A 3687 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Allows certain restaurants with retail licenses to deliver alcoholic beverages and food in preloaded delivery vehicles.

This bill permits restaurants with plenary retail consumption licenses (those operating open-to-public restaurants that serve food at tables) to deliver alcohol along with food orders using preloaded delivery vehicles. It requires restaurants to employ delivery staff as W-2 employees who must verify customers are 21 or older, and mandates that alcohol must be delivered only with food orders (no standalone alcohol delivery). The bill requires alcohol to be charged to consumers' cards at purchase time (not at delivery), with receipts displaying the restaurant name, and specifies that unused alcohol must be returned to the premises. Delivery vehicles must be owned or leased by the restaurant and display required signage. This policy change applies only to restaurants meeting the specified criteria.
