About the Program
Why ServSafe® Alcohol?
Over the years, we have taught many responsible alcohol programs such as the TIPS Server Training Program and the Barcode program, but we feel the ServSafe Program by the National Restaurant Association is the best.
ServSafe Alcohol is a real-world preparation for any situation. Responsible alcohol service is an issue that touches your business, your customers and your community.
That's why the National Restaurant Association Education Foundation developed the ServSafe Alcohol Program to raise the bar in responsible alcohol service training and certification — today's real-world training solution.
New York City has more bars, restaurants, and nightlife venues than any other city in North America — over 10,000 licensed establishments, from dive bars in Brooklyn to $30-cocktail destinations in the West Village. Employers here have seen it all, and they only hire the best.
