ANNEX 2 - CONDITIONS CONSISTENT WITH THE OPERATING SCHEDULE
General
The store is a franchise of the worldwide Domino’s home delivery pizza chain. Domino’s has been in business for more than 40 years and during that time, has developed a system of business which primarily involves a home delivery services. Whilst it is possible to collect our products from the store, the vast majority of our business is delivering pizzas and other products we sell, to people’s homes. We are governed by the rigorous standards set out in the Domino’s Franchise Agreement and these relate to all aspects of operating the business, from the preparation of ingredients right through to the manner in which the product is delivered to our customers. We are mindful of our obligations to our staff, our customers, and others (e.g. local residents) who may be affected by the operation of our business. Our store is adequately staffed so as to allow the proper management of the premises and supervision of those who visit them. The Domino’s system does not allow the sale of alcohol. Where customers visit the store, our pizzas are supplied to them in closed cardboard boxes and the nature and size of the product is conducive to being taken home for consumption, rather than being eaten whilst walking along.
The prevention of crime and disorder
We will actively co-operate with the local police to ensure that we are made aware of particular problems which affect the area and which may potentially affect our store.
We will not countenance the use or supply of illegal drugs and our staff will inform the police immediately of any such suspected activity on or in the vicinity of the store.
Our employment policies are designed to ensure we recruit professional and reputable staff.
We do not use or supply glassware
A CCTV system is installed, maintained and used on the premises.
Public safety
The premises comply with all requisite health and safety legislation.
We carry out regular health and safety risk assessments and are required to do so under the terms of our Franchise Agreement.
In the most unlikely event that a greater number of people congregate in the premises than is conducive to public safety, we will not hesitate to ask people to leave the store and we will always encourage them to take advantage of our home delivery service, which is the primary way in which we serve our customers.
The prevention of public nuisance
Our doors and windows will be kept closed at night to prevent transmission of noise.
Our stores have very few customers who visit to buy our product to take away, but those who do visit will be asked to leave the premises quietly and with due consideration for our neighbours.
Music will not be played in the premises.
Our delivery drivers are instructed to enter and leave their vehicles quietly and considerately, not to leave engines running, to park considerately, and at all times to have in mind our neighbours (particularly residential occupiers).
We would have no hesitation in banning people who visit the store and regularly leave the premises in a noisy fashion.
Our equipment is properly sound insulated and operated strictly in accordance with manufacturers’ requirements, guide lines and tolerances.
All our air extraction system complies with Building Regulations requirements and is designed to ensure that there is no escape of cooking smells to neighbouring premises.
The protection of children from harm
Our store is not licensed for the sale of alcohol.
Because of the nature of the licence for which we are applying and the nature of our business generally, it is most unlikely that a child unaccompanied by an adult would visit our store during the hours for which we are licensed.
