As of today, Saskatchewan restaurants which also hold a liquor permit, will now be able to sell alcohol with their takeout and delivery orders.

The Government of Saskatchewan recently made regulatory changes allowing restaurants to sell alcohol on a take out and delivery basis.

This means the province’s 900 liquor permitted restaurants will be able to provide delivery of food/alcohol orders without obtaining a separate home delivery permit. This includes beer, wine, mixed cocktails and growlers.

Restaurants can sell alcohol with a food order for take out or delivery but cannot operate as full scale liquor retailers.

As well, the province’s approximately 620 Retail Store Permittees will have the ability to provide home delivery of alcohol without having to apply and pay for a separate home delivery permit.

Minister Responsible for Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority says the pandemic hit the service industry particularly hard. Jim Reiter says “These regulatory changes will provide additional service options for liquor-permitted restaurants and retailers to consider.”
