Overview
Hospitality staff receive an LCQ credential from an approved training provider. Venues verify the credential before appointing duty managers or assigning alcohol service responsibilities.
Why it matters
LCQ checks are often manual and inconsistent. A Verifiable Credential makes verification instant, tamper-evident, and easier to audit.
Ecosystem roles
- Issuer: Approved training provider.
- Holder: Hospitality worker.
- Verifier: Venue, employer, or regulator.
Assurance and lifecycle
Credentials can be revoked if training is invalidated. Verifiers check issuer trust and credential status.
