Restaurant waiters mainly need to submit the following documents: ID card, family planning certificate, unemployment certificate (or temporary residence permit) and health certificate. Other documents are not required, but they can be used as qualification materials.

I don't know what you mean by restaurant license. If it is a certificate such as a restaurant waiter's qualification certificate, although the Labor Bureau has documents requiring certificates, it is not a hard requirement, and it will not affect employment if it is not provided, so the restaurant cannot force employees to handle it; If you don't want to deal with this situation, the restaurant can't force it.

But if you want to do this industry, having this certificate is better than not having a qualification certificate, so it is an extra stepping stone.
