Getting Started |
We know that it can be hard to get started with your food business. So this is what we suggest you do:
 |
Read our "Getting Started Guide" which explains what you need to do for the Health Department and us. |
 |
Contact us before submitting any forms. That way, we can make sure that everything has been completed correctly which will help you get your permit as quickly as possible. |
 |
Send the forms to the City of Austin Health Department or drop them off in person. The City will contact you to arrange an inspection time (we do not need to be present). As sson as your inspection is complete and you are approved, you are ready to go! |
|
| If you are just interested in using our kitchen for a single event (a dinner party, a team-building event or an event like this), please contact us to discuss your options as you may not need
to be fully permitted |
