II is imperative that you take all reasonable steps to follow the laws in your state to ensure prudent and responsible alcohol service to our guests. Your responsibility is as follows: • Understand the law • Evaluate intoxication levels • Check identification • Manage difficult situations THE HARD FACTS· Age to Consume 21 Age to Pour 21 Age to Sell 18, if supervised by someone who is 21 Age to Serve 18, if supervised by someone who is 21 Age to Bartend 21 Server Training Required YES – ServSafe ID Confiscation Allowed YES (but receipt must be given to the person from whom the ID is seized) Acceptable Forms of ID Patrons must show a currently valid ID that depicts the patron's age and picture. Examples include: A driver's license or its equivalent issued by any U.S. state, territory, or foreign country A military ID Card Passport or passport identification card Alien registration card Employment authorization document issued by Dept. of Homeland Security Valid consular ID card from any foreign country. THE CUES The effects of intoxication vary from person to person. When serving alcohol to our guests it is important to observe their behavior during the entire dining experience. Look for impaired judgement, slowed reaction time and impaired motor coordination. Make sure you are monitoring how many drinks you serve each guest. True Food This chart provides averages only. Individuals may vary, and factors such as food in the stomach, medication, and fatigue can affect tolerance At True Food Kitchen, our restaurants are managed by a supervisor or manager all the hours of our operation. Prior to the opening at this location, we will host an alcohol awareness class for our front of the house teams. All employees who serve alcohol will be at least 18 years of age. We will monitor the sale of alcohol through our management team’s constant presence on the floor. Alcohol sales will also be monitored through the individual guest check rung up on our POS s ystem and the server and bartender’s awareness. All guests who appear to be under 30 years of age will be asked to show proof of identification. Anyone who cannot produce a valid and acceptable ID when asked will be refused service. Anyone on our staff who knowingly serves alcohol to a minor will be terminated immediately. Managers will be present in the dining and bar area and are trained to recognize the signs of intoxication. They will instruct the server or bartender to discontinue service to anyone showing signs of intoxication. If a server or bartender comes to the manager to communicate their desire to discontinue serving a guest who has consumed too much, the manager will support that decision and do what is necessary to remove the guest from the premises in a timely manner by means of a third party. Any altercations or disorderly conduct involving guests who have consumed too much will result in the guest being cut off and asked to leave the restaurant. In the instance where these situations escalate, the local authorities will be contacted to assist in removing the guest. True Food Below is our security plan related to the policing of alcohol within the establishment to prevent the service of liquor to underage patrons: 1. All alcohol served is controlled by employees trained in liquor service and who are otherwise in compliance with the ServSafe Training requirements for people who serve alcoholic beverages. 2. Staff will regularly be in the area where alcoholic beverages are being consumed and will monitor guest compliance. 3. Appropriate required signage will be included at all ingress and egress points to the bar area noting that no minors are allowed in the bar area and staff will be trained to monitor for compliance. 4. All patrons who appear under the age of 30 will be required to show valid government issued identification containing a current photograph and date of birth when ordering alcohol. No identification, no service. RECEIPT OF INFORMATION: I have read the Alcohol Service "Need to Know's" and understand that it is my responsibility to comprehend and adhere to the law.

This mission, coupled with a simple set of principles known as the anti-inflammatory food pyramid, are the foundation by which the restaurant brand was built. Following the 2008 opening of its first restaurant in Phoenix, True Food Kitchen’s early growth and development centered around opening new locations throughout the Southwest (Arizona, California, Texas and Colorado). Since then, True Food Kitchen has expanded its health-driven, seasonal offering across the country including Northern California, Illinois, Florida, Georgia, Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania, with plans for even more locations in new markets across the U.S., as part of its robust growth strategy. Under the leadership of CEO Christine Barone, True Food Kitchen transitioned into a stand-alone company under Centerbridge Partners’ majority ownership in October 2017 after the opening of its twentieth restaurant. True Food Kitchen’s home office, known as True Central, is located in Phoenix, Ariz., adjacent to founding Fox Restaurant Concepts’ corporate office. Not unlike its restaurants, True Central has cultivated a culture comprised of passionate people who are doing the work they love. Ten years since its inception, the company’s foundational principles and mission still hold True. Co-founders Sam Fox and Dr. Weil continue to play an active role in the brand’s growth and evolution as it continues its commitment to catering to individuals who embrace healthy living, respect simple, seasonal ingredients and consciously seek out food that doesn’t sacrifice quality, nutrition or taste. True Food Kitchen shows no signs of slowing down…as its growth and development strategy is fueled by a world-class leadership team and a team of individuals across a wide range of capabilities and expertise working together to ensure that the brand remains relevant and continues to exceed the high bar that the it has set for itself in delivering the best hospitality in the industry and the greatest healthy food and beverages to passionate communities everywhere. history of true food kitchen historyRC 6 TRUE FOOD KITCHEN // EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK To show people that a passion for health, hospitality & living true to yourself can begin at our table.

Retaliation Free Workplace The Company also strictly prohibits retaliating against any employee who reports or threatens to report harassment or discrimination or who cooperates with an investigation of a complaint, or supported such a complaint. Retaliation can consist of threats, reprimands, negative performance evaluations, hazing, bullying tactics, and any other types of adverse treatment by a manager or co-worker in response to raising a good faith complaint. Any employee who engages in retaliation will be disciplined, up to and including immediate termination. Conduct of employees of the Company while performing their duties outside the workplace shall also be governed by this policy. Sexual Harassment We firmly prohibit sexual harassment of any employee by another employee, supervisor or third party. Sexual harassment of third parties by our employees is also prohibited. The purpose of this policy is to ensure that in the workplace, no employee is subject to sexual harassment. The Company generally defines sexual harassment as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and/or verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when: • Submission to or rejection of such advances, requests or conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of employment or as a basis for employment decisions such as favorable reviews, salary increases, promotions, increased benefits or continued employment regardless of whether the harasser actually carries through with the threats to alter the subordinate’s terms or conditions of employment; or • Such advances, requests or conduct have the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual’s work performance by creating an intimidating, hostile, humiliating or sexually offensive work environment. Other sexually oriented conduct, whether it is intended or not, that is unwelcome and has the effect of creating a workplace environment that is hostile, offensive, intimidating, or humiliating to male or female workers is prohibited. While it is not possible to list all those circumstances that may constitute sexual harassment, the following are some examples of conduct which if unwelcome, may constitute sexual harassment depending upon the totality of the circumstances including the severity of the conduct and its pervasiveness: sexually-related drawings, pictures, jokes, teasing, e-mails, text messages, uninvited touching or other sexually-related comments.

