The hospitality industry is one of the most vibrant and fast-growing sectors in India, but it is also one of the most regulated. From hotels and resorts to restaurants, bars, and food service chains, every stage of the business lifecycle is closely tied to multiple statutory approvals and compliance obligations. At Justora Legal, we understand the challenges hospitality ventures face in balancing operations with regulatory expectations, and we provide end-to-end legal solutions that allow businesses to grow while staying fully compliant.

• FSSAI Compliance
  Food safety sits at the core of the hospitality sector. We assist clients with FSSAI licensing, labelling requirements, hygiene audits, periodic renewals, and addressing notices from regulatory authorities. By streamlining processes and ensuring strict adherence to the Food Safety and Standards Act, we help restaurants, cafes, catering services, and hotel kitchens maintain compliance and avoid reputational risks.
  
• Liquor & Excise Licensing
  Securing and maintaining liquor and excise licenses can often be one of the most complex tasks for hospitality operators. Our services include obtaining bar and restaurant licenses, excise permissions, renewals, and representation in disputes with licensing authorities. We ensure clients meet state-specific regulatory standards, thereby enabling uninterrupted operations for establishments serving alcohol.
  
• Tourism & Operational Licensing
  For hotels and resorts, regulatory approvals extend beyond food and excise. We advise on hotel classification processes, Ministry of Tourism approvals, operational licenses, and certifications necessary for running and scaling tourism-focused businesses. These ensure not only compliance but also eligibility for government schemes, international tie-ups, and enhanced market reputation.
  
  
• Real Estate & Zoning Clearances
  Location plays a defining role in hospitality ventures. We provide guidance on zoning approvals, RERA compliance, municipal permissions, and environmental clearances required for building and operating hotels, resorts, and restaurants. Our team works closely with developers and operators to mitigate land-use disputes and ensure smooth project execution.
  
• Data Privacy Compliance
  With the advent of digital bookings and guest management systems, data protection has become a critical concern. We assist clients in achieving compliance with the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, ensuring that guest records, payment details, and booking information are managed securely, with appropriate consent and retention frameworks in place.
  
• Franchise, Investment & Structuring
  As hospitality ventures expand, structuring becomes essential. We advise hotel chains and F&B groups on franchise agreements, foreign direct investment (FDI) compliance, joint ventures, brand licensing, and corporate structuring. Our goal is to help clients scale their businesses while protecting intellectual property and managing regulatory risk.

At Justora Legal, we go beyond compliance to act as strategic advisors. By combining regulatory expertise, commercial insight, and sector-specific knowledge, we provide hospitality businesses with the clarity and confidence to grow sustainably in a highly competitive and regulated landscape.
