Advertisement of a restaurant
- Anyone wishing to run a restaurant must notify the competent authority at least 4 weeks before the first offering of drinks or prepared food for consumption on the spot, even if it is only to be run for a short period of time.
- This also applies to the operation of a branch, a dependent branch, to the relocation of the permanent establishment and to the extension of the offer to alcoholic beverages or prepared food.
- A restaurant business also exists if the offer of prepared food and/or beverages for consumption on the spot is commercially available as a secondary business - e.g. as a supplementary offer from a bakery, butcher's shop, etc. - or as an incentive to consume.
Who should I contact?
This procedure can also be handled by a "Point of Single Contact". The "Point of Single Contact" is a special service offered by the municipalities and the state for service providers.
