Legal analysis: bakeries and patisseries, tea rooms, sushi and pizza stores without stoves, noodle stores (including baozi stores, wonton stores and noodle stores), congee stores, and hot and cold beverage stores (e.g., coffee shops) that use clean energy and do not produce oil smoke.

But if these restaurants also sell foods that require the use of stoves and generate fumes during the production process, such as French fries, fried chicken wings, fried noodles or even stir-fried vegetables, they must still fulfill environmental approval procedures.

According to the relevant provisions of the "Management Catalog for Environmental Impact Assessment of Construction Projects", more than six baseline stoves in the catering industry and the design of sensitive areas are required to do an environmental impact report form, while the rest do not need to do an EIA.
