At Atlanta Hartsfield they used to say Thank you when you put your trash in, whihc made all the kids run around looking for trash so the garbage can would talk to them. I now wonder, what will you program yours to say? :-) On Wednesday, February 25, 2015 at 3:30:09 PM UTC+1, Alex Hillman

Oh yes, Tom’s totally right. We have a specific provision in our insurance for alcohol on site AND offsite. -- The #1 mistake in community building is doing it by yourself. Join the list: http://coworkingweekly.com Listen to the podcast: http://dangerouslyawesome.com/podcast

[Coworking] Legality of having alcohol on site

2015-02-25 Thread Jensen Yancey
Hey Everyone, Quick question for those of you with a little more experience with the law. I know lots of coworking offices will stock the fridge with beer or have a keg on site, but I'm trying to figure out if this is something that's actually legal to do or if it's just a law that isn't

It depends on your local jurisdiction as to whether that is legal or not. Your insurance carrier will no doubt have something to say as well. On Wed, Feb 25, 2015 at 10:24 AM, Jensen Yancey jensen.yan...@gmail.com wrote: Hey Everyone, Quick question for those of you with a little more

Exact laws vary based on where you are but generally (at least in the US and true most other places): 1- you absolutely cannot SELL alcohol without a license 2 - serving alcohol to minors is generally illegal as well There’s obviously edge cases, like when a coworking space is connected to

We went though this at the HIVE. It's more an issue of your local liability rules. Where we live, if you serve someone alcohol, you're partially responsible for their actions afterwards. For example, there was a couple here that went to a restaurant, had a few drinks, went to a bar, had a few

I'm willing to bet that is dependent on state and local ordinances, so probably hard to generalize. Randy On February 25, 2015 at 9:24 AM Jensen Yancey jensen.yan...@gmail.com wrote: Hey Everyone, Quick question for those of you with a little more experience with the law. I know

One of the issues we ran into involves when money is involved. It appears, at least as far as our insurance company is concerned, that providing alcohol to members is covered in our policy. On the other hand, the liquor control board had issues with us having a birthday party, complimentary
