You may have never thought to take our seller/server training, but did you know that every time a law or regulation changes, so does our training? Your taking the course should be done, annually, especially if you have been charged by an agent. As a business in the state of Virginia, you’d be interested to know that one of the services that ABC Consulting offers is the Alcohol Seller and Server Training (and that it only costs $29.95!). Our training is the MOST COMPREHENSIVE Alcohol Seller/Server Training available, in Virginia! We offer three courses (online and self-paced):
- T.O.A.S.T. VA®
- BREW VA™
- WINE VA™
Our courses started development in 2011 (by retired Virginia ABC Special Agents) discovering a need for in-depth and comprehensive alcohol seller/server training. Other national training brands offer generic courses with a focus on: “selling to minors,” “selling to intoxicated patrons,” etc. But TOAST Academy (T.O.A.S.T. VA®, BREW VA™, WINE VA™) courses not only cover these concepts, but also go further in-depth to explore other pertinent Virginia Alcohol Rules and Regulations that can affect you, as an employee, and businesses, and as an employer. And every time a law or regulation changes, so does our training.
Our training includes:
- Passing ABC Inspections
- Why ABC Would Be Undercover, in Your Business
- Mixed Beverage Stamps
- Happy Hour Regulations
- Social Media Advertising
- Discounting Alcohol
- Bottle Service
- All-You-Can-Drink
- Yearly MBAR Reporting for Mixed Beverage Restaurants
- Reviewing Fake IDs
- We review REAL fake IDs,
- Learn ID-checking techniques
- Learn about accepted valid IDs
- Advice from Former Virginia ABC Agents
TOAST Academy will continue to add to our service offerings, as laws and regulations are very specific to day spas, retailers, restaurants, breweries, wineries. And regulations change, continuously. We recommend that your employees get trained, annually. Refreshers are important for us all, especially when we are familiar with a topic and think we know it all. We miss the changes. We become TOO familiar.
Our online courses are available to purchase and start, right now! But, if you’d rather have a consultant come in and train at your restaurant in person, that is part of our consulting package. Please fill out our contact form, here, and we’ll make that happen (in addition to or instead of!).
