    Doing Your RSA QLD Course? No No’s: Things you should never allow.

    People that have been drinking alcohol can be very entertaining, but remember that it is your job to not allow their antics to go too far. Being the life of the party is a blast, but when the party tries to take you home it isn’t. Never allow a female to leave with a group of males that she obviously does not know, especially if she seems a lot more drunk than she should be. A good rule of thumb is to snap a picture of anybody that seems suspicious to you. Girls get their drinks spiked in all kinds of bars, don’t think it won’t happen in your bar. If you are able, ask the girl if she knows the men and offer to call her a cab. Get Your RSA QLD Course Online and learn more about Responsible service of Alcohol. Never allow a very intoxicated person to buy a round, always make sure they know that they are doing it. Sometimes they are talking out of their drunken state and don’t have the funds to pay. Many times, especially with credit card charges a sobered-up person may dispute the charges. Never turn your back on a customer at closing. While it is easy to get their last drink and start on your closing duties, it is just as easy for that person to steal from you or harm you. Just make polite conversation, reference the security cameras and how they need dusting, or say that your manager is late getting back. This will imply that they could be a witness or that he would be caught on camera, if he were to try to steal. Get Your RSA QLD Course Online and learn more about Responsible service of Alcohol.

    Never allow a person drunk or sober to dance or stand on a table or bartop. Never bad mouth co-workers, management, or other patrons to customers. Never allow a patron to serve themselves. Never allow two members of the opposite sex in a gender specific bathroom. Never let people strip their clothes, this might be entertaining but can offend other customers and you might lose their business. Never allow an argument to last for more than a few minutes. Never allow a customer to be made fun of or the butt of a cruel joke. It is your job to make friends, not enemies.

  • RSA QLD – Mix It Right

    RSA QLD presents ideas in mixing

    Recipes are great. They give you instructions, ingredients, and even ideas about how to make drinks. But some recipes are not very specific about how to put the drink together. Words like “combine” or “mix” can leave a bartender a little confused about the best way to go about it. Some call for shaking, others call for blending, while some drinks don’t tell you anything but a list of ingredients. Mixing does make a huge difference in the taste and quality of a drink. For instance, a Sex With an Alligator needs to be layered, not mixed, otherwise it tastes like rust. The flavors need to be in a certain order to deliver the desired effect.

    RSA QLD – Course Online

    A thought to keep in mind when there are no specific instructions is to look at the ingredients. Drinks that call for pureed juiced or very thick mixes should be “rolled”. Rolling is pouring the drink from one glass to another, until completely mixed. The purpose is to avoid making the drink overly frothy, like shaking would.

    Drinks containing sugar, milk or regular juices should be shaken. You can use a regular metal shaker with a lid or a pint glass. If you are mixing a drink using sugar, a pint glass, instead of a lid, will allow you to see if the sugar has dissolved better.

    Drinks that call for stirring are typically made with soda or tonic. Shaking these would cause them to go flat. They are, often, very simple, typically a mixer and one alcohol.

    Floating or layering keeps the ingredients, in a drink, separate. You can layer a drink by slowly pouring a liqueur down a rod, back of a spoon or the edge of the glass. The order is very important, as some liqueurs are heavier than others. The temperature is also important, colder is heavier and thicker. Most layered recipes will call for it specifically.

    Blending a drink usually will call for ice, though some creamy drinks don’t. Most drinks that are shaken can also be a frozen drink, if you just throw everything in a blender. A blended drink should usually cost a little more, since it is a small amount of extra work.

    The RSA course Online (RSA QLD, RSA NT, RSA WA, RSA SA) allows you to serve alcohol in Australia.

  • RSA Brisbane – Bar Essentials

    Have you done your RSA Brisbane course and need some tips for working in a bar.

    RSA Brisbane and Making Juice

    When you squeeze fresh citrus fruit, you are essentially putting enough pressure on the tiny juice sacs to cause them to burst and expel juice. Hand squeezing produces juice fastest, but produces the least amount of juice of any other juicing method. One way to maximize juice production is to cut limes in half by width, like you do when making fruit wheels. Stab the fruit with a knife or fork several times from the inside of the fruit, making sure that you are slicing through to the other side. Try to break as many juice sacs as possible.

    RSA Brisbane – Tiki Bar Essentials

    The perfect addition to an outside affair, is a tiki bar. It gives an exotic flair to business, formal or, otherwise, humdrum occasions. While other bars and wait staff may be serving shots, champagne or elegant drinks, the tiki bar serves fun in a glass! Setting one up can be just as fun. This calls for imagination when choosing your supplies. Here is a list of basics. At least 2 blenders 3 shakers Cocktail glasses Margarita Glassed Hurricane glasses Shooters Collins or pints Rum, rum and more rum, flavored (especially coconut), lite, dark and spiced Tequila Vodka Flavored schnaps, butterscotch, melon, cherry, peach, apple, berry… Coffee flavored liqueur Triple Sec Sweetened Lime Juice Grenadine Fresh Fruit: lime, lemon, pineapple, orange, grapefruit, papaya, mango Fresh mint and ginger Coconut cream, pina colada mix Regular sized straws, not cocktail straws Sugar Salt Fruit Juices Umbrella skewers Maraschino cherries Grater Muddler Cutting board Paring knives Measuring spoon Fresh flowers, such as orchids Rose water Milk or Cream Daiquiri mixes, strawberry, peach, passion fruit… LOTS OF ICE!

