The 3,000 deposit for a food service license can be refunded, the deposit as the name suggests is equivalent to a security deposit, then when you do not do this thing, of course, you can ask for the return of the deposit.

But as far as I know for the food service license should not need a deposit, the official steps for the food service license are as follows:

(1) Prepare the required materials, such as food service license application, pre-approval of the name of the proof of use of food service establishments and proof of the layout of the equipment and processes, sanitation facilities, schematic diagrams of these documents and materials.

(2) A copy of the legal representative's ID card, a copy of the certificate of food safety management personnel training and regulations to ensure food safety.

(3) Submit the application to the license window, and the staff will conduct a preliminary examination.

(4) waiting for the review, in line with the provisions of the issuance of "food service license", the review did not need to make up the required materials within five working days.
