A restaurant without a company cannot hold the rush.
Sanitary authorization
Food sector establishments must be sanitarily approved or authorized before operating (law 28-07, article 5).
10% VAT
Restaurant operations benefit from the 10% rate with the right to deduct input VAT (2026 Tax Code, article 99-B-1°).
Assets protected
The SARL separates your personal assets from the restaurant: a dispute or inspection never reaches your home.
Team declared
The CNSS requires affiliation within the month of hiring your first employee or apprentice, with salary declarations.

Everything we get asked about restaurants.
Is there a « restaurant license » in Morocco?
No single national license was found in the texts consulted. Two regimes coexist: the sanitary authorization of law 28-07 for any food activity, and the « tourist restaurant » classification of law 80-14 if you seek that status. Your Charikaty legal advisor maps what applies to your project.
What is the sanitary authorization, concretely?
Article 5 of law 28-07 requires food sector establishments to be sanitarily approved or authorized before operating. Article 9 requires guaranteeing safe products and setting up a self-monitoring programme or an approved good-practice guide, with documents kept for at least 5 years.
Should I have my restaurant classified as « tourist »?
It is a specific regime, not a general obligation: article 25 of law 80-14 provides for classification based on size, operation, hygiene, service and management standards. The application is filed electronically with the CRI (decree 2-23-441, articles 42 to 49): inspection at 100% of mandatory standards and at least 70% of complementary points, reports within 14 days, decision within 2 days. Article 28 requires insurance, price display and an itemized bill or receipt.
Does a snack bar or food-truck follow the same rules?
Yes for the sanitary baseline: law 28-07 covers the production, processing, distribution and sale of foodstuffs, whatever the format. No single national municipal authorization procedure governs ordinary restaurants, snack bars or food-trucks: location and public domain use are checked with your municipality.
What are the risks if I neglect food safety?
Article 25 of law 28-07 punishes placing a dangerous product on the market or operating a non-approved establishment when approval is required with 2 to 6 months in prison and/or a fine of 50,000 to 100,000 DH. For a tourist restaurant, missing insurance costs 50,000 to 500,000 DH with possible temporary closure of up to 6 months (law 80-14, article 44).
