The catering sector in Poland
The catering sector in Poland has a dynamic evolution: these types of establishments are diverse and are adapting to the changes in consumer preferences and attitude. An important factor for the growing demand for these types of establishments is the economic growth in Poland and the development in other business sectors, like tourism.
Revenue in the catering sector is mainly generated by food production, followed by the sale of beverages (including alcohol) and tobacco.
Those who open a Polish company that activates in the catering market can choose to incorporate in one of the main cities like Warsaw or Wroclaw.
Opening a company in Poland
Catering companies in Poland undertake activities that involve the preparation and sale of food and drinks. Restaurants, bars, canteens, street food establishments and any other type of company that is involved in the preparation, storage, and sale of food and drink (including alcoholic drinks) must obtain the relevant special permits and licenses from the Polish authorities. These licenses not only target the safe and proper preparation of food and drinks but also confirm that the location is suitable and safe for clients.
Investors who want to open a company in Poland and are in need of more information on how to apply for these permits can talk to one of our company formation agents.
All Polish companies need to be registered with the National Court Register. Registration for VAT purposes also applies.
