What does SmartServe cover?

 

The Programme provides participants with the knowledge and confidence to handle difficult situations surrounding the service of alcohol and most importantly to deal with customers in a safe and lawful manner.

 

The Alcohol Marketing, Communications and Sponsorship Code of Practice states that from Oct 2008;

'Where there is an alcohol brand sponsor, the sponsor will insist upon all bar management completing Responsible Serving of Alcohol (RSA) training. In addition all bar servers will be briefed on their Responsible Serving obligations.'

SmartServe training is available (on-site or online) for all staff serving at events where there is an alcohol brand sponsor.

Following SmartServe training, an official Alcohol Policy document is issued for display at each area where alcohol is served.
