| Dallas, TX – May 15, 2003 - HotelTraining.com introduced on-line responsible
alcohol server training, "Learn2Serve" earlier this year. Shamin Hotels
selected "Learn2Serve" as the course met a variety of their selection criteria
by providing a comprehensive anytime anywhere training solution that integrates
online multimedia based training, e-testing, compliance management and
certificate distribution for serving alcohol responsibly.
"Learn2Serve" is designed to streamline the process of employee compliance
and reduce liability within the hospitality, food and beverage industries.
-
Simplifies the challenges of scheduling for certification food and beverage
employees in disparate locations by using a centralized point of electronic
access to accredited alcohol server training courses.
-
Provides an immediate, on-demand solution for employees and managers to
obtain training and certification at a highly efficient level of delivery,
cost and administration.
-
Currently offered for over 38 states at a cost of $25 to $35 per person.
-
Course requires less time than classroom instruction therefore reducing
the amount of time and money required to become certified/trained.
-
Compelling animation based instruction and testing that can be taken without
the need for special software or high-speed Internet connections.
Tom Bowen, Vice President of Operations for Shamin Hotels said "We selected
"Learn2Serve" because of the ease and convince of taking the course as
well as the reduced cost. Being able to simply direct our people
to the www.hoteltraining.com web site was much easier than finding a course
being taught somewhere and then scheduling our people to attend and provide
coverage for their shifts." Mr. Bowen went on to say, " The price
was important to us and we found the cost to be less than what we might
pay for a course taught in a classroom by an instructor. The bottom
line is we had our people certified faster, with less inconvenience, and
it cost us less."
Shamin Hotels owns and operates thirteen hotels and an assisted living
facility in Virginia and North Carolina. Franchise affiliations include
Holiday Inn Express, Wingate Inns, Hampton Inn, Comfort Inn, Comfort Suites
and Homewood Suites.
Although training is not mandatory in all states, it may significantly
reduce the risk and liability associated with alcohol service, in addition
to providing mitigating benefits in certain instances, such as when alcohol
has been sold to a minor. Penalties may be reduced if a licensee has completed
a responsible alcohol service-training program.
