Policy, Responsible Service of Alcohol Overview Introduction
This document covers the policy which must be adopted by staff serving alcohol
Target Audience
Bar staff; staff allowing entry to the club
Purpose
Responsible serving of alcohol is vital for legal purposes, health and community reasons. Our society is now less tolerant of their responsible use of alcohol that leads to drunkenness, drink driving and underage drinking. All members of Staff of this Club are trained in the Responsible Service of Alcohol
Guidelines Introduction
These guidelines must be followed by club staff.
Underage drinkers
We will not knowingly serve alcohol to underage patrons. Proof of age will be asked for if in doubt
Membership requirements
If we are unsure if a patron is a Member, we will ask to see their Membership card or Temporary Members ticket. We will not serve anyone without proof.
Intoxicated persons
Persons entering these premises, who are deemed to be intoxicated will be politely refused entry. We do not accept or allow indecent, violent or quarrelsome behaviour. Sale of alcohol will be politely refused to those patrons deemed to be intoxicated.
Drinking patterns
We do not promote erratic drinking patterns which may include: Ordering multiple samples Mixing a wide range of drink types Ordering “double-triple” shots Ordering large samples Drinking quickly
Driving and drinking
We support and actively promote initiatives to minimise drink driving in order to safeguard the wellbeing of our patrons.
Evicting patrons
Anyone deemed by management to be outside these guidelines will be asked to leave the premises quickly and quietly. Police may be called for assistance if patron(s) in question refuse to leave.
Consequences
Remember: The person you allow to drive a vehicle under the influence of alcohol could well be the person who causes the next fatality.
