Which type of card is required for managers of off-premises entities?

The requirement for managers of off-premises entities to hold a specific type of card is based on local regulations pertaining to the handling and sale of alcohol. In Hawaii, the Red Card is designated for those who are responsible for the management and operation of off-premises establishments, which primarily include retailers like grocery stores, convenience stores, and liquor stores.

Having a Red Card signifies that the manager has completed the necessary training related to state laws and regulations governing the sale and consumption of alcohol. This training ensures that they understand the important aspects of alcohol service, including age verification, responsible selling practices, and compliance with local ordinances.

The other card types—Green, Yellow, and Blue cards—serve different purposes related to alcohol training and are applicable in various contexts (like on-premises entities or specific roles), but they do not pertain to managers of off-premises entities in the same way the Red Card does. Therefore, the distinction of the Red Card as a requirement highlights its importance in maintaining responsible alcohol service in off-premises settings.
