New alcohol-license application and business registration appear at 1535 Franklin St
Rule Changes San Francisco, CA localThe state record is an application, not an issued license, at an address already listed as Pistachio Kitchen.
Overview
San Francisco records now show a business registration and a California alcohol-license application at 1535 Franklin St, where Pistachio Kitchen Restaurant & Espresso Bar is listed. The state record says the type 41 license is applied for, not issued.
The records do not show a new operator, a change in service, or final approval. They are new entries at an address with an existing food business.
Why it matters
The records show how permit filings can accumulate at an existing restaurant address without confirming a new operator or a change in service.
