California Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) Training: Why Choose Ace Food Handler?

If you’re in the hospitality industry in California, you’re likely familiar with the importance of responsible beverage service. Whether you work in a restaurant, bar, hotel, or tasting room, ensuring that alcohol is served responsibly is crucial for both public safety and legal compliance. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the world of California RBS training and explore why Ace Food Handler is your go-to choice for this essential certification.

Understanding California RBS Training

What Is RBS?

Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) training is designed to educate individuals who serve alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption. Its primary goal is to equip servers with the necessary skills to responsibly serve alcohol and mitigate alcohol-related harm within California communities.

The Birth of AB 1221

In 2017, Assembly Bill 1221 established the Responsible Beverage Service Training Act. This legislation mandated the creation of the Responsible Beverage Service Training Program by the Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC). The program aims to educate servers and their managers about the dangers of serving alcohol to minors and over-serving patrons. The ultimate objective is to reduce alcohol-related harm in local communities.

Who Needs RBS Training?

Starting from July 1, 2021, approximately 1,000,000 on-premises alcohol servers, their managers, and licensees fall under the new training requirement. If you work in a place where alcoholic drinks are served and consumed within the licensed premises (think restaurants, bars, fast-casual dining, tasting rooms, hotels, and stadiums), you need to complete RBS training.
