about us

Sandra Olaya, the founder of Team C.O.L. Group, saw a pressing need for better representation for clients navigating the complex process of obtaining a New York State liquor license. Recognizing that this process did not necessitate an attorney, Sandra leveraged her consulting expertise to fill this gap.

Thirteen years ago, Sandra started with a single client who placed their trust in her capabilities. Through persistent visits to the New York State Liquor Authority (NYSLA) and dedicated research, Sandra mastered the intricacies of the licensing process. Her journey has been filled with continuous learning and adaptation, which she describes as both fun and fascinating.

Sandra’s passion for the hospitality industry has been the driving force behind her commitment to helping clients succeed. Over the years, Team C.O.L. Group has grown, becoming a trusted partner for many in the industry. Sandra’s hands-on approach and deep understanding of the NYS liquor licensing process have made her a valuable ally for those looking to navigate this challenging terrain.

Nowadays, Sandra and her team primarily operate in the NYC area but are committed to serving clients beyond this territory as well.
