Cloud Kitchen: Now ‘Ghar ka Khana’ is just one click away!

Online Legal India LogoBy Online Legal India Published On 03 Nov 2020 Updated On 18 Oct 2022 Category FSSAI

We all love ‘Ghar Ka Khana’ at the end of the day because of health, taste, and love! To get healthy food anytime, anywhere through digital dining, Cloud Kitchen could be the next clickable destination for the foodies. In a cloud kitchen business, the only thing you have to make an impact on your purchaser is the food item. So, be very much cautious about the dishes, taste, and packaging. Yes, packaging! Be creative in that would be beneficial for you in a long run. Pick up a creative company Logo along with containers, spoons, and other necessary materials.

It is a next-gen food stop initiative functioning on the digital platforms solitarily. Instead of setting up dining facilities in their business premises, a cloud kitchen reaches out to the foodies through its website, application, and the food ordering platforms.

Licenses Required

Allow us to begin with the legal part. Before inaugurating your cloud kitchen, do not forget to acquire the obligatory registrations as directed by the Govt. of India. These licenses not only safeguard your brainchild from the legal hassles, but it creates goodwill for your brand as well.

  • Trade License: Following the norms of the Companies Act, 2013, registering for a trade license is mandatory for every business entity operating in the Indian marketplace. It is the legal recognition of your business in the legal aspects.  
  • FSSAI: A food license from the FSSAI is mandatory for any individual or entity being associated with the food business. FSSAI license is issued to ensure the hygienic quality of the sold food for human consumption. You can get an FSSAI food license based on the annual turnover of your business.
  • GST: To enrol your cloud kitchen in the Indian taxation system, you need to register your business in the GST system. Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a simplified tax collection method that allows you to submit your tax-return monthly, quarterly, and annually. Many online services are available for GST registration.
  • Trademark Registration: How you could be the distinctive entity in the market? Trademark registration is the legal process to preserve your legal right over the artistic properties of your cloud kitchen.  You will be the owner of your company logo, colour, fonts, etc. Now, get your desired company Logo effortlessly by registering a trademark from us.   

Additional Licenses

  • Liquor License- Getting a liquor license is mandatory when you are willing to sell liquor at your restaurant. Having this license is a must since selling liquor without this permit is a punishable offence. You can acquire this license from the Local Excise Commissioner. The forms for this license are available at the respective State Government website.
  • Shop Act License: Be it a fine-dining restaurant, a food truck or an online food delivery, a Shop Act License is essential to obtain. You have got to apply for this license within 30 days from the commencement of the business. This license is regulated by the Department of Labor and state-specific. So registration with the respective State Government is a must.
  • Health Trade License: Businesses like manufacturing units, storage and sale, eating outlets who deal with several goods and services that might cast a direct effect on public health. Therefore, it is compulsory to acquire a Health Trade License. This license can be obtained from the respective Municipal Corporation of your city which has the power to shut the business down which does not have this license.
  • Signage License: You can handle the marketing strategy of your brand through word of mouth, testimonials, posters, placards or images. But after all, building an online presence is indispensable to the existence of your business. To employ various marketing techniques you need to obtain a Signage License which can be acquired from the local municipal corporation.
  • Fire Safety License- It is a legal mandate for the restaurants to protect the customers from all the dangerous things including fire hazards. Hence, a No-Objection-Certificate has to be obtained from the fire department to run a restaurant.
  • Music License- A Food Business Operator would require a music license to be able to play music at the restaurant. This license is issued by the Phonographic Performance Limited or PPL in India. If a restaurant starts playing music within the restaurant premises without the said license then it will be penalized with a legal punishable cost.
