About the Program
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.
San Diego is where the American craft beer revolution took root — and its hospitality market reflects that heritage. Today, over 160 craft breweries and hundreds of bars, rooftop lounges, and beach clubs make San Diego one of the most exciting places in the country to be a bartender.
