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.

Nashville has undergone a staggering transformation. Lower Broadway's honky tonks pour drinks around the clock for millions of visitors. The Gulch and Midtown have developed a serious craft cocktail scene. And the influx of corporate relocations — Oracle, Amazon, AllianceBernstein — has created a new class of high-end hospitality venues.
