The merchant — the restaurant or hotel — remains responsible for PCI compliance regardless of the POS vendor's certifications. Vendor compliance covers the software; merchant responsibility covers network segmentation, employee access, and incident response. "We use a PCI-compliant POS" is not an audit response.
Card-brand fines after a breach apply to the merchant, not the vendor. Self-assessment questionnaires are required annually and are reviewed by acquiring banks.
Under ADA, staff may ask only (1) "Is the animal required because of a disability?" and (2) "What work or task has the animal been trained to perform?" Anything beyond — proof of disability, proof of training, demonstration of the task — is a violation. The animal can be excluded only for actual disruption, not breed or perceived risk.
ADA complaints in hospitality settings are among the easiest to substantiate because staff scripts often deviate from the two-question rule. Settlements include training requirements that exceed the cost of training upfront.
Charging a no-show fee is permitted; the boundary cases are (1) failure to disclose the fee at booking time clearly, (2) charging more than the posted fee, and (3) charging after a same-day cancellation that is allowed under the posted policy. Each becomes a consumer-protection complaint when the booking confirmation does not match the charge.
State consumer-protection bureaus pursue patterns of small undisclosed charges aggressively because each affected guest is a potential complainant.
