The Operating Schedule, the heart of every UK premises licence, as an editable, fill-in-the-blanks template built from a real application.
This kit exists because my venue never opened. Everything was ready, the licence, the fit-out, the staff, the launch. Opening night was Good Friday 2020, and the country locked down that week. The doors never opened.
So I took the entire body of work I'd built to get a real UK late-night venue licensed and ready, and turned it into something you can use for yours. It's the paperwork I wish someone had handed me on day one. No jargon, no consultant's day rate, just the actual documents, ready to make your own.
It's where you tell the licensing authority exactly how you'll run the place. Get it right and the application glides through.
The full document, professionally written, in an editable Word file. Adapt it for any late-night venue.
Clear [placeholders] wherever your details go, so you always know what to fill in and where.
A short walkthrough so you understand what each section is doing and why it matters.
The Licence Kit wraps the Operating Schedule together with the Four Objectives Navigator, all your registers and logbooks, and the staff policies your team work from. Everything to get licensed and open the doors.
See the Licence Kit · £197Yes. It's written for any late-night licensed premises in England and Wales, nightclubs, bars, pubs, hotels, members' clubs. Anywhere the Licensing Act 2003 applies. You edit the details to fit your venue.
No, and it doesn't pretend to be. It's a set of professional-grade templates and plain-English guidance built from a real application. It gets you 90% of the way with confidence, then you check your own council's specific conditions before submitting.
Completely. The documents are editable Word files and the tools are editable spreadsheets. Change the wording, add your venue name, make it yours. It's yours to keep and reuse forever.
Because it's done once and shared. A licensing consultant can charge thousands to produce this kind of paperwork for a single venue. This is the same groundwork, ready for you to adapt, for the price of a decent night out.
