Prepare to register the kiosk

Before you can apply for the concession, you need to prepare for the kiosk to open.

  • You first need a certificate from the health department that you can handle food. For this purpose, you will be given a lecture on the safe and clean handling of food. As soon as you know the regulations, you will receive the certificate for a small processing fee. Depending on the health department, you pay around 25 euros.
  • Then you have to prove that you can work professionally in the hospitality industry. You can either provide evidence of suitable training or complete a course from the Chamber of Industry and Commerce. The costs for this are based on the evidence you are aiming for.
  • You must also present a police clearance certificate. In the best case scenario, this should not contain anything negative. If a previous offense has nothing to do with your future job, it shouldn't be a problem either.
  • Similar to the police clearance certificate, you must also bring an extract from the central trade register with you. This extract is intended to prove that you have not yet closed any business due to violations of certain conditions. You can apply for this extract from your local registration office. This application also costs around 25 euros.

With all the necessary documents, the kiosk license can cost between 50 and 200 euros.
