Explanation
Title 4 CCR §165 requires RBS certification for any 'alcohol server' at an on-premises licensee, defined as a person who takes orders for, serves, delivers, or sells alcoholic beverages to customers, as well as managers and persons whose duties include checking IDs (door staff). Back-of-house staff (dishwashers, accountants, delivery drivers) who never serve alcohol or check IDs are not within the §165 mandate, though employers may still train them voluntarily.
