  • Alcohol/tobacco sales compliance — Train staff in Challenge 25 procedures, require ID for age-restricted products, and display statutory signage at points of sale. Keep refusals logbooks, carry out mystery shopper checks, and review policies quarterly for compliance.
  • Food hygiene and cross-contamination — Segregate raw and ready-to-eat foods, colour-code utensils and containers, and sanitise prep zones after each use. Train all staff in HACCP, enforce regular handwashing, and keep digital or paper logs of fridge/freezer checks daily.
