Google has approved the Beve Q app for booking liquor online. The app can be downloaded from the Play Store from tomorrow or day after tomorrow onwards. Google has announced that Apple has granted the approval for the long-awaited app. With the approval of Apple, the liquor distribution in the state will begin this week. Excise Minister TP Ramakrishnan is all set to have discussions with the excise commissioner and Bevco managing director today. The precise information about the date of beginning the liquor sales in the state, is expected to come out at the end of the discussion.
With the technical clearance, two more hurdles remain befor the app. A loading test will be performed to prevent app crash upon the entry of several people at the same time. Security checks are also conducted to prevent hacking. The makers have announced that both of these can be done at the same time. The app functions based on the user’s zip code, while the e-ticket received will be informed at the liquor bar. Customers can then buy alcohol on the arrival of their order. The QR code of the e-ticket will be scanned and verified in liquor stores. A person can get a maximum of three liters of alcohol. Alcohol is only given once in four days. And so on. Distribution will be in full compliance with the Covid regulations.