Managers of tipped employees are responsible to oversee and uphold the company tip reporting policy which requires compliance with reporting 100% of all tips received, excluding tip outs and compliance with all tip reporting laws.

This publication can be found on the IRS website at www.irs.gov/pub/irs- pdf/p1244.pdf. Tip Credit In most states, employers are permitted to take a credit for a certain amount of tips earned by their employees toward the employers’ payment of minimum wage. This credit is referred to as a “tip credit”. In all states where permitted, True Food Kitchen will utilize this tip credit. If a tipped employee’s hourly cash wage plus his or her declared tips does not equal or exceed the federal or state minimum wage requirements, then True Food Kitchen will pay the employee a higher cash wage for that period so that the tipped employee earns the minimum wage in cash wages and tips. The Company notifies team members of relevant tip credit changes by way of employment posters and a Tip Credit Notification which are posted in restaurants, where applicable. There may be circumstances where the company chooses not to take the full tip credit, as allowed by law. onboardingRC 18 TRUE FOOD KITCHEN // EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK Credit Card Fees Where a credit card is used by a guest, the Restaurant reserves the right, where permitted by law, to deduct from tips or gratuities a percentage charged by the credit card company as a processing fee for those tips and gratuities before remitting the balance to the employee.

RC 25TRUE FOOD KITCHEN // EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK EMPLOYEE conduct Respectful Behavior There are lots of do’s and don’ts when it comes to employee ethics. We’ll start with the things you need to do to ensure you are helping create and maintain a respectful workplace. Employees must treat guests, employees, and vendors with respect and dignity while they are at work. You’re on the way to behaving ethically when you treat your co-workers well. Be Honest Honesty is the best policy. This means being honest in your everyday work activities, even when the truth is hard. For example, being honest and forthright includes: • Admitting when you made a mistake • Answering your supervisor’s questions truthfully, even if our answers may place you or a co-worker in a negative light; and • Telling a guest the truth even when you know he or she will be upset or disappointed with what you have said. Being honest also means that you must do what you promise to do. If you tell a supervisor, co-worker, or a guest that you are going to do something, then you better do it. Nothing is worse than not fulfilling a commitment, and nobody wants to be known as the person who does not do what they say they will. Always Do Your Best It is important for you to be the best employee you can be. This means you should always complete all your tasks to the best of your ability. Of course, you are going to have bad days – everybody does. However, if you do the best you can every day, knowing that some days you are going to perform better than others, you are doing everything you can. Never cut corners or take the path of least resistance. Respect Property Processes and Information You should always handle our property, products, information and company practices in a responsible manner. This includes respecting company files, training materials, equipment, and supplies. Don’t be careless with things just because they are not ours. Respecting our property also involves being “thrifty”. Don’t waste resources, supplies, or services. That includes taking home restaurant products or supplies (which is stealing and will result in disciplinary action). You also must respect our confidentiality and privacy. This means keeping our company’s non-public confidential and proprietary information private. Don’t talk to your friends and family about non-public confidential and proprietary information that people outside our organization are not supposed to know (e.g., revenues, profits, newly developed items, marketing campaigns, possible new restaurant locations). Even if it something really juicy – keep it to yourself. benefits & conductRC 26 TRUE FOOD KITCHEN // EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK Avoid Conflicts of Interest There are many things that may cause a conflict between our interest and your own personal interests. Some potential conflicts of interest may include: • Romantic relationships with co-workers, supervisors, vendors or guests. • Accepting gifts, entertainment, or anything of value from a guest, or vendor. • Trading out gift cards or meals for your own personal gain. • Hiring or giving preferential treatment to friends or relatives that may work for you. Report All Potential Ethical Violations You should report ethical violations. Championing ethics in the workplace is part of your job. Unethical practices could really hurt True Food Kitchen and it’s your job to help protect our company. Behavior You must not display negative attitudes that have a negative impact on guests or disruptive to other employees performing their job duties. You must not be discourteous or disrespectful to a guest or any member of the public, and may not threaten, intimidate, coerce, or otherwise interfere with the job performance of fellow employees. Remember that you are always “on-stage,” everybody is watching your movements throughout the restaurant. You represent us at all times and your actions reflect upon the entire company. Your behavior should be professional from the moment you enter the building until the moment you leave. With our strong repeat guest base, our community supports us and upstanding reputation is vital to our success. Please help us continue to remain in good standing by demonstrating a positive, professional respect for our guest san fellow employees. Please make it a habit to include the words “please” and “thank you” into your daily vocabulary. Each employee is also expected to work in a cooperative manner with management/supervision, co-workers, guests, and vendors. Insubordination, abusive, or vulgar language towards anyone will not be tolerated. Teamwork Master your job first and know when to ask for help. We are all here to ensure that each and every guest has a great experience. To accomplish this, we must all be willing to do whatever it takes to take care of our guests and each other. Also, properly asking for help before it is needed shows us that you understand our commitment to the guest. Do not be afraid to ask for help from a manager or another employee when you need it. Drugs and Alcohol We believe all employees should be able to work in a drug free environment. An employee who comes to work with his/her abilities impaired by drugs or alcohol not only risks injury to himself/herself, but also to those around him/her. The use, possession, transportation, promotion or sale of illegal drugs by employees at any time, including off-site events is absolutely prohibited and will lead to termination. Responsibility and safety are the key principles behind our attitude toward service and consumption of alcohol. Being under the influence while on duty, consumption of alcoholic beverages while on duty, or being intoxicated is prohibited and will lead to termination. If dining in any of our restaurants when you are not working, you must be at least 21 years of age to order or consume alcohol in the restaurant. Only on-duty bartenders and managers are allowed behind the bar. You may not order alcohol directly from the bar. In all other instances, alcoholic beverages must be purchased through a server. Abuse of this policy in any matter will result in disciplinary action up to and including termination. Weapons Employees may not possess or use firearms, weapons, or explosives while on company property. Refer to your new hire documents and restaurant postings, as your state or local law may permit lawful storage of firearm in a locked, private vehicle in a parking lot. RC 27TRUE FOOD KITCHEN // EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK Theft Theft of any kind or form will result in immediate termination of employment. We will prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. It is not our intent to discuss the various modes of this offense, however, there are some examples we feel necessary to point out: • Theft of sales revenues • Theft of products, supplies, equipment, and personal property. • Embezzlement of any type • Falsification of timekeeping records • Willful failure to charge a guest for food or beverage served • Manipulation of the in-house computer or POS system with the intent to deceive or mislead; including adding tip to a guest check without making them aware of it Company Functions On occasion, we may organize a social gathering for employees where we encourage interaction between co- workers. It is your obligation to behave in a professional and responsible manner at all company functions and to maintain a safe and fun environment for all attendees. Any behavior deemed inappropriate is strictly prohibited. All company policies apply at off-site events. Fraternizing We recognize that employees may develop personal and/or romantic relationships in the course of their employment. However, in an effort to prevent favoritism, morale problems, disputes or misunderstandings and potential sexual harassment claims, managers are not permitted to date or engage in sexual relationships with subordinate employees. If a sexual relationship develops between a manager and a subordinate, both employees are required to report the relationship to Human Resources and the company will immediately seek to change the reporting structure. Violation of this policy may result in discipline, up to and including termination. Furthermore, coworkers are discouraged from dating or pursuing romantic or sexual relationships with each other. Personal Property Due to the limited storage areas in our restaurants, we prefer that you do not bring personal items in to work with you. If you do bring in personal property, be aware that you are doing so at your own risk.

