Details
Restaurant and downtown-partnership speakers said the ban hurt competitiveness and that chains had to build Naperville-only menus. The motion waived first reading and kept a posted drink price schedule, a ban on serving two or more drinks at once to one person (except wine by the bottle or carafe) and a discount cap of 50% of the scheduled price. Members noted most restaurants would offer specials only Monday to Thursday afternoons.
