You can't legally comply with food safety regulations without following the requirements in order to open a restaurant. However, there are some options you could explore if you're looking to limit or waive certain food safety regulations. One option is partnering with experienced chefs who already have their own certification and licenses in place. Additionally, looking into alternatives like private labeling or home delivery services might help create a more flexible approach to your business structure while still adhering to safety standards. Lastly, if you are planning on serving pre-packaged and pre-cooked meals then it’s likely that those meals have already undergone safety testing so your restaurant will not be responsible for retesting these items since they already have an independent certification of safety on file.

Yes, there are several options available to you. One way to reduce liability and still remain compliant is to work with a food service consultant. Another possible option is to obtain either a retail food establishment or mobile food vending permit that meets the local health code requirements. This will give you leeway in how you setup and operate your restaurant, including reducing some safety precautions.
