Compliance for Restaurants & Food
Anyone who handles food needs an FSSAI licence, and which of the three levels applies depends on turnover and whether you operate across state lines. Cloud kitchens and home bakers selling through an app are squarely inside this — the absence of a dine-in space changes nothing.
The GST position is its own decision. Restaurant service is taxed at a rate that comes without input tax credit, which changes the entire economics of a fit-out. Getting advice before you sign the lease is worth more than any amount of optimisation afterwards.

The traps this sector walks into
Aggregator supplies misreported
For food delivered through an e-commerce operator, the tax responsibility can sit with the operator rather than the restaurant. Reporting the same supply twice is common and expensive.
Input credit assumed on the fit-out
A restaurant paying tax at the concessional rate cannot claim input credit on interiors, equipment or rent. Budgeting as if it can overstates the return on the whole build.
FSSAI level chosen wrong
Basic, State and Central are decided by turnover and by whether you operate inter-state. Applying at the wrong level means reapplying, not upgrading.
Staff registrations missed
Kitchens cross the PF and ESI headcount thresholds quickly, and the liability runs from the date crossed, not the date registered.

The boring things, done reliably.
Compliance is not glamorous work. It is deadlines met, numbers that tie, and someone picking up when you call. That is what we optimise for.

Priced before we start
Every service on this site carries its fee. You get a written scope and a number before any work begins, and the invoice matches it.
Two people on every filing
Nothing goes to a department on one pair of eyes. A second professional reviews the return before it is submitted.
A person, not a ticket
You get a named associate who knows your file, reachable on WhatsApp, not a queue and a different voice every call.
We watch the calendar
Once you are on our books we track your due dates and reach out before the deadline, not after the late fee.
