▪ During this era, coffee and tea began to influence the culinary habits of Western Europe.

Tea developed slower than coffee as a common beverage. It became widespread in


England.

▪ During the next century, coffee houses were built all over Europe. In Venice, the famous
cafe Florian on the Piazza San Marco was constructed. The first English coffee house was
in St. Michael’s Alley, London in 1652.

▪ In 1683, kolschitski opened the first coffee house in Central Europe. It was in this coffee
that the first cup of coffee sweetened with honey and milk was served. Coffee houses
became social and library centers as well as the forerunners of cafes and coffee shops at
present. They also helped reduce drunkenness in the European continent.

▪ The advent of stagecoach travel revolutionized hospitality on the road. With the
introduction of the stagecoach, regular stagecoach routes were established, followed by
the building of the stagecoach or coaching inns. At the coaching inns, tired horses were
exchanged with fresh horses and stagecoach passengers were fed and given the
opportunity to rest overnight. Travel was difficult because the roads were full of
potholes and normally soaked in mud.

▪ Other developments of the period included an increase in the quality of inns, the
application of English common law to the hospitality industry, and in France, the
reintroduction of restaurants for public dining.

▪ English common forms the basis of US law. Many of the principles developed in England
in the seventeenth century are still enforced in the United States at present. Before the
application of the common law to inns in the 19600s, innkeepers ran their inns as they
chose. Many would refuse to accommodate travellers, although rooms were available.
Some did this because they did not like the appearance of the traveller. Other did not
like to be disturbed while sleeping at night. Other innkeepers connived with guests who
would warm or steal from other unsuspecting guests.

▪ Early common law required innkeepers to receive all travellers, provided that the
innkeeper had available space and that travellers were in fit condition. This meant that
they were not sick, drunk, dishonest, or exhibiting unpleasant behaviour. Later, common
law established two principles which are now considered basic in the hospitality
industry-the innkeeper should insure the guests’ property and provide for the guests’
safety. These principles are still followed in our laws at present.

By the 1700s, the inns in England were much safer and more comfortable. The mails were an
important element in the development of the hospitality industry. Until the late 1700s, the mail
