Where must the Permit to Operate a Food Service Establishment be displayed?

The Permit to Operate a Food Service Establishment must be displayed in public view to ensure transparency and compliance with local health regulations. Displaying the permit visibly allows patrons to verify that the establishment is licensed and meets the required health and safety standards set by local food safety authorities. This practice builds trust with customers, as they can be assured that the food service establishment is authorized to operate and is monitored for compliance with health regulations.

Displaying the permit in areas such as a manager's office or a staff area does not fulfill the requirement of being in public view, as it would not be accessible to customers. Likewise, while including the permit on a restaurant's website is useful for providing information, it does not replace the need for it to be physically displayed at the location where food is served. Having the permit accessible for customers is a fundamental aspect of operational transparency in the food service industry.
