The problem

Liquor licensing is a maze

50 different systems

Every state has its own ABC authority, fee schedules, license categories, and terminology. No two are the same.

Scattered information

Fee schedules buried in PDFs, HTML tables, and government portals. Hours of research just to compare two states.

Wrong license = shutdown

Apply for the wrong type and face fines up to $10K+, months of delay, or forced closure. The stakes are real.