Smoking (including e-cigarettes) is not allowed on the premises at any time. No gum chewing is allowed; please do not enter the building at any time with gum in your mouth. Also, please do not chew on straws or toothpicks when you are in the restaurant.

Even if set to vibrate, you are not to check text messages or see from whom the message is from. All messages can wait until the end of your shift or a break. If there is an extremely important reason why you may need to be contacted while at work, please discuss the matter with your manager. Personal Telephone Calls No personal calls will be accepted during working hours. Business phones are to be used for the restaurant’s business purposes only. You will only be allowed to come to the phone for a personal call in the event of an emergency. Employee Parking Employee parking areas have been designated for each restaurant. The General Manager is responsible for ensuring all employees are advised of the designated employee parking area. You are prohibited from parking in any area other than the designated employee parking area.benefits & conductbenefits & conductRC 28 TRUE FOOD KITCHEN // EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK Employee Discipline If you violate any one of our policies, you will be disciplined up to and including immediate discharge. The nature of the discipline will depend upon the violation and surrounding circumstances. While we will attempt to improve performance, it is important to note that in no case are we required to utilize a progressive discipline approach prior to discharging any employee. The following is a partial list of reasons for disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment (it cannot be and is not intended to be all-inclusive): • Unlawful harassment • Discriminatory conduct • Threatening, intimidating, coercing, fighting, or otherwise interfering with the job performance of fellow employees • Unexcused absences from work (No-call; No- show) • Failure to keep accurate time records (e.g. not clocking in or out for shifts, not taking or clocking out in for required meal and rest periods, working off the clock, etc.) • Reporting to work or working while under the influence of intoxicating beverages or illegal drugs • Possession of illegal drugs • Theft of company property • Arguing, or disputing a tip from a guest • Falsification of employment records, employment information or other company records • Knowingly serving alcohol to a minor • Consumption of alcohol while working • Pleading guilty to or being convicted of a crime that indicates the employee is unfit for the job or poses a threat to the safety or well-being of the company’s employees, guests or property • Violation of company policies and/or rules • Failure to carry out instructions • Failure to follow proper employee and guest relations guidelines • Unsatisfactory job performance (poor quality, poor quantity, poor attitude with a guest/vendors) • Reporting for work or working in a condition unable to safely perform one’s duties • Reporting to work sick or contagious with communicable illness • Carelessness and negligence • Mishandling of company equipment • Neglecting to inform a manager of a guest complaint • Excessive personal phone calls • Grazing (eating during your shift) • Eating without properly paying for or ringing in food • Kitchen staff eating unapproved food • Neglecting to follow proper sanitation procedures • Not parking in designated areas • Violation of safety rules • Leaving the premises during working hours without authorization • Dishonesty • Conducting personal business on company time or premises • Threat of violence to another employee or guest • Use of abusive, foul, obscene, threatening, or intimidating language (examples include language meant to intentionally harm someone’s reputation or that could contribute to a hostile work environment on the basis of race, sex, disability, religion or other status protected by applicable law) • Use of religious, racial, ethnic, or gender-based slurs • Violation of our harassment-free workplace policy The fact that a possible violation is not listed does not mean that it would not result in disciplinary action, including immediate termination. This list should not be considered all inclusive. In most circumstances, common sense tells us what would constitute a violation. Use your best judgment. RC 29TRUE FOOD KITCHEN // EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK career development Transfers Transferring to another one of our restaurants can prove beneficial for you, especially if you want to expand your knowledge of different concepts and cuisines. Transfers to locations in other cities and states may also be a possibility. If you would like to transfer, you should submit a transfer request form to your restaurant’s General Manager. There is no guarantee that another restaurant will have an opening or be able to accept your request, but we will do our best to accommodate you providing you meet the eligibility requirements. Coaching and Feedback Our employees are our most valuable asset and the reason for our tremendous growth and success. To keep this standard, your manager will provide you with regular coaching and feedback. Performance reviews are an important part of your professional growth with us. This review process will provide you with an opportunity to discuss work standards, areas where improvement is needed, and your career developmental potential. It will also provide specific and timely feedback on your job performance and serve as a standard of measurement for promotions.developmentRC 30 TRUE FOOD KITCHEN // EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK managing your time Attendance You are considered a crucial part of our team. We put forth our best effort to schedule the number of employees needed to provide optimum service to our guests. As such, we count on your attendance with the expectation of punctuality and regular attendance, (two of the most important aspects of your overall job performance). You are expected to report to work as scheduled, on time and prepared to start work. You are also expected to remain at work for their entire work schedule, except for meal/rest periods required under applicable state and local law, or when required to leave on authorized company business. Late arrival, early departure or other absences from scheduled hours are generally disruptive and may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination. Scheduling All schedules are subject to change to meet our business needs. We post schedules by Friday for the following work week. You must work a scheduled shift unless a manager authorizes the change. You may not call in for your schedule; if you are not on HotSchedules you must come into the restaurant to find out when you are working. Clock in for work when you are scheduled and begin work immediately. Never clock in for another co-worker. If you fail to clock in or out, notify a manager right away. Schedule Changes All schedule changes must be submitted to a manager. A manager must approve the change. At this point, the replacement assumes total responsibility for the shift. RC 31TRUE FOOD KITCHEN // EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK Time Off Any request for time off must be approved by a manager. Time off requests should be no greater than two weeks in length, unless you are on an approved leave of absence. Ideally, a time off request should be submitted to a manager at least two weeks prior to the date time off will begin. Remember, a request is exactly that. We will do our best to accommodate your request, but there is no guarantee. Please do not make travel arrangements until your request has been approved. Tardiness and Absences Unnecessary tardiness and absenteeism are expensive and disruptive, and place an unfair burden on other team members and managers. Excessive tardiness or absenteeism that is not excused by an approved leave will result in disciplinary action, which may include termination of employment, and will have an adverse effect on any promotional consideration. Holidays Restaurant staffing needs are greatest during the holidays and social/special events. We will always try to comply with your requests, but we ask that you recognize how critical your presence is during these peak periods. We observe the following two unpaid holidays and will be closed for business: Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Please do not make any plans until you consult with your manager. Types of Leave The company has outlined below the general types of leave available to company employees, but leave