Effective June 1, 2026, HRBUniversal no longer represents the TiPS (Training for Intervention ProcedureS) Responsible Alcohol Seller/Service program. This decision comes as a direct result of the current policies and actions of 360training® | Regulatory Compliance Training Online.
Moving forward, I strongly advise hotels, bars, and restaurants to look closely at the ServSafe Alcohol® program, backed by the National Restaurant Association.
Here is why making the switch to ServSafe Alcohol is a smarter business move:
Significant Cost Savings: The cost per participant is substantially lower, directly benefiting your bottom line.
Streamlined In-House Training: It is incredibly easy to get your management team approved as instructors. You can bring your compliance training completely in-house without the administrative headaches.
No Out-of-Office Downtime: Say goodbye to losing a manager for two full days of training.
Zero Train-the-Trainer Fees: You can completely avoid the hefty $500 “train-the-trainer” fees associated with other programs.
What if your insurance provider or local municipality explicitly requires the TiPS program? I highly encourage you to present them with the ServSafe Alcohol program as an alternative. In my professional opinion, ServSafe Alcohol is a far more robust and effective training program for modern hotel, bar, and restaurant teams.
Protect your business, empower your managers, and keep your training dollars where they belong—in your operation.
