Why do you need a license to open a bagel shop?

It's to cover the number of seats and the hours, basically (there are separate certificates you need from ISD and the Fire Department), although you also have to provide financial and criminal background info.

Unlike with liquor licenses, though, there's no state cap on the number, so pretty much everybody gets one, unless you lie on your application (there was a guy in Dorchester a few years back who was rejected because he said he had no convictions when, in fact, he'd been convicted of a gun offense).
