Door Host Workshop

Food & Beverage Association Members and Associates,

The State of California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS), Dept of ABC, Police Depts. and the Food & Beverage Association are conducting a County Wide workshop for all Hospitality Businesses who employ (Proprietary) Door Hosts (Security-Bouncers).

Three recent pieces of state legislation require all Door Hosts to be licensed and trained---please see the attached legislation history-definitions.

Location; In Cahoots, 5373 Mission Centre Road in Mission Valley

When; Monday June 14 at 2pm to 3:30pm

Who should attend; All Owners, Managers who employee Door Hosts and Door Hosts who work as employees of the business---these employees must be licensed and trained-a Guard Card does not fulfill this legal requirement

Who need not attend; businesses that employ a security company---they are required to have a Guard Card

The workshop will start with a presentation by BSIS and ABC supported by Police to inform about requirements.

We will also have all necessary forms and live scan their to process door hosts who need to be licensed.

Why do you need to attend this workshop? Every business who employees Door Hosts has a legal responsibility to insure their business in operating according to current law and BSIS is increasing its level of enforcement.

Here is a greater reason to get licensed---an altercation between your Door Host and a Guest results in an accusation/lawsuit---the first question form their attorney will be-provide proof your Door Host is legally licensed to perform that job! You can guess what the outcome will be if they are not legally licensed

Please circulate this notice among businesses and friends –there is no cost for the workshop but there are fees to be licensed.

Any questions please call---619-228-2291
