TIPS - Training Intervention Procedures

Would you like to...

• Receive discounts on your liquor liability insurance?
• Prevent liquor law violations and fines?
• Protect your establishment against multi-million dollar lawsuits?
• Increase sales through the responsible service of alcohol?
• Provide better customer service while enhancing public relations?

What would you do if...

• An intoxicated spectator is offending other patrons?
• A patron leaves happy hour too drunk to drive but refuses a cab?
• A customer attempts to purchase alcohol with a fake ID?
• A private party host tells your staff to serve everyone - regardless of age?

Tips is the leading national server-training program. A major number of insurance carriers now require their liquor liability customers to have TIPs training as a condition their liability coverage. An establishment serving alcoholic beverages also stands a better chance of prevailing in a legal defense resulting from a dram shop related lawsuit. TIPs prepare you and your staff to deal with difficult situations.
