The central kitchen may charge 5% GST on the supply of food (fully cooked or semi-cooked) to franchised standalone restaurants only if the supply is classified under the applicable HSN code for food items taxed at 5%. However, it is essential to evaluate the exact classification of the food and comply with GST rules regarding packaging, labeling, and other conditions.

As per circular no. 164/20/2021-GST dated June 28, 2017, services of central kitchen are covered as restaurnat services and by that virtue 5% may be levied. But the circular fails to reason as to how central kitchen services to franchisee is a restaurant service.
