What licenses and permits do I need to legally open and operate a restaurant?
To legally open and operate a restaurant, you typically need business registration and tax setup, a food establishment or health permit with inspections, and fire and building approvals for the premises. Depending on your concept and location, you may also need an alcohol license, zoning or outdoor seating permissions, signage permits, and music or entertainment licensing.
