Who Needs an Alcohol Service Permit

Do I need an OLCC Alcohol Service Permit?

You must have an OLCC Alcohol Service Permit if you participate in any manner of mixing, selling, or serving alcohol for drinking on the premises.  This also applies to anyone who manages these people, must have a liquor license or service permit issued by the OLCC. If you need a OLCC permit, simply take our easy class and learn all about being a server.  Additionally, anyone who fills "growlers" for off-premises locations also need an OLCC server permit.  

The liquor service permit allows owners, managers, supervisors, cocktail waitresses, beer jockeys, growler fillers, stadium concessions, cruise ship workers, casinos, all need the OLCC server permit to serve alcohol.  We also help volunteers working at an event that serves alcohol easily and quickly get their permit in time to work at the event. We also help alcohol monitors learn how to check IDs of patrons.

An alcohol service permit is for:

• A server (waitstaff, bartender, manager, etc,) working at a business that allows customers to drink alcohol on the premises (like a restaurant, bar, tavern, winery, temporary special event license, etc.) to mix, sell, or serve alcohol.
• A manager who directly supervises servers who mix, serve, or sell alcohol to customers for drinking on the premises.
• An owner who mixes, serves, or sells alcohol or manages servers at that business and whose name is notindividually listed on the liquor license.
