California requires Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) certification for people who serve alcohol at on-premises licensees, and a California Food Handler Card for food handlers. Both are valid for three years. Staffli stores each one with its date, alerts you before it lapses and warns you if you schedule a worker whose certification has expired.
