Q: I have been thinking about opening a new restaurant, what does the Department Health (DOH) require me to do?
A: 1. Submit the following for all new establishments to the DOH: One set of plans prepared by an architect or engineer Completed Plan Review Application (accompanied by a $210 fee) Health Permit Application (accompanied by a $130 fee) Equipment specification/cut sheets
2. Upon completion of the plan review, you will receive written notification approving or denying the plans as submitted.
3. Your establishment will receive a minimum of two (2) inspections. Prior to opening, a construction/plan review inspection will be conducted, by a Plan Review Engineer, at the establishment to ensure compliance with the Saint Louis County Food Code and the approved plans.
4. An operational/opening inspection will be conducted by an Environmental Representative once construction/plan review inspection and approval are obtained. After the operational/opening inspection is completed, your Environmental Representative will advise you if you are permitted to open.
5. If you have questions regarding this process please call 314-615-8900 for assistance. It takes approximately 20 working days for plan review and approval.
Q: How do I contact the Health Department?
A: For more information on restaurant inspections, restaurant licensing, or food safety in general, please contact Saint Louis County Department of Health at 314-615-8900 or food.doh@stlouisco.com