laws may be different in your state or local jurisdiction. The company’s leave policies may be subject to periodic modification. Please check with your manager or Human Resources regarding the use of any leaves of absence and the applicable rules and laws governing such leaves. Personal Leave of Absence A personal leave of absence without pay (maximum of 14 days) may be granted to an employee at our sole discretion. Requests for personal leave should be limited to unusual circumstances. Paid Sick Leave The company recognizes that employees and/or their family members will need days off from work from time to time to address their medical needs. Accordingly, employees in certain states or local jurisdictions may be eligible for paid sick leave. For specific information that may apply to you, please refer to your state addendum, new hire documents and restaurant postings. Family and Medical Leave (FMLA) Family Medical Leave refers to a period when an employee takes time off work for one of the specific reasons outlined below. In general, employees are eligible for a Family Medical Leave when they: ( l) Have worked for the company at least 12 months prior to the date on which the leave is to commence; (2) have worked at least 1,250 hours during the 12-month period preceding the leave; and (3) work at a location where at least 50 employees are employed by the company within a 75-mile radius. Your state or local jurisdiction may have a different method of calculating eligibility; please refer to your new hire documents and restaurant postings. Some state laws provide FMLA-like leave entitlements. If leave qualifies for both state and federal FMLA leave, the leave used counts against your entitlement under both laws. State and federal FMLA leaves run concurrently. Leave taken under workers’ compensation or other leave entitlements also will run concurrently with state and federal FMLA leave. During an approved family/medical leave, your health benefits will be maintained as if you continued to be actively employed. If paid leave is substituted for unpaid family/medical leave, the company will deduct your portion of the health plan premium as a regular payroll deduction. If your leave is unpaid, you must pay your portion of the premium on your regularly scheduled payday. Your healthcare coverage will cease if your premium payment is more than 30 days late. If your payment is more than 15 days late, we will send you a letter to this effect. If we do not receive your co- payment within 15 days after the date of this letter, your coverage may cease. If you elect not to return to work for at least 30 calendar days at the end of the leave period, you will be required to reimburse True timeRC 32 TRUE FOOD KITCHEN // EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK Food Kitchen for the cost of the premiums paid by it for maintaining coverage during your unpaid leave, unless you cannot return to work because of a serious health condition or other circumstances beyond your control. FMLA: Reasons for Leave You may take family and medical leave for any of the following reasons: 1. The birth of a child and in order to bond with or provide care for such child (up to twelve (12) weeks in a twelve (12) month period); 2. The placement of a child with you for adoption or foster care and in order to bond with or care for the new child (up to twelve (12) weeks in a twelve (12) month period); 3. To care for a parent, child, spouse, or domestic partner with a serious health condition (up to twelve (12) weeks in a twelve (12) month period); 4. For your own serious health condition that renders you unable to perform the functions of your position (up to twelve (12) weeks in a twelve (12) month period); 5. Exigent circumstances related to the military deployment of a parent, child, spouse or domestic partner (up to twelve (12) weeks in a twelve (12) month period); or 6. To care for a parent, child, spouse, or domestic partner injured in the course of military service (up to twenty-six (26) weeks in a twelve (12) month period); A serious health condition is one that requires either an overnight stay in a medical facility or continuing medical treatments (two or more) by a health care provider. Leave for either of the first two reasons must be completed within the 12-month period beginning on the date of birth or placement. In addition, in cases where both parents are employed by the company, the couple may take a combined total of 12 weeks’ leave during any 12-month period for reasons 1 and 2. Please contact Human Resources for specific leave applicability and eligibility. FMLA: Notice of Leave To the extent practicable, the employee is required to make a reasonable effort to notify the company of the need for family/medical leave to avoid disruption to business operations. Thus, if your need for family/ medical leave is foreseeable (e.g., for childbirth, bonding, or planned medical treatments), you must give the company at least 30 days’ notice prior to taking the leave of absence. If this is not possible, you must give notice as soon as possible (within one to two business days of learning of your need for leave, except in extraordinary circumstances). Failure to provide such notice may be grounds for delay of the leave. Request for Family/Medical Leave forms are available by contacting Human Resources. When providing notice, be sure to include the dates and duration of your leave, if possible. Contact Human Resources on information regarding required certification documents and to discuss any questions you may have. FMLA: Reporting While on Leave Upon expiration of your leave of absence, you must contact True Food Kitchen regarding your return to work. If you fail to do so, it may be considered job abandonment. In addition, you must give notice as soon as practicable (within two business days if feasible) if the dates of the leave change, are extended, or were unknown initially. Bereavement Leave In the event of death occurs in a full time employee’s immediate family, the employee may take up to three (3) consecutive work days with the approval of the General Manager, unless your state or local law provides a greater bereavement leave allowance. For purposes of the policy, an employee’s immediate family is defined to include the employee’s current spouse or domestic partner, child, parent, legal guardian, brother, sister, grandparent, grandchild, or mother-, father-, sister-, brother-, son- or daughter in law. RC 33TRUE FOOD KITCHEN // EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK Military Leave We support employees who take military leave to serve in the uniformed services of the United States. We fully comply with the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act and all other applicable state and local laws. You are eligible to take military leave if you enlist, are inducted, volunteer for duty or are called to duty (including active and inactive duty training) in the U.S. Armed Forces, Military Reserves or National Guard; you are called to serve in an honor guard for a veteran’s funeral; you must be absent from work for an examination to determine fitness for military duty; you provide service under certain circumstances as a member of the National Disaster Medical System or in the commissioned corps of the Public Health Service; or your service otherwise qualifies under applicable state or local military leave law. Unless there is an exception under applicable law, these benefits are generally limited to five years of leave of absence. You are eligible for benefits only if you are honorably discharged. Unless there is an emergency, you must provide Human Resources with advance notice of the need for military leave. The company requests that you also submit a copy of your military orders or other documentation to Human Resources. Military leave is unpaid. Unless there are changed circumstances that make reemployment impossible, unreasonable, or an undue hardship, you must return to the company as follows: • Service less than 31 days: You must report back to work by the beginning of the first full regularly scheduled work shift occurring eight (8) hours after you return home. • Service more than 30 days but less than 181 days: You must submit an application for reemployment no later than 14 days after completion of military service. • Service more than 180 days: You must submit an application for reemployment no later than 90 days after completion of military service. These deadlines may be extended - for example, because of a hospitalization or convalescence incurred in or aggravated by military service - in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local