Why an Online THC Beverage Course is Essential for Your Team

An online THC beverage course isn’t just training — it’s a compliance tool, a risk management strategy, and a competitive advantage for bars and restaurants entering this new market.

  1. Protects Your Business

    • Most liquor liability insurance does not cover THC beverages.  We strongly suggest obtaining a supplemental insurance plan to cover the THC beverage category.  A link to shop for plans is available on the homepage under “THC Supplemental Insurance Policies”.

    • A trained staff reduces mistakes in dosing, serving, and compliance, which lowers your overall risk exposure.

    • Demonstrating that your team has completed formal THC training can strengthen your position when obtaining supplemental THC insurance coverage.

  2. Ensures Compliance with State Regulations

    • THC beverage laws vary by state and change frequently.

    • This course helps staff understand the latest serving limits, labeling requirements, and age restrictions so your business avoids costly fines or violations.

  3. Supports Responsible Service

    • Just like alcohol service training (e.g., TIPS or ServSafe Alcohol), THC beverage training ensures staff can:

      • Verify legal purchase age.

      • Understand onset times and dosing effects.

      • Recognize when a guest may have had too much.

    • This helps protect both your guests and your business.

  4. Improves Guest Experience

    • Guests want to feel confident they’re consuming THC responsibly.

    • Knowledgeable staff can explain product effects, serving sizes, and pairings, creating a trustworthy and elevated hospitality experience.

  5. Positions You Ahead of Competitors

    • As hemp-derived THC beverages gain popularity, bars and restaurants that adopt best practices early will stand out.

    • Investing in training signals to guests, regulators, and insurers that your business is serious about safety, compliance, and innovation.
