- crooked-v 5y agoI think people in the US would generally hold that that's a bit too fast, because at a bare minimum you still want a set of basic inspections. For example: - Health inspector to make sure that the place is acceptable for serving food (no bug infestations, freezers are operating at a food-safe temperature, proper equipment for hand-washing and cleaning everything) - Fire inspector to make sure that the exits are accessible and working properly, smoke detectors and other emergency equipment is up to snuff, and that the operators know the allowable maximum capacity of the square footage - Building inspector to make sure that nobody's knocked down a load-bearing wall or otherwise done any unsafe renovations, as well as to make sure that the shop is following local codes (for example, keeping people from putting up 24/7 flashing neon signs in residential areas)
- balfirevic 5y agoFine, a week then.
- username90 5y agoIn Sweden you have to notify authorities two weeks before opening. Not sure why they would need more time than that.
- ardit33 5y agotwo weeks, max... it is duable, but for a government that has contempt against small businesses, it will never make it happen. Also, health inspections are recurring, and something that is done routinely
- pyuser583 5y agoThe latter two can be required if the landlord as a condition of renting a retail zoned space. Regarding health inspection, the big one is sanitation. And that’s not something you just have a guy come in and check before the business opens. You have to inspect actual food, which means you do it after the restraunt opens.