law. If your military service is longer than 30 days, you must submit documentation confirming the period of your military service and the manner in which you were discharged or otherwise completed your military service. Upon your return from military leave, you will be placed in the same position (or a position with equivalent pay, seniority and status) as the position which company reasonably believes you would have been in had you not been absent because of military service - provided that you remain qualified (or with training can become qualified) for that position. If you are not qualified for such a position, you will be placed in the position which you held before going on military leave. If you are no longer qualified for this formerly held position, the company will place you in a position which approximates, to the greatest extent possible, either (a) the position which the company reasonably believes you would have held if you had not been on leave or (b) the position you held at the time when you began your military leave. If you return to work following military leave, we will provide you with all seniority-based benefits and rights you would have had if you had not been on military leave. Other Leave Please refer to your state addendum or new hire documents and restaurant postings for information regarding Jury Duty Leave, Voting Time Off, Crime Victims Leave, Subpoena Leave, or other types of leave provided under applicable federal, state and local laws. Please also contact your General Manager or Human Resources in the event you have any questions.timeRC 34 TRUE FOOD KITCHEN // EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK workplace safety Health and Product Safety Food safety is a primary concern for every person in the restaurant and it is our responsibility to serve safe food to every guest. By reducing cross contamination, carefully monitoring times and temperatures, and requiring frequent hand washing, we can reduce the risk of food contamination in our restaurants. Violation of health and sanitation standards may result in immediate suspension and/or termination. Your actions directly affect the health of guests and your peers, so you must be responsible for the safe handling of food and equipment. All surroundings must be maintained in a sanitary condition. When you notice a co-worker not following guidelines, please bring it to his/her attention. It is important that we all work together to ensure the health and safety of our guests. Be sure to tell a manager if you see any violations of health and safety procedures. Security and Safety We are committed to providing a safe work environment. Regard for safety of all our guests and employees is imperative. The security of our facilities as well as the welfare of our employees and guests requires that every individual be constantly aware of potential security risks. You should immediately notify your manager when persons are acting in a suspicious manner, in or around our restaurants. Every employee is responsible for the safety of him or herself. To achieve our goal of maintaining a safe work environment, everyone must be safety conscious at all times. Each employee must practice safety awareness by thinking defensively, anticipating situations and reporting unsafe conditions immediately. RC In order to ensure the safety of our employees and guests, we reserve the right to search all company property, vehicles, structures, furniture and computer equipment including but not limited to work or guest areas at any time and for any reason. You should have no expectation of privacy in any items brought onto company premises. You are therefore encouraged to refrain from storing on our premises any personal articles (including personal correspondence) that you wish to protect from inspection by management. Refusal to allow a search, or hindrance of such, may result in corrective action, up to and including termination. Injuries If at any time during your shift you are injured, you must notify a manager immediately. The manager and injured employee will place a call together to Medcor. Medcor provides triage suitable for most injuries, but is not a 911 system for a life-threatening situation. Always call 911 first for any potential life-threatening situations. Workers’ Compensation Workers compensation is a critical benefit provided to employees based on certain qualifications. If you are injured on the job, you may be entitled to receive workers’ compensation benefits. You should immediately report all accidents or injuries to your supervisor so that a claim form can be completed. Failure to report an accident or injury on a timely basis could result in a loss of benefits. True Food Kitchen also requires that you and any other employee who witnesses the accident or injury document what happened and record other related information. Remember: • If you are injured on the job, you must notify your supervisor immediately and an accident report must be completed. • It is critical that you comply with this requirement to protect the benefits you are entitled to under Workers’ Compensation Insurance and receive proper medical treatment if necessary. • Report all accidents and injuries no matter how small. • If an on-the-job injury results in lost time from work, you must notify our supervisor as soon as you become aware that lost time will occur. Retaliation against any employee who files a workers’ compensation claim is strictly prohibited. Short Term Disability Depending upon where they work, employees who are absent for an extended period due to illness may be entitled to a continuation of a portion of their income from the state. Employees should contact their General Manager for the necessary forms. Unemployment Benefits True Food Kitchen contributes to unemployment insurance to provide compensation to individuals who become unemployed by no fault of their own. Eligibility for this benefit is regulated by the law and depends on the reason for unemployment.safety35TRUE FOOD KITCHEN // EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK RC RCC14x24x74(2 Tier)(5 TIER)24X60X86(5 TIER)24X60X86(5 TIER)24X60X86(5 TIER)24X48X86(5 TIER)24X60X86(5 TIER)24X60X86(5 TIER)24X60X86(5 TIER)24X48X86(5 TIER)24X48X86(5 TIER)24X48X86FDFD(5 TIER)24X48X86(5 TIER)24X48X86(5 TIER)24X48X86D(5 TIER)24X60X86(5 TIER)24X60X86(5 TIER)24X48X86(5 TIER)24X48X86(5 TIER)24X48X86112EMPLOYEERESTROOM113WOMEN'SRESTROOM119MECH.114MEN'SRESTROOM118DRY STORAGE111HALLWAY117DISH109DINING AREA104STAGING115RECEIVING116COOLER110PREP108KITCHEN107BAR103HOST102PATIO100aVESTIBULE101ADJACENT TENANT SPACE - NOT IN SCOPE(E) RAMP(E) RAMPCOFFEE/JUICEBAR1514'-7"17'-6"5'-2"16'-7" 8'-11"8'-2" 4'-9 1/2"6'-5"8'-7"26'-11 1/2"8'-4 "8'-7 1/2"10'-3 1/2"16'-2 1/2"9'-11"11'-9 1/2"11'-5"9'-6"9'-8"6'-6 1/2"19'-11 1/2"19'-10"36'-10"6'-2 1/2" 6'-9 1/2"9'-2"28'-5 1/2"9'-3"25'-10"7'-1 1/2"3'-6 1/2"8'-6 1/2" CLEAR 10'-7 1/2"9'-0"20'-1"8'-5"8'-2 1/2" 6'-5 1/2"6'-2 1/2" 5'-10" 4'-0 " 4'-0 "3'-4"6'-1 1/2"16'-7 1/2"3'-0 1/2"CLEAR9'-2 "19'-6 1/2"CLEAROFFICE9'-1 "8'-0"9'-11"10'-7 1/2"4'-7"10'-0"LOCKABLE LIQUORSTORAGELOCKABLECOOLERSFOR LIQUORLOCKED OFFICEFOR BOOKS ANDRECORDS10'- 3 1 / 2 "61'-6"42"H METAL GUARDRAILAND GATES AT PATIOPOSPOSPOSPOSPOSPOSPOSPOSLIQUOR STATIONPROPOSEDPREMISESDISHSTORAGEHANDSINKHANDSINKBEVERAGECOUNTERH A N D SERVICEPICK-UP100103102101104105109108107106110117112113116118120121122123126127128129130200208218212207210201205220221206305300304301302303307311316309310313314317318319315408409411410412415417418418500501805506802503600608610601609603605604602606608607611700702703704705706708709711712801701714718717724725722723719803808805503802321312322507419421208204507502505111(T)400414401402405403417404413414416415420210PASTRYPREP222320311805115119124710702703705SI N K730 207406728704716713731308322407111111119119111111111224225HANDSINK119115115223800806800806800806804714714721721801720706726326732732732131720323312119125511124132111111111503502504504214729115115115115202COFFEE902903901909910809912908906900904905907911322510510803913NITRO914915916720715325124720NOTE: SEE SHEET A101 FOREQUIPMENT SCHEDULE11'-6"39'-1"4'-11"3'-1"6'-9"2'-7 1/2"6'-9"3'-9"3'-9"5'-1"8'-3"4'-9 1/2"112'-0"3'-9 1/2"2'-7"3'-4 1/2"3'-4 1/2"3'-4 1/2"3'-4 1/2"3'-4 1/2"3'-4 1/2"2'-7"4'-0"10'-5 1/2"10'-3"12'-9"18'-1 1/2"LIQUORSTATION7'-11"SHEET NAME:STATUS:STORE NO:DATE:DRAWN:SCALE:PROJECT NO:SHEET NO:FIELD VERIFICATION:COPYRIGHT © 2024:12345A6BCDE123456The contractor shall verify all figured dimensions andcondition at the project site and notify Zebra Projects, INC.of any dimensional errors, or omissions or discrepanciesbefore beginning or fabricating any work.

