INFORMATION ABOUT THE APPLICATION
Popeyes is aware of the City Centre CIA and has read both the Statement of Licensing Policy 2024- 2029 and the Plymouth Cumulative Impact Assessment 2022-2025.
These Proposed conditions have been designed to promote the Licensing Objectives and to minimise any cumulative impact considerations.
Popeyes is a seated restaurant and although it does not sell or serve alcohol, it takes operational concerns very seriously. Popeyes is aware of the potential stress on the Plymouth City Centre Area and will do everything to ensure that staff are adequately trained to run a safe, ordered and familyfriendly restaurant.
Popeyes differs from other competitors in that they operate with a higher than usual staff/manager to customer ratio, so there are always managers on the floor making sure that the customer experience is a good one. They also operate 'Staff Safe' with immediate connection to the Police and the ability for Police to access their CCTV systems.
Popeyes has extensive experience of operating late in CIAs (such as Nottingham, Manchester, Cardiff, Brighton etc) and does so without incident.
