The OLCC imposed a $2,145 fine, or the restaurant can have its alcohol license suspended for 13 days, according to the stipulated agreement. The owners must also install age-verification equipment that allows a customer’s ID to be swiped to calculate age. 

The owner of the company could not be reached for comment. 

The incident occurred on Nov. 2.  The owner of the company will have until July 1 to install an age-verification system and it will be used to verify the age of every patron who appears to look younger than 26 , according to the agreement. 

“All alcohol sales will be run through registers at which age-verification equipment is installed,” according to the OLCC agreement. 

If the equipment isn’t installed by July 1, fines increase to $4,645, or a 23-day alcohol license suspension will be imposed, according to the agreement.
