Certification, Licensing, and Special Requirements

Certification or Licensing

The American Hotel and Lodging Educational Institute offers voluntary certification for food and beverage executives.

Other Requirements

Most food service workers, including baristas, are required to obtain health certificates from the state Department of Public Health that certify they are free from communicable diseases, proven by physical examination and blood tests. This is required for the protection of the general public. Many food and beverage service employers also require employees to pass a drug test.
