In both the USA and Brazil, 'off-premises' is a formal business and legal term commonly used in the hospitality, retail, and service industries. It gained particular prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic when many restaurants expanded takeout and delivery services. In Brazil, the term is also frequently used in regulatory contexts regarding alcohol sales, where establishments are classified as either 'on-premises' (bars, restaurants) or 'off-premises' (liquor stores, supermarkets) for taxation and licensing purposes.
