If you own a business or manage a business or work at a business that sells alcohol, this video is for you! This channel is perfect for future and current ABC licensees. Each week, we publish a new video discussing different license types, compliance, regulations and trainings available for your business. Being compliant will save you money (and in some cases, even a criminal record) \u2013 which is the whole purpose of this consulting business \u2013 to keep you compliant, save you money and educate you about the ABC regulations in the state of Virginia. Be sure to subscribe and don\u2019t forget to click the BELL notification so that you are notified, via email, of any new videos. Comment below about where your business is. Are you in Virginia? Another state? I work all over the state of Virginia and perhaps I know you or your business. Hopefully you\u2019ll find this video informative \u2013 it will answer the questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>What is an ABC Manager?<\/p><p>What is your role?<\/p><p>How do you qualify to be an ABC Manager?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The role is created by ABC Consulting. They require that an ABC Manager be on staff (or the licensee) while alcohol is being served. The person named should be people that work there during the hours that alcohol is being served. The ABC Manager also needs to <strong>know <\/strong>that they are the acting ABC Manager. This may sound silly, but if an agent investigator comes in and does a spot check inspection, they\u2019ll need to speak with an ABC Manager. That is the ABC Manager\u2019s time to step up and shine. Hopefully, the ABC Manager steps forward and is prepared for the moment. If the ABC Agent asks for an ABC Manager and no one steps up, the agent will walk over to the posted license and read a name on the list. Hopefully that employee is there &#8212; but that means that an employee in the room will raise their hand, saying \u201cThat\u2019s me!\u201d Not stepping forward to begin with, isn\u2019t going to go so well for the inspection \u2013 please make sure that your ABC Manager KNOWS that they are an ABC Manager.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most times, when employees are faced with an inspection, they don\u2019t want to raise their hand, because they aren\u2019t trained to deal with the ABC Authority. They lack confidence to answer questions appropriately and so they shy away from raising their hand. I understand their intimidation. ABC Authority inspection agents are sworn police officers and they act very efficient and to the point. They just want to get your inspection over and get on with their day. They typically are not there to arrest anyone or get any one in trouble, so don\u2019t be intimidated. The agent will ask for certain things \u2013 watch <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uXwgHMEluE4\">this video<\/a> to learn how to manage an inspection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a myth that you cannot work at a place that serves alcohol if you are convicted of a felony or convicted of a DUI \u2013 but that isn&#8217;t true. But&#8230;you DO have to notify ABC Authority of the convictions and ask for special permission. Unfortunately, many people fail to ask for permission and end up getting fines or losing their license, because of that omission. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are your requirements, as an ABC Manager:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>ABC Manager must not have a DUI conviction (without special permission)<\/li><li>ABC Manager must not have a felony conviction (without special permission)<\/li><li>List the ABC Manager\u2019s names in a 1\u201d font, on the license<\/li><li>List names with First and Last Names, on the license<\/li><li>ABC Manager must be able to speak and read the English language<\/li><li>ABC Manager must be 21 years or older<\/li><li><strong>The most important requirement is that an ABC Manager MUST be in the building, at all times that alcohol is being served.<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Please make sure that all ABC Managers have taken our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toastalcohol.com\/\">T.O.A.S.T VA\u00ae training course<\/a> \u2013 it only costs $29.95, is available immediately online, and it is self-paced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope you find these videos educational, informative and interesting. We are continually updating our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/ABCConsultingAlcoholLicensingTraining\/videos\">YouTube channel<\/a> with new regulations, types of license types and the ins and outs of staying compliant.
