Why do pubs have rules?

Pubs, like any business, set rules to create a pleasant environment for everyone. Wetherspoons' new ban on speakerphone use is a good example, aiming to reduce noise and improve the customer experience. These rules help manage behaviour, ensure safety, and maintain the specific atmosphere a pub chain wants to cultivate across its many venues.
