CitizenM seems like a natural fit for IHG or Accor.
The fact that JSX has drawn so much attention from the majors leads me to believe that they are all frightened of the potential they have.
Dean Redmond seems unhinged. It was a takeout order that simply requires be paid for and given to the customer. No service (taking customers to a clean table, taking their order, making sure that they have clean plates and utensils, serving food and drinks, refilling drinks, etc.) equals no tip for service. As a server, he shouldn’t be dealing with it. Everyone dealing with take out food should legally be being paid at least minimum wage while they are doing that work. Since the customer got less than what she was supposed to get, a bad revue was not out of order. The food should have came with everything it would have had if a customer had chose to dine in with the possible exception being if it was a fast food place with a self serve station for the drinks on carryout orders.
The Airbnb renter with the valid contract should have called the police to sort it out after the new person invaded. Different states have different laws but the report by the police would add legal paperwork to claims against various parties.