Because this is a disciplinary proceeding, the Authority shall not ask for or allow comment from members of the general public on the guilt of the licensee or the appropriate discipline to be imposed. The purpose of this hearing is to receive testimony presented by the City and by the licensee in order to enable this Authority to make findings and to determine by a preponderance of the evidence whether or not the licensee has violated the various laws as alleged. If, in the course of th e he aring, testimony or other evidence establishes the guilt of the licensee of a violation of some other law, rule, or regulation than those stated in the notice, the licensee shall be afforded a reasonable continuance upon any offer th at evidence in defense, explanation, and mitigation is not then available to the licensee, but can be obtained within the period of a continuance not to exceed ten days. A record is being made of these proceedings. All testimony shall be given under oath. The rules of evidence and requirement of proof and procedure shall confirm to the extent practicable to those in civil non-jury cases, but when necessary to ascertain facts affecting the substantial rights of the public or of the licensee, the Authority may receive and consider evidence not admissible under such rules if such evidence possess probative value commonly accepted by reasonable and prudent persons in the conduct of their affairs. The rules of privilege required by law shall be respected in this proceeding, and the Chair may exclude incompetent and unduly repetitious evidence. The Chair shall rule upon all questions of evidence cand procedure, subject to being overruled on motion sustained by a majority vote of those members of the Aut hority present. Should a licensee wish to request a fine in lieu of active suspension days, they should notify the Authority of this after a penalty is determined, if any, but before suspension posting is discussed, and the licensee should be prepared to supply an estimated per day suspension dollar amount for the Authority’s deliberations. Those who desire to be heard shall identify themselves by stating their name, spelling their last name, and stating their pertinent address. They shall also be sworn in by the Board Secretary. 3)The Chair, then asks the Authority members if anyone has a conflict of interest for this item or if they have and ex -parte contacts regarding this item that they wish to disclose. If there is a conflict of interest or ex-parte contact for an Authority member disclosed, the City Attorney may inquire as to the details of the disclosure. 4) The following is an outline of the way in stipulated to hearings shall generally proceed: (a) STIPULATION OFFER: The representative of the City shall be given the opportunity to make a brief statement that a stipulation agreement has been reached. The representative of the City shall then state to the Authority what agreement has been reached with the licensee. (b) STIPULATION ACCEPTANCE: An Authority member must move, and a board member must second, to accept the Offer of Stipulation. A vote will be held. If the Stipulation Offer is rejected by the Authority, a full hearing mist take place as set forth in the “Hearing Procedures for a Suspension or Revocation Hearing without Stipulation.” 5) The Authority shall then afford the licensee the opportunity to present evidence in mitigation and to make argument in the course of the hearing. The City’s representative shall then be afforded the opportunity to present any additional evidence in aggravation, and to make a recommendation as to the discipline to be imposed. 6) After the Authority has discussed the matter of the appropriate disciplinary action, the Chair shall poll each member of the Authority for their preferred level of discipline, and shall thereafter first recognize for the purpose of making a motion setting the discipline that member whose views are the most severe but still appear likely to receive three positive votes. An Authority member shall move, and a member must second, the motion to set the penalty. At this time, the licensee should raise the Authori ty’s acceptance of a fine in lieu of suspension. 7) If the Authority votes to order that the license be suspended, then the Chair shall state that unless there is an objection from the member of the Authority, the order of suspension shall include a requirement that the licensee post two conspicuous notices specified in the Department of Revenue Liquor Regulations 47-600(f). 8) The Chair will then announce that the hearing of the Order to Show Cause is concluded, and that the next item in the agenda should be called. Memorandum ____________________________________________________________________________________ To: BLA Members Date: January 21, 2026 RE: Background and Procedural History – Ado’s LLC DBA Ado’s ____________________________________________________________________________________ At the December 17, 2025 BLA hearing, licensee spoke regarding trying to stay in business. Licensing Manager spoke regarding communications with the State about the licensee not being in good standing with the State and the State not able to renew the license. Sales Tax Supervisor spoke regarding the licensee being in good standing with the City Licensing Analyst spoke regarding the licensee’s payments to the State. After much discussion and additional guidance from Attorney Ramirez, the Chair of the BLA informed licensee that they would discuss the matter more at next hearing in January. Liquor License Expiration Date: April 21, 2025 Ado’s liquor license renewal application was filed on March 7, 2025, which is exactly forty-five (45) days prior to the license expiration date of April 21, 2025, meeting the filing deadline established under BLA Rules of Procedure 8-1-1 (Timely Application Required). While timely filed, the renewal application was substantively incomplete and did not include any of the required supporting documentation. Between March 27, 2025, and August 12, 2025, Licensing staff made numerous attempts to contact the licensee via email to obtain required renewal materials, including: • State Tax Authorization Form • Proof of payment to the State of Colorado • Alcohol service training form • Employee training certificates No documents were submitted during this period. Additionally, the licensee was repeatedly advised to contact the City’s Business and Sales Tax Division regarding unresolved business license and sales tax matters. During this time, staff was unable to obtain confirmation that the licensee was in good standing with the City. Due to the prolonged failure to provide required documentation and unresolved tax status, staff scheduled the renewal for a Beverage Licensing Authority (BLA) hearing on August 20, 2025. August and September 2025 Hearings The licensee failed to pick up the required posting poster for the August 20 hearing. As a result, the matter was continued to the September 17, 2025, BLA hearing to allow for proper posting. The licensee did not appear for the September hearing. At the September 17, 2025, hearing, the BLA unanimously ordered the licensee to immediately cease the sale of alcoholic beverages until the renewal application was brought into compliance. Licensing staff provided notice of this order to the licensee both via email and through in-person delivery. The licensee was also informed of the requirement to appear at the October 15, 2025, BLA hearing. October 2025 Hearing and Conditional Approval The licensee appeared at the October 15, 2025, BLA hearing and provided testimony regarding the late- filed renewal deficiencies and suspension of alcohol sales. The BLA approved the renewal application with conditions, including: • Eight (8) monthly compliance check-ins before the BLA • Timely payment of sales tax • Responsiveness to