The Solution: TIPS for On Premise empowers your employees to take a proactive approach toward preventing alcohol misuse and maintaining control of the environment. By training your staff to recognize the signs of intoxication, you can reduce the chance that an alcohol-related incident will occur.

Additional Benefits: TIPS training can also improve business and community relations.

Liquor boards and local authorities tend to look favorably on establishments that incorporate TIPS, which can lead to more lenient penalties in the event of an alcohol violation. TIPS for On Premise can also help an establishment protect itself from possible litigation and often results in reduced liability insurance premiums.
