The Government is currently actively seeking input from our sector on two key issues affecting our industry: Hospitality Compliance and Commercial Credit Card usage.
1) Hospitality Compliance Review
As we have already shared, a major review of hospitality compliance regulations is underway. The Hospitality Review will identify pain points for our sector and look at removing barriers where they are no longer justifiable and constraining growth or threatening our sustainability.
The Government are keen to hear about regulatory pain points and problems affecting hospitality businesses. These issues were also raised as part of our Hospitality Summit, held in 2024, so there is already some context for the review for Government.
The consultation for the review is open until 12 November and we encourage members and the wider industry to take part. The more feedback the Government receives, the more chance we have to influence our industry’s regulatory future.

2) Commercial Credit Card Usage Survey
Following our engagement around card usage, interchange caps and the proposed surcharge ban, we’ve been asked for feedback on commercial credit card use within our sector.
This short survey looks to understand the benefits and impacts for businesses that use, and/or accept commercial cards.
Both surveys are important opportunities to ensure decision-makers hear direct viewpoints from those working on the ground every day!