City staff November and December 2025 Hearings Between the October and November hearings, the licensee had multiple conversations with the Licensing Analyst regarding potential eviction, alcohol inventory disposition, and sales tax issues. At the November 19, 2025, BLA check-in, the licensee informed the Authority that he was attempting to negotiate with his landlord to remain in business. Licensing staff reported that alcohol inventory disposal was being scheduled in anticipation of closure. At the request of the City Attorney, the licensee was directed to communicate with Licensing staff regarding the business’s final day of operations. On November 21, 2025, Licensing staff received confirmation that an eviction order had been granted to the property owner for the licensed premises. At the December 17, 2025, BLA hearing, the licensee again stated he was attempting to remain in business. Licensing staff reported communications with the State Liquor Enforcement Division indicating that the licensee was not in good standing with the State, preventing State renewal. City Sales Tax staff confirmed the licensee was currently in good standing with the City. Licensing staff also reported on payments made to the State. After discussion and guidance from the City Attorney, the BLA Chair advised the licensee that the matter would be further discussed at the January 2026 hearing. Prior Renewal History The licensee has a documented history of recurring renewal deficiencies, including late filings, missing documentation, and tax compliance issues: • 2024: Renewal deficiencies unresolved for over one year • 2023: Renewal finalized in September due to missing documentation and tax issues • 2022: Renewal delayed due to missing documents and tax deficiencies • 2021: Late filing, multiple compliance issues, and required BLA hearing • 2020–2019: Renewals delayed due to sales tax and training documentation • 2018: First renewal filed late Additional Compliance Issues Identified Licensing staff has identified the following unresolved violations: • Operation under an unapproved trade name (“Ado’s Kitchen”) without filing a Trade Name Change application • Alcohol service on an unapproved patio that was never added to the licensed premises • Continued use of City-owned patio space after expiration of the Revocable Right-of-Way lease, with outstanding unpaid fees • Interior premises modifications (removal of seating and addition of pool tables) without a required Permanent Modification application • State Department of Revenue notice dated December 18, 2025, stating the licensee failed to file or pay required state taxes Staff Request Given the totality of circumstances—including the licensee’s unresolved State tax noncompliance, the State of Colorado’s inability to renew the liquor license due to the licensee not being in good standing with the Department of Revenue, the fact that the liquor license expired on April 21, 2025, and information from State Liquor Enforcement indicating that the license may have been administratively closed, which would require the licensee to apply for a new liquor license—along with the licensee’s eviction from the licensed premises, repeated failure to comply with licensing requirements, and ongoing unapproved operations, Licensing staff requests direction from the Beverage Licensing Authority as to whether the licensee may continue to sell and serve alcoholic beverages at this time. Memorandum ____________________________________________________________________________________ To: BLA Members Date: January 21, 2026 RE: Background and Procedural History – Ado’s LLC DBA Ado’s ____________________________________________________________________________________ At the December 17, 2025 BLA hearing, licensee spoke regarding trying to stay in business. Licensing Manager spoke regarding communications with the State about the licensee not being in good standing with the State and the State not able to renew the license. Sales Tax Supervisor spoke regarding the licensee being in good standing with the City Licensing Analyst spoke regarding the licensee’s payments to the State. After much discussion and additional guidance from Attorney Ramirez, the Chair of the BLA informed licensee that they would discuss the matter more at next hearing in January. Liquor License Expiration Date: April 21, 2025 Ado’s liquor license renewal application was filed on March 7, 2025, which is exactly forty-five (45) days prior to the license expiration date of April 21, 2025, meeting the filing deadline established under BLA Rules of Procedure 8-1-1 (Timely Application Required). While timely filed, the renewal application was substantively incomplete and did not include any of the required supporting documentation. Between March 27, 2025, and August 12, 2025, Licensing staff made numerous attempts to contact the licensee via email to obtain required renewal materials, including: • State Tax Authorization Form • Proof of payment to the State of Colorado • Alcohol service training form • Employee training certificates No documents were submitted during this period. Additionally, the licensee was repeatedly advised to contact the City’s Business and Sales Tax Division regarding unresolved business license and sales tax matters. During this time, staff was unable to obtain confirmation that the licensee was in good standing with the City. Due to the prolonged failure to provide required documentation and unresolved tax status, staff scheduled the renewal for a Beverage Licensing Authority (BLA) hearing on August 20, 2025. August and September 2025 Hearings The licensee failed to pick up the required posting poster for the August 20 hearing. As a result, the matter was continued to the September 17, 2025, BLA hearing to allow for proper posting. The licensee did not appear for the September hearing. At the September 17, 2025, hearing, the BLA unanimously ordered the licensee to immediately cease the sale of alcoholic beverages until the renewal application was brought into compliance. Licensing staff provided notice of this order to the licensee both via email and through in-person delivery. The licensee was also informed of the requirement to appear at the October 15, 2025, BLA hearing. October 2025 Hearing and Conditional Approval The licensee appeared at the October 15, 2025, BLA hearing and provided testimony regarding the late- filed renewal deficiencies and suspension of alcohol sales. The BLA approved the renewal application with conditions, including: • Eight (8) monthly compliance check-ins before the BLA • Timely payment of sales tax • Responsiveness to City staff November and December 2025 Hearings Between the October and November hearings, the licensee had multiple conversations with the Licensing Analyst regarding potential eviction, alcohol inventory disposition, and sales tax issues. At the November 19, 2025, BLA check-in, the licensee informed the Authority that he was attempting to negotiate with his landlord to remain in business. Licensing staff reported that alcohol inventory disposal was being scheduled in anticipation of closure. At the request of the City Attorney, the licensee was directed to communicate with Licensing staff regarding the business’s final day of operations. On November 21, 2025, Licensing staff received confirmation that an eviction order had been granted to the property owner for the licensed premises. At the December 17, 2025, BLA hearing, the licensee again stated he was attempting to remain in business. Licensing staff reported communications with the State Liquor Enforcement Division indicating that the licensee was not in good standing with the State, preventing State renewal. City Sales Tax staff confirmed the licensee was currently in good standing with the City. Licensing staff also reported on payments made to the State.

