"Food, clothing, housing and transportation" are the four basic needs of people, and the catering market has never been weak. With the improvement of people's living standards, China ushered in a period of great development of the catering industry, which made many entrepreneurs see business opportunities. In recent years, the national market supervision department has been taking various measures to relax the access restrictions of catering operators. For example, in Guangxi, in addition to the food business license, catering operators can also apply for registration certificates for small food workshops and restaurants according to their own conditions, or get registration cards for food vendors and registration documents for small grocery stores.

The Registration Certificate of Small Food Workshop is applicable to small food workshops with fixed production sites, few employees, small production and processing scale, no pre-packaged or simple packaged food and fixed sales scope (except for the existing system and the current sale). Small catering registration certificate is applicable to small restaurants and snack bars with fixed stores or venues, few employees, simple conditions and business premises less than 50 square meters. The process of handling the small catering registration certificate is simpler than that of the food business license, which generally does not exceed 10 working days, but it is also subject to the on-site inspection of the business premises by the supervisors of the Food and Drug Administration.
