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.
Austin's bar market has gone through a remarkable transformation. What was once a college-bar town is now home to nationally recognized craft cocktail programs, the highest concentration of live music venues in America, and a tech-boom influx of high-earning professionals who demand quality drinks.
