Meanwhile, Parekraf Agency Head Andhika Permata explained that his agency had carried out a joint field inspection with elements of DPPKUKM, DPMPTSP, and Satpol PP. Several violations were found which formed the basis for the recommendation to revoke the license.

The standard certificate of KBLI 56301 is an Indonesian Environmental Standard Classification that must be owned by a bar business operation, which is a business whose activities are serving alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and snacks to the public in their place of business.

Further investigation, they also violated several provisions related to the sale of alcoholic beverages where business actors only have a Retailer's Certificate (SKP) KBLI 47221 for alcoholic beverage retailers, where sales of alcoholic beverages are only allowed to be taken home and not to be drunk on the spot.

"While the results of the supervision in the field, they sell alcoholic beverages for drinking in places that legally should have a Direct Seller Certificate (SKPL) class B and C with PB-UMKU KBLI 56301," explained PPKUKM Agency Head Elisabeth Ratu Rante Allo.

"Seven outlets have SKP KBLI 47221 and the other five do not have the letter," he added.

The recommendations from the two services would be the basis for DPMPTSP to be submitted to the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM).
