ServSafe Responsible Vendor / Vending Compliance

Several states (e.g. California, Illinois, Georgia, Florida) operate Responsible Vendor Programs that provide reduced liability to alcohol retailers whose employees complete approved training. ServSafe and TIPS are approved providers in most RVP states. The course covers state-specific liquor law, age-verification procedures, and the operational standards that the regulatory authority expects of an approved vendor.
