Statewide Hospitality Fee
In 2005, the Minnesota Legislature created a Statewide Hospitality Fee for all food, beverage, and lodging establishments licensed in the state.

A license is required if you plan to sell food or beverages in Minnesota.

• MN Stat, sec. 157.16
• MN Rules, part 4625.1770
  

The type of food sold and your location will determine which state or local agency will issue the license and do the inspections.
