Inspectors typically scan refrigeration and hot-hold logs for entries before service shifts as the first compliance signal. A log with all entries at exactly the same time each day reads as fabricated; a log with realistic time variance and occasional out-of-range entries with documented corrective action reads as authentic.

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.
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.
