Navigating the 50% Front-of-House Requirement

In the state of Pennsylvania, the PLCB mandates a specific ratio for RAMP certification to ensure ongoing public safety. Specifically, a key component of RAMP certification for an establishment is the requirement that at least 50% of a licensee’s front-of-house staff—including bartenders, servers, and security personnel—must be RAMP certified at all times. This is not a “one-and-done” metric; it is a rolling requirement that demands constant attention from management.

If a certified employee leaves the establishment, the licensee must ensure another staff member is trained immediately to maintain the 50% threshold. Failure to meet this requirement can lead to the loss of “RAMP Certified” status. Maintaining this status is vital because it provides significant legal protections, such as administrative “defense” in certain cases, and can even lead to potential discounts on liquor liability insurance premiums.
