What permits do I need before opening a new restaurant location?

Health permits, liquor license, signage, grease trap — the list feels overwhelming. What order should I tackle these in?

Same stack in most cities: health, fire, grease, signage, liquor. The local twist is whether the grease interceptor is on the city side or tenant side of the property line.

If you are in a second generation room, ask for the last health report before you file anything new. You may be inheriting a punch list.
