Appropriate insurance documentation will be forthcoming.
If considered favorably, an Ordinance providing for the creation for an additional Class W License is
in order.
