Membership That Pays for Itself
Running a hotel, restaurant, resort, or campground in Minnesota means watching every dollar, and Hospitality Minnesota membership is designed to help you keep more of them.
Members get exclusive access to cost-saving programs and discounts available only to our members, covering the everyday expenses that add up fast, from insurance and payment processing to supplies, services, and staff training. For many members, these savings alone more than cover the cost of dues.
On top of that, you gain a strong voice at the State Capitol, industry resources, and a statewide network of hospitality professionals. Membership isn’t an expense; it’s an investment that delivers real, measurable returns to your business.
Exclusive DIRECTV for Business Savings: Give your guests a reason to stay for one more round.
As a Hospitality Minnesota member, you have access to special pricing on DIRECTV for Business through the National Restaurant Association’s member savings program. Whether you run a neighborhood bar, a family restaurant, or a hotel lobby lounge, the right entertainment keeps guests in their seats longer, brings them back for the big game, and turns first-time visitors into regulars.
- Programming that fits your space: Choose from packages designed for bars and restaurants, hotel guest rooms, lobbies, waiting areas, and back-of-house break rooms. Show sports on the main screens and news or music elsewhere.
- Built for commercial use: Residential subscriptions aren’t licensed for public viewing in a business. DIRECTV for Business provides properly licensed service, so you can entertain guests with confidence.
- Reliable service and support: Get commercial-grade equipment, professional installation, and support from a team that understands hospitality businesses.
