Gastronomy trade – apply for provisional permit

Anyone who wishes to take over a gastronomic business requiring a permit from another operator may be permitted to operate the gastronomic business on a provisional and revocable basis until the final gastronomy permit is issued.

You operate a gastronomic business if, in a standing trade, you

1. serve drinks for consumption on the spot (pub management) or
2. serve prepared food for consumption on the premises (catering),

if the establishment is accessible to everyone or to certain groups of persons.

Permission is required for the gastronomic business only if alcoholic beverages are served. If only non-alcoholic beverages and/or prepared meals are served, the restaurant business does not require a permit and you do not need a temporary restaurant permit.

The provisional gastronomy permit should not be issued for a period longer than three months. The period can be extended if there is an important reason.
