Approximately 261,227 real businesses operate in the Accommodation and Food Service Activities sector across United States. The hotel's name on the sign and the company that owns the building are usually not the same entity — and neither of those is necessarily the one running day-to-day operations. Hospitality routinely separates the property owner from the brand licensor from the operating manager, across hotels, resorts, restaurants, and catering. Verifying who owns a given hotel means picking which of those three questions you are actually asking.

Analysis
What this data actually tells you
Food-service licensing in the United States is genuinely fragmented at the local level: more than 3,000 state, local, and tribal agencies hold primary responsibility for inspecting and licensing over 1 million retail food establishments nationwide, including restaurants, grocery stores, vending, and institutional food service. The FDA’s Food Code is only a voluntary model code, adopted inconsistently by states and localities rather than imposed as binding federal law — a meaningful contrast to the more centralized food-safety regimes common elsewhere in this directory.
By scale, the restaurant industry generated roughly $1.1 trillion in sales in 2024, employing approximately 15.7 million people (National Restaurant Association, 2024 data), making it one of the largest employers of any sector covered in this directory. Counterparties verify a specific establishment’s actual current local health-department licensing directly, given the absence of a single national accommodation/food-service regulator.
