The food services PWM requirements do not apply to firms that are not allowed to hire foreign employees, such as
- Individually operated food stalls, such as hawker stalls, coffee shop stalls
- Food court stalls, where the stall licensee does not also hold a SFA Food Shop licence
- Street hawkers
There are some SFA Food Stall licensees that also hold SFA Food Shop licences.
For example, a coffee shop/food court main operator that operates a food stall in addition to managing the coffee shop/food court.
If such firms hire foreign employees on a Work Permit, S Pass, or Employment Pass, they will have to comply with the food services PWM requirements for employees working at both the food shop and food stall.
