A Hawaii bartending license will be required if you wish to sell alcohol at a bar/restaurant. This license will prove that you are competent to serve alcohol in licensed establishments. It can also be used to receive discounts on liquor liability Insurance.
A bartending license is not required for every bartender in Hawaii, but it may be necessary for certain establishments. Employers will usually require employees to be knowledgeable about alcohol sales. There are different requirements depending on where you live, but many counties will require that all employees have alcohol service training. You can also take online bartending courses, but be careful before you enroll in any. It is important to make sure the course is state certified. If you're unsure, contact your local liquor commissioner.
Hawaii has a minimum age of 18 for alcohol service. To obtain a general license, you must be at the least 21 years. If you work for a private bar or restaurant, you are required to have a liquor card, which is issued by the county. This card is valid up to four years. A license to open a Hawaii Bar is required. This information can be found on the website for your county's alcohol commission.
Training in alcohol service will give you knowledge about the laws of the state. It will help you recognize minors and handle intoxicated clients. It will also teach you how to protect your establishment from liability. It will also explain the harmful effects of alcohol on the body. You will learn how to decline sales to impaired customers.
If you do not have a Hawaii license, you will need to undergo alcohol server training. The certification process may include a course or an exam. In some cases, you may also have to complete additional paperwork. The certificate you receive may not be a Red Card, Blue Card, or any other type of license.
Hawaii's alcohol service laws and regulations are varied from one county to another. Each county has its own agency that enforces the rules. Some counties require that employees complete training in bartending within 90 days of hiring. The law also prohibits the sale or discount of alcohol during happy hour. This means that employees cannot deliver, sell, or serve alcohol during happy hours. If you sell alcohol during happy hours, you must have a liquor card, and you will not be allowed to sell alcohol at a discount or at free will.
If you have a felony conviction, you are not permitted to obtain a liquor license. You can still work in Hawaii as a bartender. Your employer must inform you in writing if there has been a conviction for a felony.
