The licensee shall receive a refund for the license voluntarily cancelled as required by K.A.R. 14-21-7.

(b) If a drinking establishment fails an audit conducted by the director or the secretary to establish that at least 30% of its gross receipts are derived from the sale of food, then that drinking establishment's license as a drinking establishment shall be canceled. The drinking establishment licensee shall have 10 days from the receipt of its notice of cancellation to make application to become a class B club. On the tenth day after receipt of notice of cancellation, the drinking establishment license will be canceled and the drinking establishment shall begin conducting business as a class B club pending the processing of the application for said class B club license. If the application for a class B club license is denied or if the applicant fails to process its application within 30 days, then the applicant shall discontinue operations under the club and drinking establishment act and surrender its license to the director.
