What Restaurants Need to Know

Restaurants typically need an FSSAI State License (most common) issued by the State Food Safety authority. The license is premises-specific — each branch needs its own license. It requires physical inspection of your kitchen and dining area.

Your FSSAI license number must be displayed at the entrance and on all food packaging, invoices, and menus. Zomato and Swiggy require it for platform listing.
