Stop 70% of F&B Penalties. 100% Compliance for Restaurants, Cloud Kitchens, and Hotels: EPF, ESIC, & FSSAI.

As an F&B operator, you are fighting a two-front war: Food Safety (FSSAI) and Employee Welfare (Labour Laws). The frequent hiring and firing, variable shift hours, and state-level wage rules make compliance a daily risk, unlike any other sector.

The F&B Owner's Reality

Running an F&B business comes with intense compliance pressure. High employee turnover means constant UAN/IP updates and settlements—any delay can trigger EPF notices. Rapidly changing state-specific minimum wages for unskilled and semi-skilled staff make payroll compliance risky, with heavy fines during inspections. On top of that, FSSAI non-compliance on hygiene or documentation can lead to penalties of up to ₹10 lakh or even temporary shutdowns. We help F&B owners stay fully compliant, protected, and audit-ready at all times.

The EPFDesk Solution

We provide an integrated compliance firewall for your entire operation, ensuring both your kitchen and your payroll are 100% audit-proof.

Your Integrated F&B Compliance Checklist: Dual Protection

We manage the statutory burden across your two highest-risk areas, allowing you to focus on the menu and the customer experience.

Labour Law (EPF/ESIC)

F&B and hospitality businesses struggle with variable daily/hourly wages and high staff attrition, which often results in PF miscalculations and delayed settlements. We solve this with automated ESIC wage filtering that instantly identifies ESIC-eligible employees (<₹21,000) even with fluctuating shifts. We also complete instant exit formalities to ensure employees receive timely PF withdrawal documents—eliminating errors, delays, and compliance risks.

Minimum Wages Act

F&B chains operating across cities like Bangalore, Pune, and Chennai must constantly track different minimum wage rates for kitchen and service staff—creating a high-risk compliance burden. We solve this with a Pan-India Minimum Wage Matrix, automatically updating every state’s wage changes and integrating them directly into your payroll system to ensure guaranteed, audit-proof compliance across all outlets.

FSSAI Documentation

F&B outlets frequently miss FSSAI license renewal deadlines and fail to maintain mandatory hygiene and water-testing records—both major triggers for penalties and compliance action. We provide FSSAI license renewal tracking along with complete support for maintaining all required FSSAI registers, ensuring your outlet stays fully compliant and inspection-ready at all times.

Local Laws (S&E Act)

F&B outlets must comply with strict Shops & Establishment Act rules on working hours, weekly offs, overtime, and especially protocols for women working night shifts. Inspectors regularly verify shift rosters and compliance with local police and labour authority requirements. We provide S&E Act advisory to ensure your shift schedules, overtime records, and leave policies meet all state-specific regulations—keeping your outlet fully compliant and inspection-ready.
