The City of Philadelphia is excited to welcome your food business to its outstanding array of restaurants and other food establishments. These instructions are designed to help guide you through the process of completing the required plan review application for a stationary food establishment.  \nAs a food business owner, you are required to submit a Food Business Plan Review Application and all related attachments to the Office of Food Protection, Philadelphia Department of Public Health (PDPH) . The PDPH will evaluate the submitted materials for compliance with the City’s Regulations Governing Food Establishments.  \nYour Food Business Plan Review Application should be submitted AFTER zoning has been approved but BEFORE beginning construction that is covered in the plan review (e.g., modification of the interior or installation of food equipment) . You may incur additional fees if you begin construction before receiving plan review approval.  \nThe plan review process has been designed to help food business owners. Plan review not only provides the PDPH with the required information, but it also can identify potential problems while still on paper and help to prevent costly modifications later. Issues for plan review include but are not limited to site and floor plans, equipment and specifications, ventilation, plumbing and electric, restroom facilities, surface finishes, refrigeration, and menu. A checklist of all required information and attachments can be found on page 28.  \nFor more information, please call: Philadelphia Department of Public Health Office of Food Protection  \n7801 Essington Avenue  \n(215) 685-7495  \n[https://www.phila.gov/departments/department-of-public-health/for-business-owners/food/](https://www.phila.gov/departments/department-of-public-health/for-business-owners/food/)  \nWhere to Submit Completed Plan Review Application  \nYou may submit the Food Business Plan Review Application in person or by mail. Do not submit any fees when you submit the application. The Office of Food Protection will conduct a preliminary review of your application and mail or email (upon request) you a Plan Review Worksheet and Fee Assessment Letter within 30 business days. The worksheet will indicate if additional information is required.  \nAfter your completed worksheet and fee are received, the Department of Public Health will notify you of a decision in 30 business days.  \nIf your application is approved, you will receive instructions on how to schedule an inspection.  \nMost inspections can be scheduled within 10 business days.  \nIf your application is missing information needed for approval, you will be notified and have 30 business days in which to respond.  \nYou can submit your plan by mail or in person at the following address:  \nPhiladelphia Department of Pu","cbCaiuEwp0P9GxIt","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuEwp0P9GxIt","pdf",1502155,36,"English","# Welcome and Introduction\n## Where to Submit Plan Review Application\n## Fee Schedule\n## Flow Chart and Timeframes\n## Plan Review Instructions\n## A.
