Opening a Restaurant in Las Vegas? Alcohol Awareness Training is Required

Published on by TAM of NevadaLeave a comment

Opening a restaurant in Las Vegas is exciting and fast-paced. Between the usual checklist items such as build-outs, menus, vendors, and hiring, it’s easy to overlook one critical requirement that can delay your opening or put your license at risk: Mandatory alcohol awareness training and TAM Cards® for your entire staff.

Here’s what every new restaurant owner in Las Vegas should know:

Alcohol awareness training is required by the state of Nevada for all employees who sell or serve alcohol. This includes:

  • Bartenders
  • Servers
  • Managers and supervisors
  • Anyone else involved in alcohol sales and service such as security guards and delivery drivers

Alcohol awareness training ensures your staff knows how to:

  • Check IDs correctly
  • Prevent service to minors and intoxicated guests
  • Handle difficult alcohol-related situations
  • Help protect your business from fines and citations

Without properly trained staff, your restaurant could face safety issues or costly fines. This is the last thing you want to worry about when you’re just opening your doors to welcome new customers.

Timing Is Everything With your Grand Opening

When you’re gearing up for opening day, the last thing you want is:

  • Employees scrambling to find individual alcohol awareness classes
  • Inconsistent training across your team
  • Issues scheduling staff because their training isn’t complete

That’s why it’s smart to handle alcohol awareness training early and all at once.

On-Site Training: One Team, One Class, Zero Hassle

To make things easy for new restaurants, TAM of Nevada can come directly to your location and train your entire staff on-site.

Benefits of on-site training include:

  • Training your whole team together, at the same time.
  • Less downtime and fewer scheduling headaches.
  • Assure that your staff is fully compliant and trained on the Techniques of Alcohol Management – the first choice for business owners across Nevada.

We offer this option for busy restaurant owners who need things done right the first time.

Set Your Restaurant Up for a Strong Start

We all know that Las Vegas is a competitive market, and first impressions matter. Proper TAM Card training doesn’t just check a legal box, it also helps protect your business, your liquor license, and your reputation from day one.

If your restaurant is opening soon, now is the perfect time to schedule training and cross one major requirement off your list.

Grand Prix is Coming to Las Vegas – Is Your Staff Prepared?

Published on by TAM of NevadaLeave a comment

It’s coming! Our great city will host the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix on November 16-18, 2023. Vendors and employees will need to be prepared. Has your staff met the necessary requirements to work this event?

You may be wondering, who on my staff will need a TAM Card?

  • Anyone selling or serving alcoholic beverages at a festival or special event, even if it is just for one weekend.
  • Anyone, working at any venue, who sells or serves alcohol to the public.
  • Security guards who work at those venues.
  • Clerks and cashiers at retail stores that sell sealed alcoholic beverages.

Alcohol awareness cards are required for anyone selling or serving alcoholic beverages at special events like the Grand Prix… and the TAM® Card is the number one choice of employers in Las Vegas.

Ensuring that your staff is properly trained on alcohol laws and safe beverage service will also reduce risk and liability for your business. Employees issued citations for serving alcohol to minors can also face fines. When an individual employee fails a compliance check, the business license department is notified which may mean problems when renewing licenses. Owners or managers of a business that fails compliance checks can also be issued a citation and could face the revocation of their business license. Additionally, establishments which violate statute provisions pertaining to alcohol awareness training are subject to administrative fines ranging from $500 to $5000. It’s not worth the risk. Choosing the most comprehensive alcohol education protects you and your employees, your customers, and your business.

The good news is that we make it easy for your staff to get TAM certified and obtain their alcohol awareness cards. Remind them to visit www.tamnevada.com to register and complete their training before this event.

With enforcement efforts on the rise, why risk having trouble with something like staff not being properly trained and certified? Don’t wait until November – advise your staff to get their TAM Card today.
