I'm requiring that they use this software as a backup saying it's okay versus them coming to the store to pre -register. Taniguchi: Do these people have to be licensed? Express Waiters? Takase: They're technically working under Kadota's license because they're not selling it themselves and that's one of the issues we had to make clear to them. They will just charge a flat fee for delivery. They cannot mark it up based on price, which is what think they're doing on the food side. Taniguchi: They're doing it exactly like what they're doing for food? You order from Kadota and they will pick it up from Kadota and deliver. Takase: I think on the food side though, they have different prices based on how much you order (they can charge different prices). Taniguchi: If you go to KTA and they want to deliver for them, do they have to come to us again? Takase: Yes. KTA would come to us and say, "Could we have these guys deliver for us?" Assuming this one goes fine, we'd probably approve that as well. Arakaki: I have a question about that software. It reads the license? Takase: It reads the barcode that's on the back of it. We're getting if for all of our investigators, but we had it six months now. We've been testing it and it's very accurate. It'll read the back and that's usually where, if there's a fake ID, it'll match up whether it was issued by the proper authorities, etc. Fake IDs are very good now. By us just looking at it, we probably couldn't tell all the differences of which is real or not. Taniguchi: It would tell you if it's a fake one and what it's supposed to look like, right? Takase: It's being used now by many agencies. They've got all of the States and Canadian provinces and some others. The Department of Defense is also using this scanner to check their IDs. We're satisfied with the product so far. Greenwell: Gerald, you said you're getting requests from mainland companies about this delivery. What would happen if CVS came to you and said we want to deliver beer to a luau for instance? Would that have to be a separate program that they'd have to start because they were a distributor and there's no middleman? Takase: Right now, it's all the retailers that are actually delivering. They just need to let us know and get approved for delivery service and they can do it as well. Right now, it's been the high-end ones so the last one I saw was Kealakekua Ranch Market. Nahale-a: The Mexican one downtown. FEBRUARY 1, 2018 -LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES 28
