  Operating Schedule

   

  General - all four licensing objectives

  The restaurant will seat no more than 40 at any one time and at maximum capacity at least 4 members of staff will be present to ensure licensing objectives are fulfilled.  We intend to work alongside other local businesses to prevent crime and public nuisance.  As Chef I will be on the premises at all times during which alcohol is being sold or supplied to customers except in case of an emergency.

   

  The prevention of crime and disorder

  It is our intention to install an alarm at the property in the near future.  Persons will be present at the property 24/7 except in the case of holidays.  We will network with other business owners in attempt to reduce crime and disorder.

  Alcohol willn ot be sold to customers who are drunk.

   

  Public safety

  We have already met with a Fire Officer and discussed safety measures.  Emergency lighting is in place and a full Fire Risk Assessment has been carried out for the premises and implemented.  Staff will be trained to deal with emergencies and John Alder-Connor is a certified first aider and holds a hygiene certificate.

   

  The prevention of public nuisance

  We do not anticipate public nuisance to be a problem.  Alcohol will only be served with food and diners will be staggered throughout an evening and depart at different times.  Music will be low key and unamplified as played as background noise only.  If problems do occur members of staff will be trained accordingly to handle situations.

   

   

  The protection of children from harm

  Children will only be permitted accompanied by an adult and no children under the age of 14 will be allowed to be in the restaurant after 21.30hrs.  Any person who looks or appears to be under the age of 21 will be asked for identification to prove they are over 18.  The following will be accepted: UK photo driving licence, passport or PASS card.
