| Summary: | The purpose of this article is to shed more light on the importance of promoting greater
awareness of legal requirements and liabilities of food and beverage operations (F&B)
operations. It is a descriptive analysis which highlights aspects related to food hygiene.
Managing legal issues in the hospitality industry, especially in F&B, is a tricky business. The
magnitude of the global tourism industry means that the laws governing it are exhaustive
and at the best of times, highly complex. Since tourists need to eat and drink it is imperative
that industry employees have a meaningful grasp on what is expected legally speaking.
Tourists spend large amounts of money on food and beverages and this is second only to
airfare to and from destinations. Creating awareness of legal requirements and liabilities in
food and beverage operations among industry employees is essential. As very little has
been written on consumer rights and industry obligations in the South African hospitality
industry food and beverage context, it is hope that this article will create greater awareness
of a critically important aspect in the hospitality industry.
