MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. – The Myrtle Beach Area Hospitality Association and the National Restaurant Association’s Kevin Scott will train Myrtle Beach area businesses on how to become a certified ServSafe Alcohol Trainer for responsible alcohol service.
The ServSafe Alcohol “Train the Trainer” course will provide employees and businesses with the necessary responsible alcohol service credentials to protect their customers, individual business and community as a whole.
Created by our national partner the National Restaurant Association, this training addresses today's biggest challenges, including checking IDs, alcohol laws, responsibility and determining intoxication.
Additionally this class gives participants the opportunity to become an instructor and bring this knowledge to their respective business. Graduates of this course will be able to provide responsible alcohol service certifications to current and future employees having a far reaching impact within the Grand Strand hospitality industry.
“We felt it was important that MBAHA along with our national partner NRA took a proactive stance on encouraging businesses to participate in responsible alcohol training such as ServSafe,” said Stephen Greene, MBAHA President &CEO. “While it is not required by law, the best thing bars and restaurants can do is train their employees on what to do concerning proper alcohol service. It is an issue that touches our businesses, customers and the Grand Strand community as a whole."
The ServSafe Alcohol “Train the Trainer” course will be held Thursday, February 23rd from 12:30-5:00 p.m. at the Sheraton Myrtle Beach Convention Center Hotel, meeting room 107, Myrtle Beach.
As a tourism advocate, the association serves to promote the hospitality industry’s needs, ensure a healthy tourism economy and educate its membership and the public about industry issues. Currently 75,000 people’s jobs in our community are directly affected by the success or failure of the hospitality industry. Any way you slice it we are the engine that drives the Grand Strand economy.
