One of the largest shifts resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic is the ability for on-premise venues to sell alcoholic beverages to-go.

To-go beverages have provided a revenue stream that has allowed many restaurants to stay in business throughout the pandemic and expand their brand beyond on-premise and into the homes of their consumers.
