  MORE DETAILED: HOOKAH BUSINESS

Hookah businessis quite an original and relatively new type of entrepreneurship, but at the same time enjoys sufficient popularity among the population. It is worth noting that we have practically no separate purely hookah establishments, as a rule they are opened in places where you can not only smoke a hookah, but also have a delicious meal.

It is possible to open your own hookah business in two ways:

• On the basis of an existing (working) cafe, restaurant, bar, etc.;
• Creating from scratch a catering establishment with a hookah.

Both methods have their drawbacks and positive aspects. The first method is a little easier, since it requires the organization and refinement of only a hookah bar without preparing a bunch of documents and permits for catering establishments. The second is much more voluminous and naturally costly, but at the same time it has more opportunities to realize the fantasy of design, decoration, placement, etc. without reference to the already existing layout.

Opening a cafe or a hookah restaurant is not always an easy task. To date, the work of these institutions is complicated by the ban on smoking in public places, catering, cafes, restaurants and similar establishments. But there is a completely legal way to circumvent this ban and open your own hookah business.

This can be realized by preparing a separate specially equipped room. Thus, according to Article 13 of the Law No. 2899-IV of 22.09.2005, owners, or persons authorized by them, as well as tenants of these structures or individual premises are required to allocate special places for smoking, the area of which should not exceed 10 percent of the total area of such a structure. In addition, these rooms must be equipped with special exhaust ventilation or other means to remove tobacco smoke. In addition, information should be placed in specially designated hookah rooms that smoking is harmful to health and that it is here that there is a place for smoking.

If you have sorted out the premises, then you also need to take care of a license for tobacco products, and if you plan to sell alcoholic beverages in your restaurant (cafe, bar, etc.), then you will also need an alcohol license.

Among other things, you may need a permit from the Sanitary and epidemiological station , fire inspection, obtaining a trade patent, preparation of diverse contracts, constituent documents, registration of the company and assistance in registration of employees. Therefore, in order not to miss important and fundamental legal details when opening a hookah bar, in order to avoid problems and fines and formalize your business properly in accordance with current legislation, it is best to seek help from a EUROVECTOR LAW COMPANY specializing in this area.

 ATTENTION

Hookah business today is a little competitive business and this is not surprising, because the opening of a hookah bar has its own legal features and legal restrictions. First of all, this is due to the fact that Article 13 of the Law of Ukraine No. 2899-IV of 22.09.2005 prohibits smoking, including hookahs in public places: entrances of residential buildings, public transport, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, playgrounds, bus stops and so on and, among other things, in the premises of institutions restaurant management..

Such a restriction, of course, creates some obstacles for entrepreneurs of this niche, but it also ensures that you do not have high competition, which will certainly have a positive impact on the pricing possibilities of your hookah bar and will naturally have a positive effect on the number of your regular customers.

It is worth noting that the legislation establishes additional requirements to place special information signs with the inscription: "Smoking is prohibited!" in establishments where smoking is prohibited, using a special sign prohibiting smoking.

And when we talk about the need to open a hookah bar, where smoking is a self-evident moment, then in this case, in your cafe, restaurant or other catering establishment, on the basis of which you plan to open your hookah bar, it will be necessary to create a place specially designed for smoking-a room whose area should not exceed 10% of the total area establishments. In addition, in such a specially designated place, it is also necessary to install a sign that will consist of a graphic sign and an inscription: "A smoking area. Smoking is harmful to your health!".

 DOCUMENTS

The list of documents that are required when opening a hookah bar is individual, as it depends on the stage of paperwork, the availability of permits and whether you plan to open a hookah business based on a ready-made cafe or restaurant or start from scratch. Our specialists will promptly provide you with an complete list of these documents and conduct legal advice, in the context of which they will tell you in detail all the nuances and features of opening such an institution, as well as familiarize you with the stages of legal construction of a hookah business.
