Melt Charged With Liquor Law Violation

The owners of Melt restaurant in The Promenade Shops at Saucon Valley have been charged with a liquor law violation, according to a press release from the Pennsylvania Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement's Allentown office.

According to the Sept. 10 release, Melt Restaurant Group LLC, 2805 Center Valley Parkway, Center Valley, failed to have a manager complete a required training program within a 180-day period.

The Responsible Alcohol Management Program (RAMP) "was created by the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board to help licensees and their employees to serve alcohol responsibly," according to the PLCB website.

If the restaurant owners are found guilty of the violation, "an administrative law judge...has the authority to impose penalties ranging from $50-$1,000 for minor offenses and up to $5,000 for more serious offenses," the release said. "In addition, the ALJ can impose a license suspension or revocation of the license based on the severity of the charge."

Another punitive option is mandated training about liquor licensee requirements in Pennsylvania, the release indicated.

The Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement listed the dates of the alleged violation as being March 31 through April 30, 2013.
