Read the first 6 Intervention and Refusal of Service flashcards as text

  1. Under RAMP guidelines, when must a server refuse alcohol service to a patron?

    Answer: When a patron shows visible signs of intoxication

    Under RAMP, servers must refuse service to any patron who shows visible signs of intoxication, regardless of the number of drinks consumed.

  2. What is the recommended tone and approach when refusing service to an intoxicated patron?

    Answer: Calm, firm, and respectful

    Refusing service calmly, firmly, and respectfully reduces the chance of conflict and protects both the patron and the establishment.

  3. What is the BEST first action to prevent a visibly intoxicated patron from driving away?

    Answer: Offer to arrange a taxi, rideshare, or designated driver

    Offering a safe transportation alternative is the most effective and legally appropriate first step when preventing a patron from driving impaired.

  4. Who is responsible for monitoring patron intoxication levels in a RAMP-certified establishment?

    Answer: All staff and management

    Under RAMP, all employees who serve or sell alcohol share responsibility for monitoring patron intoxication levels.

  5. If a patron becomes verbally aggressive after being refused service, what should the server do FIRST?

    Answer: Remain calm and involve a supervisor or manager

    De-escalation and management involvement are the proper first steps before contacting law enforcement.

  6. In responsible alcohol service, what is meant by the term 'intervention'?

    Answer: Proactively stepping in to prevent or stop further service to an at-risk patron

    Intervention means proactively acting — slowing service, cutting off, or redirecting — to prevent harm from over-service of alcohol.
