Community principles
In development

A constructive standard for a professional hospitality community.

These pre-launch principles describe the culture and safeguards HospoTek intends to build. They are not final marketplace terms or a substitute for legal review before community features launch.

Contribute something practical

  • Ask clear questions and include the operating context others need to help.
  • Share experience honestly and separate what you know from what you assume.
  • Credit other people's work and respect intellectual property.

Treat people with respect

  • No harassment, discrimination, threats, bullying or targeted humiliation.
  • Debate the idea without attacking the person, venue, customer or team.
  • Do not use the community to organise abuse or retaliation.

Protect privacy and venue information

  • Do not post confidential venue, employee, guest, incident or commercial information.
  • Remove identifying details from examples unless you have a legitimate basis and permission to share them.
  • Never publish credentials, contact details or sensitive documents belonging to someone else.

Be responsible with safety and compliance

  • Do not encourage unlawful, unsafe or discriminatory practices.
  • Make clear when a contribution is general experience rather than professional legal, financial, safety or compliance advice.
  • Urgent venue incidents belong in the venue's emergency and escalation process—not in a community thread.

Disclose commercial interests

  • State when you have a financial, employment or referral interest in a recommendation.
  • No deceptive promotion, spam, fake reviews or undisclosed lead generation.
  • Service opportunities will follow separate marketplace rules when that product is ready.

Moderation and reporting

  • HospoTek intends to provide reporting, review and proportionate enforcement before community discussions open.
  • Content may be restricted or removed when it conflicts with these principles or creates a credible safety, privacy or legal risk.
  • Repeated or serious breaches may lead to participation limits. A formal appeals process is still to be designed.
