APPLICATION FOR SINGAPORE FOOD LICENCE
Food shop, food stall, food production facility, central kitchen, cold storage, warehouse, cafe, restaurants, coffee shops and similar establishments.
In Singapore, most food-related businesses—such as food shops, food stalls, and food manufacturing establishments (including cold stores for meat and seafood storage)—must obtain a food licence from the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) before they can operate.
The application process and licensing requirements vary depending on the specific type of food business.
If you’re planning to open a café, restaurant, coffee shop, food court, canteen, snack and drink counter, market produce shop, private market, food catering business, or even a pet-friendly food shop, we are here to support you every step of the way.
We specialize in helping business owners apply for the appropriate licence — either a Food Shop Licence or a Food Stall Licence. The first step is identifying which type of licence your business needs. Generally, Food Shops are standalone outlets such as cafés, restaurants, or KTV lounges that offer dine-in or takeaway services. In contrast, Food Stalls are typically located within hawker centres, canteens, or kopitiams.
