Who needs a food and beverage service establishment license in Minnesota?
Issued by Minnesota Department of Health, or your delegated city or county health department (Minneapolis, St. Paul, Hennepin County and others), at step 4 of 6 in the opening sequence: get the permits for your kind of business.
Submit the plan review with the menu, the floor plan and the equipment list before building out, pass the pre-opening inspection, then post the license. Restaurants, bars, coffee shops, bakeries and ice cream shops are all food and beverage service establishments under the code. Opening without a license adds a penalty fee. Find out first whether your city or county is a delegated agency, since then the application, fee and inspection are all local.
