      <image:title>Blog - Christmas Compliance Checklist for Hospitality Employers: Get Sorted Before the New Year - 5. Keep Your Manager’s Register Updated &amp; Notify Your Local Council of Staff Changes</image:title>
      <image:caption>The lead-up to summer often brings staffing changes — new team members coming in, others moving on. This makes it essential to maintain an accurate Manager’s Register and communicate updates to your local council or District Licensing Committee (DLC). Make sure you: Add any new certified Duty Managers to your register Remove Duty Managers who have left your workplace Keep the register easily accessible for inspections! Remember you must notify your local council/DLC whenever: A new certified Duty Manager starts A Duty Manager leaves A Duty Manager renews or updates their certificate This is one of the most commonly overlooked compliance obligations — especially over summer when staffing shifts happen quickly. Staying on top of these updates protects your licence and helps avoid unnecessary breaches.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Get Qualified to Supercharge your Career in Hospitality! - If you’re already working in hospo and thinking about your next move, getting certified as a bar manager could be one of the smartest career decisions you make. Gaining your LCQ not only opens doors to more senior roles, but it also shows employers that you’re serious about compliance, safety, and leadership , all qualities that are in high demand across New Zealand’s bar and restaurant scene.   The hospitality industry is experiencing steady wage growth, especially for trained professionals. According to the 2025 Hospitality NZ Remuneration Report, the average hourly wage in the sector has risen to $27.84, with a 2.5% increase in the past year alone. As the industry continues to professionalise, certified bar managers are in a strong position to benefit from these wage increases , particularly in licensed venues where legal compliance and responsible service are top priorities.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Get Qualified to Supercharge your Career in Hospitality! - Where you work also makes a big difference. In high-demand regions like Queenstown, Central Auckland and the Southern Lakes district, wages for bar managers and senior hospitality roles are reliably higher than the national average. These areas rely heavily on tourism and need reliable, qualified staff to lead busy venues ,especially during peak seasons. Having your bar manager’s certificate makes you a more competitive applicant for these roles and helps you stand out from the crowd.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Whether you're aiming to move up where you are or looking to relocate for a better opportunity, certification is a practical step toward higher pay and greater responsibility. If you're ready to take the next step in your hospitality career, now is the perfect time to get certified and set yourself up for long-term success.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Tales from the Licensing Crypt: The Curse of the Forgotten Manager - The Tauranga locals said the tavern was cursed.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Perched on the edge of a quiet bay, it seemed like any other neighbourhood pub neon lights flickering, pool tables clacking, and cheap pints flowing. But behind the bar, something darker was brewing… a chilling disregard for the rules of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act. One night, a shadowy figure strolled in young, too young and with no questions asked, was handed a drink. The music played on, but the ghosts of consequences stirred.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Tales from the Licensing Crypt: The Curse of the Forgotten Manager - It didn’t happen just once. A year passed… and it happened again. A second underage sale, another forgotten ID check. And worse ,whispers began to circulate that on several nights, no certified duty manager was even on site. That’s when the inspectors arrived. Cloaked not in black robes, but high-vis vests and clipboards. What they found confirmed the rumours: multiple breaches, untrained staff, and the unmistakable scent of negligence.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Tales from the Licensing Crypt: The Curse of the Forgotten Manager</image:title>
      <image:caption>The sentence came swiftly. In the cold, clinical halls of the Alcohol Regulatory and Licensing Authority, the hammer fell. With immediate effect, the tavern's licence was stripped, and the adjoining bottle store lost its right to sell as well. For the owners, it was a death knell. The once-bustling venue was boarded up, and locals say the jukebox hasn’t played since. Some swear they still hear the clinking of ghostly pint glasses on quiet nights.   Let this be a warning to those who dabble in licensed premises without respect for the law. The Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act is no dusty relic, it’s a living force, and when broken, it bites back. So this Halloween, make sure your bar or bottle store isn’t the next tale told from the crypt. Stay trained. Stay compliant. Or risk becoming… the next cautionary legend.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Standard Drink Sizes - In New Zealand, the standard drink sizes are defined by the Ministry of Health as follows:</image:title>
      <image:caption>1.     Beer - A standard beer is 330ml, which contains 1.3 standard drinks. However, many bars and restaurants serve larger portions, such as a pint (568ml) which contains 2.3 standard drinks. 2.     Wine - A standard glass of wine is 100ml, which contains 1 standard drink. However, a typical restaurant pour of wine is 150ml, which contains 1.5 standard drinks, and many people consume larger glasses or multiple glasses. 3.     Spirits - A standard serve of spirits is 30ml, which contains 1 standard drink. However, many bars and restaurants serve larger measures of spirits, such as 50ml, which contain 1.7 standard drinks. It's important to note that these are only guidelines, and the actual alcohol content of a drink can vary depending on the brand and strength of the alcohol, as well as the size of the pour. It's always a good idea to be aware of the alcohol content of the drinks you are supplying to customers and to encourage drink responsible drinking behaviours.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Supplying Food in Licensed Club Premises</image:title>
      <image:caption>1.     Food must be available - Licensees are required to ensure that food is available for purchase at all times that alcohol is being sold or supplied on the premises. 2.     Types of food - The food supplied must be substantial enough to be considered a meal and must be of a type that is suitable to be eaten on the premises. 3.     Hygiene standards - The food must be prepared and handled in accordance with good hygiene practices and must meet all relevant food safety standards. 4.     Display of food - The food must be displayed in a way that is clear and easily accessible to patrons. 5.     Advertising of food - Any advertising or promotion of the supply of food must not imply that the consumption of alcohol is the primary purpose of the premises. 6.     Allergen information - Licensees are required to provide information about allergens in the food they supply if it is requested by a patron. Overall, the rules around supplying food on licensed premises are designed to ensure that patrons have access to food that is substantial and suitable for consumption alongside alcohol, and that the food is prepared and handled in a safe and hygienic manner</image:caption>
