Types of licenses you need to open a burger restaurant
1. Business Activity or Opening License
This is the fundamental permit granted by the local government, ensuring that the premises meet the necessary safety, accessibility, and hygiene standards to operate. Most commonly, this will be a Qualified Activity License or an Environmental Declaration, required if the business generates noise, odors, or emissions that need corrective measures.
2. Construction Permit (If Required)
If the premises need renovations or adaptations to meet regulations, obtaining a construction permit will be necessary. This can be a minor permit (for small modifications) or a major permit (for structural renovations).
3. Health License
Since food handling is involved, compliance with health and food safety regulations is mandatory. This often requires an inspection by the relevant health authorities.
4. Health Registration and Food Handling Certification
The business must be registered with the Food Business Health Registry and ensure that staff meet food handling training requirements.
5. Outdoor Seating License (Optional)
If you plan to have tables outside your establishment, you must request a specific permit from the local government, complying with public space occupancy regulations.
6. Other Permits
Depending on the location and characteristics of your burger restaurant, additional licenses may be required, such as smoke extraction permits or environmental impact authorization.
