ABC Manager Endorsement

Overview 

On-Premises Retailers, Off-Premises Retailers, and Manufacturers with an On-Site Sales and Consumption endorsement must have the license holder or an ABC Manager on-duty and physically on-site to legally sell and serve alcohol. ABC Manager licenses are issued to and maintained by the person named on the license and are not controlled by any venue, even if paid for by them. 

Licensed establishments with an ABC Manager Endorsement can add or replace individuals as ABC Managers as needed. Establishments with this endorsement are permitted to register up to five (5) employees as ABC Managers.    

Eligibility 

Applicants must be at least 21 years of age. 

To Apply 

Applicants must submit an ABC Manager Endorsement Application with all required documents and payment. Required documentation, fees, and submission options are specified on the application.   

Valid Years and Fees 

The fee to register for up to five (5) ABC Managers is $390. Each additional manager costs $130 per manager. Fees are assessed annually.

Endorsements are valid while the license is active. See Fee and Renewal Schedule for details.  

Of Note 

ABC Managers working under the licensee's endorsement must renew their ABC Manager credentials at the same time that the licensee renews their main ABCA license.
