No on-sale licensee may permit any person less than twenty-one years of age to sell, serve or dispense alcoholic beverage upon the licensed premises. However, an on-sale licensee may permit persons eighteen years old or older to sell and serve or dispense alcoholic beverages if less than fifty percent of the gross business transacted by that establishment is from the sale of alcoholic beverages and the licensee or an employee that is at least twenty-one years of age is on the premises when the alcoholic beverage is sold or dispensed. For the purposes of this section, the term to sell and serve alcoholic beverages means to take orders for alcoholic beverages and to deliver alcoholic beverages to customers as a normal adjunct of waiting tables. The term does not include tending bar or mixing alcoholic beverages.
