Health Communications, Inc. (HCI) is pleased to announce the release of eTIPS Off Premise and Delivery, a web-based training and certification program specifically designed for people who work in a place where alcohol delivery or takeout is available. This includes liquor, grocery, and convenience stores as well as bars and restaurants that offer alcohol delivery and/or pick-up services. In addition, the certification course provides health and safety best practices for both employers and employees.
“Relaxed restrictions have permitted restaurants to deliver alcohol in many jurisdictions. The vast majority of them want to make sure that alcohol doesn’t fall into the hands of a minor. The problem is they don’t always know how to ensure a legal sale, especially when they are using third-party services to deliver. Both the licensee and delivery personnel need to follow specific guidelines before the delivery and at the delivery site. This is why it is important to provide training,” said Adam Chafetz, HCI’s President & CEO.
An April investigation by the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) discovered that “third-party delivery services are routinely delivering alcoholic beverages to minors,” according to an advisory they posted last week.
