• Conditions as per Operating Schedule

   

  The premises licence holder, DPS, management and staff will constantly assess any risks to the licensing objectives. They

  will work in partnership with the authorities in this respect. The staff will be properly authorised, trained, equipped and

  motivated in this task. This commitment includes:

  • A written notice of ‘authority’ record for all staff who ‘sell’ alcohol

  • Adequate training for staff and records kept for inspection

  • Contact details of the Designated Premises Supervisor available to staff and the authorities

  • There will be no access to these licensed premises by members of the public.

  • The premises shall operate to fulfil online orders only.

  process of operation, so that at any time, if customers are unable to prove they are 18, then the supply of alcohol will be

  refused at the point of any ordering procedure or facility, on collection and also on delivery,

  • Where the premises licence holder / designated premises supervisor instructs third party couriers to deliver any items of

  alcohol previously ordered, every such delivery company must adopt a ‘Challenge 25 policy’, so that if on request,

  safety licensing objective

  from harm there will be a policy of:

  • A Challenge 25 policy for alcohol sales

  • At the time the order is placed a declaration will be required from the person placing the order that the person is over 18

  years of age.

  statement unless the business calls the consumer to provide this information verbally before the order is accepted.
