ServSafe Alcohol Training

​South Dakota businesses which sell alcohol are advised to provide approved training to their employees. Why? Because if your establishment is caught selling alcohol to an underage person, your business will be fined, and the penalty is doubled if the employee who sold the alcohol has not been through an approved training program. (Upon a third violation within a 24-month period, the establishment's alcohol license will be suspended for a period of time). It is also just plain good business practice to train your employees about alcohol and tobacco laws, how to handle underage buyers, and the consequences of illegal sales.
