ZBA Hearing - December 14, 2022

And are you aware that they operate in excess of 60 hours per week currently?

I'm not aware of the hours of each restaurant.

I want to make sure, Mr. Chairman, is the doctor under oath?

Was he sworn in?

Yes.

Okay, very good.

Just want to make sure of that.

Doctor, are you aware if the operators of this, of Royal, engaged a restaurant designer to see if they could accommodate both sit down and take out service from the front of the building?

I'm not aware whether they have or not.

Are you aware that the Fulton Street congestion that we will be presenting later on in this hearing existed while the existing window was in operation?

Were you aware of that?

I'm not aware of the timing of the operation of the window or the dates of the exhibits.

And finally, how much are you being paid for your testimony today, sir?

I'm being paid $300 per hour.

Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, we have stated and they stated on the record that they do not serve food out of the window.

stated and they stated on the record that they do not serve food.

And that is what they're right. They serve food out of the rear door, which is also a prohibition on the proviso.

First of all, there's no proviso with respect to the rear door.

There's a proviso. At this point, at this point, at this point, we're talking about the window, whether the window is the right place, whether that's right or not.

Mr. Chair, the proviso also indicates that the door should only be used for a certain purpose, and the purpose they're using it for is outside of the scope.

That's an incorrect statement.
