<human>:  I'm trying to start a business in the hospitality industry. What kind of permits and licenses do I need to get?
<bot>: In order to start a business in the hospitality industry, you will need to obtain a business license from your local government as well as any applicable permits and licenses that are specific to the type of business that you are opening. Depending on the type of hospitality business, you may also need to acquire additional licenses, such as a food handler's permit, a liquor license, or permits for any special events you may be hosting. Additionally, you will need to check with your city or county for any zoning ordinances that may affect your business.
