Understanding Hospitality Law alerts hotel and restaurant operators to a number of potential legal problems and pitfalls. Readers of Understanding Hospitality Law should be better able to recognize, early on, a legal problem or potential legal problem, so they can consult with a local attorney in time to head off the problem before it mushrooms into a damaging lawsuit. At the end of each chapter, the reader will find "Important Points for Management," a section that summarizes the basic legal principles discussed in the chapter.
