Federal FLSA permits tip-credit on wages only for employees who customarily and regularly receive tips, and only for the time spent on tip-producing duties. Many states (and the federal "80/20" rule) limit how much side-work can be performed while paying tip-credit wage. Polishing silverware for an hour at the start of shift is the most common silent violation.
Wage-and-hour collective actions in restaurants frequently win on the side-work issue and produce back-pay liability across all tipped staff in the lookback period.
Building occupancy posted on a permit reflects load-bearing and exit-capacity design; fire-marshal capacity reflects egress under emergency conditions and may be lower. Operating to the higher number is a citation; operating to the higher number while blocking a marked exit is a fire-code violation that can close the venue same-day.
A capacity citation is one of the few violations a fire marshal can act on in real-time during operations. Repeat findings can affect insurance and licensing renewal.
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.
