Winnetka Businesses Hope for Looser Regulations

Some Winnetka businesses owners want change and they were bolstered by a recent study that recommended Winnetka ease off tough liquor license regulations and more experienced-based retail. 

D’s Haute Dogs owner Jared Boyar and Winnetka Wine Shop owner Emily Link both say it would be easier to serve changing consumer habits if the village had looser regulations, Chicago Tribune reported.

In a perfect world, Boyar would like to have food runners bring out the food for customers ordering at the counter instead of servers because it would save about $200 per day in labor costs, while Link would like to offer wine and craft beer tastings without customers having to order food because when customers don’t want food, Winnetka Wine Shop looses the customers and food goes to waste, Chicago Tribune reported.
