The GST rate for restaurants depends on the type and location of the establishment. Most standalone restaurants — whether AC or non-AC — pay 5% GST and cannot claim Input Tax Credit (ITC). Restaurants inside hotels with room tariffs above ₹7,500 per night pay 18% GST but can claim ITC on purchases. This choice significantly affects pricing strategy.
Cloud kitchens and delivery-only restaurants also fall under the 5% GST (no ITC) category. When food is delivered through Zomato or Swiggy, those platforms are responsible for collecting and remitting GST to the government since January 2022 — the restaurant receives the order value minus GST.
