The officials from public security will come over to inspect the fire and security facilities, fire permit and public place license won¡¯t be issued if they think your facilities don¡¯t meet the requirements. So, before you start the decoration, consult those two authorities about their requirements, or you might risk yourself redecorating the place. For instance, there are specific requirements for the height and location of the vent. Shanghai Health Department will also send people to inspect the place, public & Food Hygiene License will be issued if they find the food and facilities are in compliance the regulations. Besides, they will also check your employees¡¯ health certificates. Annual physical is required for waiters and cooks.
Besides, license for the sale of alcohol, permit for the use of electricity and water, license for special industry, etc, are needed.
You should be very careful with the lease agreement. When the landlord is an individual, the first page of the four-paged property right certificate copy needs to be signed by the landlord, photocopy of the landlord¡¯s ID card with signature needs to be provided. If the landlord is a company, its business license needs to be provided and the first page of the property right copy needs to be stamped. In case the landlord is a sublessor, the letter of authorization of the original landlord, sublease agreement stamped by the original landlord needs to be provided. You have to be sure that the office hasn¡¯t been registered.
Only after all abovementioned issues are properly handled, can you start to apply to SMERT for a Certificate of Approval, to SAIC (State Administration for Industry & Commerce) for a Business License, to the Tax Bureau for a Tax Registration Certificate, then register at the Shanghai Foreign Exchange Bureau, have you an RMB account opened, inject and verify the capital, finally renew the business license.
It would be ideal if you¡¯ve got a few friends who are currently doing catering business in Shanghai. Give them a call and ask them to share their experiences, so you can avoid a lot of wrong decision-makings.

Hi Vincent, Thanks for the article. Could you let me know what¡¯s the Min. required investment capital to have a restaurant management company setting up in Shanghai? Thanks in advance.

Hello David, the minimum registered capital for a catering management company is 140,000 USD.
The amount you should invest should be decided by your own needs. the number branches ( restaurant, bar, coffee house, etc) you¡¯d like to open, how big is the branch, it¡¯s highend or lowend, how many people you will hire.

Hello Vincent,
May I ask if I choose to open a cafe/bakery but not wholly foreign investment, what do I need? Is it a must to have 2 local Shanghainese Friend name so that I can obtain a license?
And also how much of a capital do I need for the register?
Thanks!

Do you mean you will open a cafe/bakery in your Shanghai Friends¡¯ name instead of yours? You can write to me at vincentisv@gmail.com, cause It seems I need more details before I answer your questions.
