Hospitality Law

Managing Legal Issues in the Hospitality Industry

About this book

New edition of the leading textbook on the complex legal issues which arise in hospitality: restaurants, bars, hotels, and more

Hospitality Law helps teach readers what they need to know to manage a facility legally, safely, and securely, taking an applied approach to the study of hospitality law with its touchstone of compliance and prevention. The legal information provided is carefully selected to specifically correlate with helping readers understand how to do the right thing.

The book is highly pedagogical and includes many interactive exercises and real-world cases that help readers focus on the practical application of hospitality laws and model their decision process to keep employees and guests safe while avoiding liability. The authors immediately help readers learn about the legalities of situations and work through exercises, both individually and in groups, to effectively apply them to hospitality management situations. Many instructors teach their course from a very applied perspective, which aligns with the book's approach.

Updates in this newly revised Sixth Edition of Hospitality Law include:

  • Details about the latest changes to laws, guidelines, standards, and regulations, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, AI policies in the workplace, website accessibility update for those with disabilities, the ongoing Fentanyl and Human Trafficking crises, and LGTBQ rights in the workplace
  • Guidance regarding use of social media and mobile devices in hospitality
  • Recent changes regarding food allergies and other potential hazards
  • Resources and links updated to the most current information
  • Revised instructor support materials including PowerPoint slides, an Instructor's Manual, and test banks
