Hi! I’m no grammar expert, after all Georgia is probably at the same quality education that Alabama does, but I don’t think "premise," is singular for "premises." A workload is not "on premise," it’s either "on prem," or "on premises."

Hi ceenglan,
Yes, the interwebs are awash in debate over the proper terms. According to the grammar police, "on-premises" is the proper term but I guess "on-premise" has been conscripted by many many others the same way that "ya’ll" has been to become common parlance. I personally use them interchangeably without guilt or consternation as I’m a grammar rebel.
Ya’ll take care now.

I love y’all. I use it all the time. I started back in high school German for my 2nd person plural verb declensions, and have used it ever since.
