Invitees are individuals who have been invited onto someone's property for a business purpose, such as customers in a restaurant. As such, the customers who were exposed to unsafe conditions in Sharon's restaurant would be considered invitees, and Sharon would be responsible for their safety. Licensees are individuals who have permission to be on someone's property, but not for a business purpose. Trespassers are individuals who enter onto someone's property without permission. Sureties and tenants do not apply to this scenario.
