상해에 있는 대중음식점을 열기 위하여는, 당신은 2개의 선택권을 가지고 있다:

1. 전체로 외국 소유한 캐더링 관리 회사를 설치하십시오.
2. 간단하게 대중음식점을 여십시오

당신이 상해에서 총판권을 허가하거나 당신의 대중음식점을 앞으로는 판매하는 것을 예정하고 싶은 경우에, 선택권 1는 당신을 위해 적합할, 또는 당신은 간단하게 대중음식점을 열 수 있다. 당신은 오피스 지역에 있는 체더링 관리 회사에게 설치해 달라고 하도록 방을 세놓을 필요없다. 체더링 관리 회사 설치를 위해, 대중음식점을 열기를 위한 적당한 장소는 충분하다. 그것이 설치하자마자, 당신은 그것의 분지 회사로 대중음식점, 막대기 또는 다방을 여는 것을 시작할 수 있다. 투자 상담에서 접전하기 위하여 허용되는 체더링 관리 회사부터, 당신이 개통 분지 회사의 때, 사업 상담, 캐더링하는 기업 경영 상담에는 (음식, 디저트, 음료, 알콜) 이미 필수 면허의 대부분이 있고 요식업, 당신에서 접전을 위해 그들을 신청할 필요가 없는다 고려한다.

긴요한 문제점은 대중음식점의 위치이다. 당신이 SMERT에 당신의 신청을 복종시키기 전에 약간 승인 및 면허는 필요하다 (상해 도시 외국 경제 교섭 & 무역 위원회). 상해 환경 국은 대중음식점을 위한 지나치게 요구하는 필요조건을 부과한다. 이웃 거주자에 연기, 하수 오물, 고형 폐기물, 가능한 영향, etc.의 출력은, 긴요한 요인이다. Before you sign the lease agreement with the landlord, invite the officials from Environment Bureau to inspect the place, making sure the location is ok, then hire an environment evaluation agency to make the environment evaluation report. 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.
