LIQUOR LICENCING: CASE STUDY


The Crystal View Restaurant is a new and very busy restaurant and bar on Cronulla beach. The restaurant has gained an excellent reputation in the Sutherland Shire for the amazing food and cocktails that they market primarily through social media. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner from 12pm to late, Thursday - Sunday. Crystal View serves amazing modern Australian food with a shared menu concept. The venue does not sell alcohol for purchase (unopened), only served to customers whilst at the venue. The main group of clientele that visit regularly include male and females from 18-40 years of age.


The business has always had an issue retaining skilled staff due to poor management. Staff often feel as if they are underappreciated, leaving them with a lower care factor during their shifts, although they try their hardest. All staff have their RSA and were asked for a copy when they began their employment. However, no training has been provided on how these laws are put into practice within the venue and there has been no explanation of workplace procedures. Half the signage required for selling alcohol was missing or had been removed. On a very busy Saturday night, the restaurant was understaffed as usual and the manager had taken more bookings than they could handle. The Duty Manager called in sick and no other arrangements were made. There was also a large group of 16 that had come in for an 18th birthday at 7pm during peak period (pre-booked). Staff did not have time to check all guests ID’s before they had ordered drinks, and assumed because it was an 18th that everyone else was 18 also. A staff member also knew a few of the people belonging to this group and didn’t want to seem ‘uncool’ checking all of their ID’s and refusing to serve them when they were clearly intoxicated. Other staff members went about their own business looking after their sections as they were too busy to take notice.


By 8:30pm, most of the guests from the group were drunk and causing trouble to other guests. One of drunk guests stood up on the table and when asked to please get down because they were about to be escorted out by the manager, fell as she was wearing heels and knocked her head on the corner of another table. The girl was unconscious but still breathing, she had very clearly split her head open. Luckily, police patrolling the local area were first to come in and help, an ambulance was called by another staff member. After some investigation, the girl who had suffered injuries was in fact under 18 as well as 10 people in this group.
