How may liquor be served to customers in licensed premises?

In licensed premises, liquor may only be served to customers by employees of the licensee. This requirement is in place to ensure that those serving alcohol are adequately trained and knowledgeable about responsible alcohol service, as well as the laws and regulations governing the sale of alcohol. Employees are typically well-versed in handling various situations that may arise in a bar or restaurant setting, including checking IDs to verify the age of patrons, managing intoxicated guests, and adhering to safety protocols.

Qualified staff members, which may include employees, are trained to recognize the signs of intoxication and understand the legal obligations tied to alcohol service. Additionally, having employees serve liquor helps to maintain accountability for the establishment since they are employed by the licensee and are subject to the same rules and regulations. This ultimately helps to promote responsible serving practices within the venue.
