Hospitality Law Basics: What Every Restaurant & Bar Owner Needs to Know

Описание: Opening a restaurant, bar, or hospitality concept takes more than a great idea — it takes smart legal planning from day one.

Hi, I’m Renée, founder of EngageLaw. In this three-part series, I walk hospitality business owners through the key legal foundations that support long-term growth and protect what you’re building.

From advising startups to supporting established brands as they expand teams and locations, I’ve seen firsthand how many moving parts come with launching and growing a hospitality business.

In this series, I cover:

✔️ Choosing the right business entity and drafting operating agreements
✔️ Navigating commercial leases and liquor licensing requirements
✔️ Hiring employees and setting up compliant workplace policies

I also share real-world insights from a current client opening a boutique retail wine store — highlighting common challenges and how to plan for them before they become costly problems.

Whether you’re still in the planning phase or already moving forward, the right legal strategy can help you launch with confidence and build on solid ground.
