2. Controlling juveniles;

  • We will not permit juveniles (under the age of 18) to enter the premises unless accompanied with an adult.

3. Resolving complaints from customers and residents;

  • Employees will be asked to observe the chain of command in reporting all complaints from customers and residents alike. Once management has been alerted, we will take steps to resolve the complaint to the complainant’s satisfaction, but in accordance with the application regulations which apply to Liquor Licence or By Laws.

4. Patron care (harm minimisation strategies which encourage the availability of food, non-alcoholic products, staff training, effective transport of patrols and discourage disorderly behaviour);

  • We stock and encourage the sale of a full range of non-alcoholic beverages.