Your appearance date is noted in the Show Cause Order and a representative of the licensee is required to appear. At the Show Cause Hearing, the licensee will need to “show cause” as to why the liquor license should not be suspended or revoked.

The telephone number is 303-441-3020. You will also need to provide proof of training within 2 months of hire for all employees that are involved in the sale or service of alcohol.

If you are found to have committed a violation, this schedule will be used as a guideline, at the discretion of the BLA, to impose your penalty.

If you decide to petition the Beverage Licensing Authority to pay a fine in lieu, you must bring to the hearing your books and records for the period of the last 90 days of your overall sales totaled and your alcohol sales totaled for that period. The fine amount shall be not less than $200 or more than $5,000. The Beverage Licensing Authority may, in its sole discretion, grant the petition to pay a fine, instead of a suspension. They will consider these requests on a case-by-case basis but do not have to grant them. Per state law and local rules, you will be required to display a poster for the duration of all suspension days. Failure to serve your suspension, post during your suspension, or abide by any additional local conditions directed by the Beverage Licensing Authority will result in an additional notice of show cause for violation.

For example, if a licensee was “convicted” of their first violation at a March 1, 2001 hearing and had ten days held in abeyance for one year and then they were cited on February 1, 2002, that would be considered a second violation within a year. The licensee would automatically have to serve the ten days held in abeyance from the first violation, plus their new suspension days determined by the Authority. If however, the licensee were cited on March 9, 2002, then it would not be considered a second violation within a year.

The purpose of this regulation is to establish procedures for a licensee seeking to make material or substantial alterations to the licensed premises, and provide factors the licensing authority must consider when evaluating such alterations for approval or rejection. A. After issuance of a license, the licensee shall make no physical change, alteration or modification of the licensed premises that materially or substantially alters the licensed premises or the usage of the licensed premises from the latest approved plans and specifications on file with the state and local licensing authorities without application to, and the approval of, the respective licensing authorities.

Any increase or decrease in the total size or capacity of the licensed premises. 2.

Any material change in the interior of the premises that would affect the basic character of the premises or the physical structure detailed in the latest approved plans and specifications on file with the state and local licensing authorities. However, the following types of modifications will not require prior approval, even if a local building permit is required: painting and redecorating of premises; the installation or replacement of electric fixtures or equipment, plumbing, refrigeration, air conditioning or heating fixtures and equipment; the lowering of ceilings; the installation and replacement of floor coverings; the replacement of furniture and equipment; and any non- structural remodeling where the remodel does not expand or reduce the existing area designed for the display or sale of alcohol beverage products. 6. The destruction or demolition, and subsequent reconstruction, of a building that contained the retailer’s licensed premises shall require the filing of new building plans with the local licensing authority, or in the case of manufacturers and wholesalers, with the state licensing authority. However, reconstruction shall not require an application to modify the premises unless the proposed plan for the newly-constructed premises materially or substantially alters the licensed premises or the usage of the licensed premises from the plans and specifications detailed in the latest approved plans and specifications on file with the state and local licensing authorities. 7. Nothing herein shall prohibit a licensee from modifying its licensed premises to include in the licensed premises a public thoroughfare, if the following conditions are met: a.
