Yesterday, Co-Founder Andreas Koutsoudakis spoke at the New York City Bar’s CLE Program on “Restaurant Law in New York City: 2023 Edition.”

This program focused on the corporate, real estate, liquor license, and labor/employment issues involved in opening and operating a restaurant in New York City. Attendees learned about:

1. the choices of legal entity to form for restaurant projects, investment and management structures, purchase and sales transactions and transfer liability;
2. lease issues such as build outs and provisions regarding assignment, contingencies, and guarantees;
3. the requirements for obtaining on and off premises liquor licenses and how to navigate the process and procedure before the New York State Liquor Authority and the local Community Boards; and
4. overtime, sex harassment policies, spread of hours, the 80/20 rule, tip credit, and other essential labor and employment issues.

Andreas kicked off the program by educating attendees on the corporate considerations at hand, focusing on issues such as:

1. LLC v. corporation – entity choices for restaurants;
2. Corporate structures for startup restaurants and restaurant groups;
3. Investment in restaurant businesses – typical investment terms; and
4. Acquiring a restaurant business – factors to consider for a purchase of assets or equity of an existing business.
