The difference between a food business license and a catering service license lies in its nature, code, registered documents and the filling of invoices. Food business license and catering license are considered to be different. The catering service license is for enterprises involved in the production and processing of food. The food circulation license is for enterprises that sell stereotyped packaged food.

I. Differences between food business licenses and catering service licenses The differences between food business licenses and catering service licenses are as follows: (1) The numbers of food business licenses with different natures are generally formed by taking the third to seventeenth digits of the unified social credit code. The difference between the two is mainly due to their different nature. The taxpayer identification number is mainly used for tax payment, while the catering service license refers to the logo of the enterprise. (2) The different food business licenses of the application departments are the industrial and commercial business license codes, and the catering service license is the certificate provided when going to the tax bureau to do business. (III) Coding the number of different food business licenses is represented by 18-digit Arabic numerals or capital English letters, which consists of five parts: the registration management department code (1 digits), the organization category code (1 digits), the administrative division code of the registration management organ (6 digits), the subject identification code (organization code) (9 digits) and the check code (1 digits). The catering service licenses are all composed of 15-digit, 17-digit, 18-digit or 21-digit codes (character type), among which: taxpayers of enterprises, institutions and other organizations use the 9-digit code compiled by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (in which the "-"symbol between the main code and the check bit is omitted and not printed), and the 6-digit administrative division code * * 15-digit code is added in front of it. (IV) Different registration documents The food business license is usually referred to as the "tax number" for short. The catering service license is the number on the tax registration certificate, and the identification number of each enterprise is unique. The catering service license is registered on the business license. (V) The information filled in when invoicing is different. The purchaser needs to fill in the uniform social credit code of the purchaser in the column of "Purchaser taxpayer identification number" of the catering service license. If the purchaser is an enterprise, a unified social credit code shall be provided to the seller when requesting an ordinary VAT invoice. When the seller issues an ordinary VAT invoice for it, it should fill in the taxpayer identification number of the buyer in the column of "taxpayer identification number of the buyer". Invoices that do not meet the requirements shall not be used as tax vouchers. The food business license is unique. As long as the taxpayer identification number of this enterprise is found in the tax invoice system, you can query the invoice situation of this enterprise, and you can know whether the enterprise has falsely invoiced.
