Hinweise zur Zuständigkeit
The application for a provisional gastronomy permit must be submitted to the public order office in whose district your business premises are located.
Only 1 application must be submitted for the provisional and the final gastronomy permit. During the examination of the licensing requirements in the preliminary procedure, the gastronomy can already be operated. If you intend to change the type of operation or premises of the existing gastronomy, the gastronomy may only be operated to the extent of the previous permit during the period of the provisional gastronomy permit.
