Correct answer

To create a consistent, lawful standard of service and reduce the risk of violations across the team

A To slow them down
B To create a consistent, lawful standard of service and reduce the risk of violations across the team
C To reduce wages
D It is unnecessary

Why this is the answer

A key reason to train all alcohol-serving staff is to establish a consistent, lawful standard of service across the entire team — so every server checks IDs properly, recognizes intoxication, and refuses service when appropriate in the same way. Consistent training reduces the risk of violations, supports staff in difficult situations, and builds a culture of responsibility. It also protects the establishment legally by showing it took reasonable steps to ensure compliant service. Managers are responsible for ensuring staff are trained and that the training is reinforced over time.
