Cloud Kitchen FSSAI

Everything Cloud Kitchens Need

A cloud kitchen (also called dark kitchen or ghost kitchen) operates without a dine-in area, taking orders only through delivery platforms. Despite being delivery-only, FSSAI license is mandatory — Zomato and Swiggy will not onboard any cloud kitchen without a valid FSSAI number.

Cloud kitchens with multiple virtual brands operating from the same kitchen premises need only one FSSAI license — but all brand names should ideally be covered. We advise on the most efficient approach.

FAQ

Cloud Kitchen FSSAI FAQs

Yes. If all brands operate from the same kitchen premises, one FSSAI State License is sufficient. The license is for the premises (kitchen), not individual brands. However, it's advisable to mention all brand names in your application. If you operate from multiple kitchen locations, each location needs its own license.
Apply immediately. In the meantime, you can request Zomato to onboard with your FSSAI acknowledgment receipt (which is issued within 24–48 hours of filing). Zomato and Swiggy typically allow listing with the application acknowledgment while the full license is being processed. Contact us for urgent processing.
FSSAI does not differentiate between delivery-only and dine-in kitchens. Both need State License for the same turnover range. The food categories selected and inspection checklist are similar. Cloud kitchens don't need to show dining area — only kitchen, storage, and hygiene compliance.
