Bavarian Bar and Grill opened for business in November 2021. During its first two months of operation, the restaurant sold gift cards in various amounts totaling $5,800, mostly as Christmas presents. They are redeemable for meals within two years of the purchase date, although experience within the industry indicates that 70% of gift cards are redeemed within one year. Gift cards totaling $1,600 were presented for redemption during 2021 for meals having a total price of $2,000. The sales tax rate on restaurant sales is 4%, assessed at the time meals (not gift cards) are purchased. Sales taxes will be remitted in January.
