Restaurants & F&B

FSSAI, GST composition, labour compliance for F&B

Restaurants live in a tight compliance window — FSSAI, 5% GST without ITC (or 18% with ITC), shops & establishment, labour codes and aggregator-side TCS.

We handle the full F&B stack: FSSAI registration and renewal, monthly GST under 5% composition, labour compliance for service staff, and franchise / multi-outlet structuring.

Compliance challenges we solve

  • GST 5% vs 18%

    Composition removes ITC; 18% lets you claim. We model both for your margin profile.

  • Aggregator TCS

    Zomato / Swiggy collect TCS at 1% and GST under reverse charge — we reconcile every month.

  • FSSAI

    Basic / state / central FSSAI based on turnover; renewal before expiry.

  • Labour codes

    Shops & Estab, Provident Fund and contract labour — designed for kitchen + service staff.