    RSA Brisbane – Perfect Mojito

    Why use a Mojito Mix, when you can look like a pro making this easy and refreshing drink from scratch? Perfect Mojito 2 oz of Lite Rum club soda or tonic water a few sprigs of fresh mint ½ shot glass of white sugar 1 fresh lime In a pint, muddle 3 sprigs of mint, sugar and tonic water or club soda until sugar is almost completely dissolved. Tonic water will make a sweeter drink. Cut lime in half. Squeeze both halves into drink and drop one half in, discard THE other. Add rum, fill with ice and stir. Garnish with lime wheel and fresh mint sprig. To make and serve these drinks in Australia you will need to do the RSA course (RSA Brisbane , RSA WA, RSA NT, RSA SA)

     

  • Training Your Wait Staff With The RSA Course

    RSA Course Online Training – Teaches Responsible Service Of Alcohol

    RSA Training Online teaches you that the key to a great working relationship with your waitress is fluidity. They give you their drink orders and you make them, no hitches, no questions, just a smooth interaction. How do you do this? You have to train your own wait staff. You have to be upfront and let them know what you expect. No, you are not their boss and you should not be demanding, but you need to be firm on how you would like to take their orders and so forth.

    First, the proper way to call drinks is shots, mixers, beers and non alcoholics. But, you may prefer to hear your nonalcoholics along with your mixers, since you will have the gun in hand already, or shots last. However you work better, be adamant that this is how you would like to hear orders called out. Every time they slip up and call out of order, let them know that it throws you off.

    If you want the wait staff to wait for you to ask them what they need before calling, tell him or her. If they leave empties on the bar and it is not your job to clear them, let them know that they need to clear their own, or tell them where to put them so the bareback man can do it. Or let them know that they are wasting time for both of you, by not having their money out to pay for the drinks. Tell them that they need to have it out and ready before you are finished making their drinks.

    RSA Course Online Teaches

    There is protocol in every establishment, so familiarize yourself with all the rules and regulations. If you have questions about what you should do in any situation go to your supervisor or manager. Don’t forget to ask your wait staff for their opinions on how to make things run smoother. Getting through a successful workday is a team effort.

    The RSA course is designed to make serving alcohol responsibly an easy task. There are rules and regulations set by the government to ensure the safety and well being of everyone.

    So if you are applying for your RSA course responsible service of alcohol certificate with the RSA Course online, then be prepared to put what you have learned here into action once you start working in a bar or licensed premises.

  • QLD RSA – Responsible Service Of Alcohol For Those Serving Alcohol in QLD

    To complete your responsible service of alcohol course in Queensland, you need to do the QLD RSA Course. This is available online

     

  • RSA QLD Course For Responsible Service Of Alcohol

    If you plan to work in a bar in Queensland or in fact anywhere that requires you to serve alcohol then you will need to do the responsible service of alcohol course (RSA QLD). Click this link to find out the requirements for your RSA QLD Certificate

    RSA QLD

    There is a time limit in which you must have completed your RSA Certificate in Qld. Otherwise your employer could face fines. Your certificate also expires so you must keep it up to date.

    Why Do I Have To Do This RSA QLD Course?

    Not everyone has the ability to know when they need to stop drinking. For some people this is the case every time they drink. For other people it may be a one off thing. They have had a bad day and don’t normally drink large amounts and do not know what their limit is.

    Because of this it is important that the government set standards through community and specialist consultation to ensure the safety off all those who are in the establishment or surrounding area.

    Have you ever been to a pub or club where people just seem totally out of control? Prior to the responsible service of alcohol laws it made it very difficult for pub owners and staff to do anything about this kind of behaviour.  Some places made their own rules and the customers knew they had to stick by them or not get served. Easy if you are in  a town with one pub, but much more difficult in other places where you may lose business but did not have the law on your side. Staff now have much greater powers to remove those who are disturbing other customers.

    You will also learn more about alcohol and how to work out a standard drink. Since evry drink has a different alcohol content it makes it very difficult to just count the drinks someone has had. 3 drinks of one type could have 3 x the alcohol of 3 drinks of another type. It also depend son the volume of the drink. 30ml of spirit has the same alcohol as 100ml of wine. A big wine glass may have 300mls and therefore a lot more alcohol.
