Record Keeping ABC Violation Part 1


Are you familiar with the VA ABC Authority's record-keeping requirement?
All records shall be kept on the premises for 2 years.

Proof of monthly sales is one of the most important elements of record keeping. Your POS, cash register, or other sales reporting system you are using should categorize your sales in the following categories:

  • Entrees
  • Other Food
  • Nonalcoholic Beverages
  • Wine and Beer
  • Mixed Beverages
  • To Go
  • Total


We recommend that you confirm daily, weekly, and monthly that your record-keeping system is accurately capturing sales in the correct sales category. Having a proper record-keeping system in place is very important.
