The Secret to Getting Hired in Pennsylvania: RAMP Certification

If you are looking to get hired in a Pennsylvania restaurant, bar, or hotel, there is one acronym you need to know: RAMP. While Pennsylvania does not currently have a statewide food handler requirement, the PLCB (Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board) highly incentivizes owners to hire staff who are already RAMP-certified. In fact, many establishments won’t even interview a server or bartender who isn’t already “Ready to Work.”

Why Managers Look for RAMP on Your Resume

In PA, a RAMP-certified server is a “Safe Hire.” It tells the manager that you understand the laws regarding:

• Identifying and Refusing service to minors.

• Spotting visible signs of intoxication.

• Standardizing pour sizes and drink counting.

• Properly checking Pennsylvania IDs and Driver’s Licenses.
