A private membership for hospitality operators.
Stay ahead of compliance. Get real answers from operators who've been there.
Built for owners, managers, and operators of bars, restaurants, cafes, hotels and hospitality venues.
What HPA is, and why it exists.
Running a hospitality business is hard, and getting harder every year. Labor cost, compliance, staffing, margin pressure — the list only grows. And most owners, managers, and operators face all of it alone. Hospitality Peer Alliance exists to change that.
We're a private, member-only alliance built around what actually matters day to day: staying compliant without needing a full-time HR generalist, benchmarking your operation against real peers, and connecting you with a curated group of operators running the same fight. No advocacy politics. No pay-to-play vendor pitches. Just the boring, high-leverage tools that make your week easier and your P&L stronger. Flat $49 per month per venue. Cancel any time.
Three things every operator needs. One membership.
STAY COMPLIANT
Monthly detailed contents on labor law, alcohol licensing, health code, and the deadlines that catch operators off guard - written for owners and managers who don't have time to read the whole bill.
DECIDE FASTER
Quarterly peer benchmarks on labor cost, food cost, average check, and turnover — see how your operation stacks up against venues of similar size and concept, and cut the guesswork out of your next hire, price change, or menu rework.
CONNECT WITH PEERS
A rolling events calendar of mixers, roundtables, and industry gatherings - paired with a private forum where operators trade vendor recommendations, compliance sanity checks, and honest answers to the questions you'd rather not post publicly.
Everything included in your monthly membership.
No tiers. No add-ons. No upsells. Every operator gets the full stack the day their first payment clears.

Chambers serve every industry. HPA serves only bars, restaurants, cafes, hotels, and hospitality operators — every conversation, briefing, and benchmark is directly relevant.

State associations are great advocacy organizations at the state level. HPA is operator-to-operator: private forum, compliance briefings, benchmarking, in-person events with peers you see monthly.

No — autopay is silent by design. Your card statement shows "HPA MEMBERSHIP $49" each month. If you need a receipt or want to update payment method, everything is in your member portal.
Can more than one person from my venue join?
The $49/month covers one venue and up to five named participants.
How is my data protected in benchmarking?
All submissions are anonymized and aggregated before any member sees a report. Your individual data is never shared.
Is this legal / tax / HR advice?
No. HPA content is informational only. For formal advice use a licensed professional — several are in the Vendor Directory.
