HOST Training™

Below is an outline of our Hospitality Operations Security Techniques or HOST Training Program. This program has been used across the country with much success. It is in depth, comprehensive and thorough. This type of training program has reduced problems surrounding the over-consumption of alcohol, alcohol and violence, liquor liabilities, minors consuming alcohol, police visits to alcohol service venues and it has assisted in lowering insurance costs for alcohol service venues that have implemented the program and the associated changes taught.

Additionally, local, state and national alcohol service industry associations along with municipal government leaders are examining the HOST Training program as a possible mandated training session for their alcohol licensed venues.

This 11 hour session can make a huge difference in the actions of employees who are trained and follow the training elements. The training program can also affect the community the venue is apart of. The end result are positive for all involved.

• Reduce Violent Incidents
