Hospitality businesses, such as hotels and restaurants, have the difficult task of protecting guests, customers, employees, and equipment from everyday threats — all without hurting the curb appeal or atmosphere of their establishments.

So, what threats do hospitality businesses face, exactly? Well, the most common risks are forced entry, burglary, smash-and-grab theft, vandalism, and rioting and looting. Other concerns are threats to personal safety like an active shooter scenario or a nearby bomb blast.

In addition to all these risks, hospitality business owners also have to worry about the possibility of storm damage (depending on where the hotel or restaurant is located).
