Why Train Your Staff on Virginia Responsible Alcohol Sales and Service?
Establishments that sell alcohol have a legal obligation to provide responsible beverage sales and service. Should an employee make a mistake, showing proof of state-approved training completion can benefit your company. Although training is not mandatory in Virginia, their code allows retail licensees who violate the law to potentially receive reduced penalties if they demonstrate their employee training was certified by Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control.
