Setting Up a Korean Restaurant or F&B Brand in India

Korean food's popularity has opened a real opportunity for Korean restaurant and F&B brands in India. Launching one involves food licensing, local setup, and often ingredient imports.

Entity & Licenses

• Set up an Indian company or partner via franchise.
• FSSAI license for the restaurant/kitchen.
• Local trade license, GST, and fire/health NOCs.

Importing Ingredients

Authentic Korean ingredients may need an FSSAI import license and compliant labeling — plan your supply chain early.

Franchise vs Own Outlets

Franchising scales faster with local partners; company-owned outlets give control. Many Korean brands enter via a master franchise.
