Key facts for KBLI 56104
The essentials a foreign investor needs to know before reading the rest of this page.
Reserved for small Indonesian operators — no foreign ownership KBLI 56104 is set up for warungs, smallholders, individual practitioners and similar small businesses; the licensing rules don't cover larger operations. Foreign-owned companies have to register at the Large business size, so this code isn't available to them. Pick a related KBLI that covers larger operations, or partner with an Indonesian operator who already holds the licence.

Foreign investment rules
Indonesia's BUPM (Investment Business Fields) regulation places this code into one of five tracks. The track determines whether a foreign investor (PMA) can operate in this activity at all, and under what conditions.
Reserved for small Indonesian operators
KBLI 56104 is set up for warungs, smallholders, individual practitioners and similar small businesses — Indonesia's licensing rules only define micro and small business sizes for it. Foreign-owned companies have to register at the Large business size, so even though this code isn't on the official "closed" list, foreign ownership isn't possible in practice. Pick a related KBLI that covers larger operations, or set up a partnership with an Indonesian operator who already holds the licence.
What this means for foreign investors
An honest read of the situation, plus the structures that work in practice. We've handled all of these — book a call to walk through your specific plan.
Move to a different value-chain step
The cleanest path: operate a related but open KBLI. For example, foreign investors blocked from primary commodity production frequently succeed with the processing, distribution, branding, or export-trade codes upstream or downstream of the restricted activity.
Special Economic Zone (KEK) or Free Trade Zone (Batam)
Several restricted codes have higher or full PMA caps inside designated KEK zones (Sanur Health, Lido, Mandalika) or the Batam Free Trade Zone — manufacturing, logistics, and IT services especially. The IUK regime under BP Batam relaxes ownership rules selectively in exchange for export orientation. We assess whether your operation can benefit. See the BP Batam IUK guide for the requirements.
Indonesian-owned operating company + commercial agreement
A 100% Indonesian-owned operating entity can hold the restricted licence while you contract with it commercially. We structure these arrangements deliberately — without nominee shareholding, which is unenforceable and increasingly scrutinised.
These siblings are usable by a foreign-owned PT PMA — they have a Large-scale licensing matrix and aren't on a restricted list. Each has its own context badge so you can pick by trade-off.
What is KBLI 56104?
A plain-English explanation of this classification and the businesses it covers.
KBLI 56104 (Mobile Food Provision/Non-Permanent Locations) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for mobile food provision/temporary place. It sits within Accommodation and Food Service Activities under the subgroup Restaurants and Mobile Food Service Activities (major group 56) in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Statistics Indonesia (BPS).
Who needs KBLI 56104?
Any Indonesian or foreign-owned entity that intends to operate in mobile food provision/temporary place as a primary or secondary business activity must select this code on its NIB (Business Identification Number). The selected code determines the licensing instruments required, the issuing authority, and the ongoing compliance obligations.
Why does the code matter?
Indonesia's OSS Risk-Based Approach uses the KBLI code to determine three things: (1) whether foreign investment is permitted and at what cap, (2) the risk-based licensing instruments required, and (3) the authority that issues each instrument. Choosing the wrong code can delay or invalidate your license.
Food & beverage service-specific guidance
Sector context that applies to KBLI 56104 beyond the generic OSS process. Verify with the relevant ministry before committing capital.
- ·Restaurants are open to PMA but smaller-scale food stalls (warung) are reserved for SMEs.
- ·Hygiene & sanitation certification (SLS), halal certification, and TDUP common requirements.
- ·Alcohol-serving establishments require additional municipal permits.
Halal certification
Indonesia requires BPJPH Halal certification for an expanding range of consumer-product categories. This KBLI's activities fall in scope — see what's required and when.
Most foreign-owned F&B brands in Indonesia get Halal-certified.
Halal certification isn't legally mandatory for restaurants yet — but in practice, foreign brands targeting modern trade, malls, hotels, or franchise channels almost always obtain it. Without certification, you'll struggle to land in shopping centres and risk consumer pushback in any market outside Bali. We handle the BPJPH application, kitchen audit, and supply-chain documentation.
- 01
Audit & gap analysis
Review your formulation, supply chain, and facility against BPJPH criteria. Identify ingredients or processes that need swapping.
- 02
LPH inspection
An accredited Halal Inspection Body (LPPOM-MUI is the largest) audits the facility and reviews documentation.
- 03
BPJPH issuance
The Halal certificate is issued under the BPJPH register and the Halal label can be applied to packaging.
Under the upcoming KBLI 2025
Indonesia's BPS published the new KBLI 2025 taxonomy in early 2025. OSS, BKPM and the operating ministries have not yet adopted it — KBLI 2020 remains the active standard for business registration. This is what's coming for this specific code.
Reorganised in KBLI 2025
KBLI 56104 does not carry the same number forward into KBLI 2025 — the activity has been reclassified, but the precise mapping isn't recorded in our database yet.
- ·For current operations, KBLI 56104 remains valid — OSS still uses KBLI 2020 for all business registrations.
- ·The KBLI 2025 successor codes are listed in the official BPS transition document below; check for the activity-specific mapping when planning future structures.
- ·Once OSS announces the KBLI 2025 cutover, existing entities will need to update their primary KBLI to the relevant successor — typically straightforward.
When OSS adopts KBLI 2025, we'll migrate your existing entity to the appropriate successor code as part of ongoing compliance — no action needed on your end now.

The data below is the official OSS regulatory profile for this code. It applies to qualifying Indonesian operators (or to your operating partner). Foreign investors won't file these directly, but it's useful context when structuring a partnership or commercial arrangement.
Foreign investors: the licensing matrix below is for context only — direct PMA registration isn't possible for this code. See pathways above for what actually works.
Risk level by business scale
Indonesia's OSS Risk-Based Approach assigns a separate risk level for each of the four business scales. The licensing instruments required (NIB, Standard Certificate, Operating License) are determined by the risk level. Foreign-owned entities (PT PMA) must register at the Large scale, so the rightmost column applies to most foreign investors.
