If you want to operate a restaurant business that serves alcohol, you generally need a restaurant license.

Irrespective of the restaurant permit discussed here and depending on your offer, you may have to fulfill further registration and licensing obligations, for example in accordance with the Trade Regulation Act and the Crafts Code.

  • in a standing business, i.e. in a permanent establishment, serve drinks (pub business) or prepared food (restaurant business) for consumption on the spot or
  • serve drinks or prepared food for consumption on the premises in a traveling trade (from a fixed business premises only for the duration of an event).

The prerequisite in any case is that the establishment is accessible to everyone.

You do not require a restaurant license if you only serve

  • free samples,
  • prepared food or

to house guests.

Special regulations apply to Straußwirtschaften (§ 14 of the Restaurant Act [GastG]).

The permit is issued for a specific type of business (e.g. pub, discotheque, snack bar) and only applies to the rooms used for the business. A building permit may also be required.

Permission is also required for any expansion of the restaurant business and any changes to the premises.

In the case of civil law partnerships and commercial partnerships, a separate permit is required for each partner. In the case of legal entities and associations without legal capacity, however, only a single restaurant permit is required.

If you wish to take over an existing restaurant business requiring a permit from another person, you can be granted a temporary permit on revocation (usually for 3 months) until the final restaurant permit is issued (§11 GastG). With this permit, the business can also be taken over at short notice.

A permit to act as a deputy (§ 9 GastG) should be applied for if you wish to have the restaurant run by a deputy who will also be responsible to authorities and institutions. The deputy must meet the same criteria regarding personal reliability and suitability as you yourself.

The Citizens' Services Department is divided into the Public Order Department and the Social Affairs and Pensions Department. The Citizens' Services Department is your point of contact for many areas of everyday life. On the one hand, there is the former Public Order Office, where you can register a business or, if you are planning an event, obtain a bar permit. Would you like to celebrate a street party with your neighbors and close the street for it? Perhaps you are annoyed by parking offenders or would like to know whether you, as a resident, are obliged to clean the street? Here too, you can get help from the Citizen Services Department.
