Designated Premises Supervisor.
Run the licence, run the venue.
The Designated Premises Supervisor runs the licence itself: the single named person responsible for every alcohol sale a venue makes. It is the role that turns bar experience into venue leadership, and the licence conditions, the authorities and the team all run through you. A personal licence plus the confidence of your operator is the route; most DPSs are appointed within a year or two of qualifying.
