Catering trade, apply for a permit for a special occasion
service description
If you want to operate a catering business that requires a permit and serve alcohol as part of a temporary event (e.g. funfair, town festival, shooting festival) or for another limited reason (e.g. canteen on the occasion of a major construction site), you can apply for a temporary permit (permit) under simplified conditions. Permission is revoked.
Permission is also required if you have an itinerant trade card. Conversely, you do not need an itinerant trade license for a specific event if you already have a permit for this (Section 55a Paragraph 1 No. 7 GewO).
If you want to regularly take part in a certain recurring event with your catering business (e.g. at an annual folk festival), there is an alternative to repeatedly applying for a permit. If nothing changes in the spatial conditions or the mode of operation of your business, a permanent permit can be considered. However, the granting of such a permit says nothing about the allocation of a stand at the respective event.
Since a permit is only granted for a specific event, i.e. for a limited period of time, it is subject to less stringent requirements than the granting of a permanent restaurant permit.
