Municipal & Licensing
Open a Restaurant
Licensing for your restaurant or café, from the CR to the municipal license and safety certificate.
Opening a restaurant or café involves a chain of linked requirements: a CR with the right food activity, premises zoned for the activity with a registered lease, a municipal license through Balady under restaurant requirements, a civil defense safety certificate and health certificates for staff. Tasami arranges these steps in the right order so a missing paper does not delay your opening.
