Eight of the biggest legal risks in UK hospitality, allergens, licensing, fire safety, right to work and more, turned into plain-English guides with worked examples and ready-to-use templates. No subscription. No jargon.
"ISN'T THIS ALL FREE ONLINE?"
"The Home Office doesn't need to prove you knew. It only needs to prove you didn't check properly — and for most businesses that get fined, that's exactly what happened."
THE RIGHT TO WORK PLAYBOOK
Every guide starts from current UK legislation, government guidance and enforcement data, the Licensing Act, UK GDPR, the Fire Safety Order, and so on, researched and structured using Hospitality Compliance HQ's editorial process, which combines AI-assisted drafting with research cross-checked against primary government and regulatory sources. Each guide is written specifically for how hospitality businesses actually operate, not adapted from generic legal content written for another industry. As with any general guidance, it isn't a substitute for advice from a qualified solicitor or accountant on your specific situation — see the disclaimer at the front of each guide for details.
No. Every guide is general guidance to help you understand a compliance area and build practical systems around it, it is not a substitute for advice from a qualified solicitor, accountant or specialist consultant about your specific business. Each guide includes a disclaimer explaining exactly what it can and can't do, and where the law is genuinely unsettled or still being finalised (such as parts of Martyn's Law and the 2026 data protection reforms), we say so directly rather than presenting it as settled.
Every guide is an instant PDF download — there's nothing to wait for and nothing physical shipped. You'll get immediate access via email link delivery as soon as your payment is confirmed.
Do you offer refunds?

Business owners, general managers, and anyone with day-to-day responsibility for a specific compliance area — a head chef for the Allergen Playbook, a bar manager for Licensing, a general manager for Fire Safety or Data Protection. They are perfect for colleges to use to teach the students in a clear and easy to follow way, with practical worksheets that can also be used.
Each guide is written in plain English rather than legal or technical language, so it works whether you're the person ultimately accountable or the person actually running the system day to day.
Yes. Several guides are explicitly structured to support staff training — the Allergen Playbook's training log, the Licensing Playbook's staff training record, and the Fire Safety Playbook's evacuation drill record are all built for exactly this. The guides themselves are also a genuinely useful induction resource for a new manager taking on a compliance area for the first time.
