16 Oct TABC and Technology – Get Mobile!
Did you know the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission has a mobile app? Not only do they have a mobile app that was developed and released years ago, it can help you with your business and personal needs! I love showing this app to license/permit holders as well as folks I meet because it has some incredible uses.
Some business uses for this app:
- See pending original applications which are new business coming to your marketing area (the Commission use to data enter these apps within 36 hours, not anymore).
- See licenses/permits that are coming up for renewal or have renewals pending.
- See violation history of a license/permit holder so you know with whom you are doing business.
- Look and see who your competition is within your area and what beverages they sale.
- Find a location to do your city/county inspection.
- File complaints about possible violations of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code.
- Report breaches of peace if you are a license/permit holder.
Personal uses are just as great:
- Find a restaurant near work to grab a drink.
- Find alcohol locations in the new neighborhood you are moving into.
- Check the violation history of the location your daughter/son just “checked in” on Facebook or Instagram, particularly “sale to minor” or “sale to intox”.
- File complaints about possible violations of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code.
I love this app and it was developed in cooperation and agreement between the TABC and Neubus. It was one of the greatest adventures of my TABC career and I use it all the time! It might be good to get familiar as it appears it will be “a cousin” to the new forthcoming “Self Inspections – Compliance Reporting App”!
