A premises where alcohol is sold (under a Premises licence) must have a Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS). It is the duty of the DPS to supervise alcohol sales.
A DPS can name other people who can sell alcohol under the authority of their own Personal licence.
The DPS does not always have to be the Premises licence holder, although this may sometimes be the case.
The DPS should be a key point of contact for the premises at all times. This is so licensing authorities, police or fire services can get in touch with them.
