Steve Gostin, Lead Consultant—West Coast, is a certified TiPS instructor and has provided hundreds of certifications to servers of alcohol and licensees.  “The laws are ever-changing and ever-challenging.  Most recently, changes in what is acceptable as a bona fide ID has hit the books in California.  The greatest tool we have in controlling alcohol service and identifying guests who may have had a bit too much is knowledge and education.  TiPS provides just that: education to ensure your team and your license is protected,” Gostin commented.
