That depends on what you think of as a step, and what you think of as fees.
Is it one step if the single form for opening a restaurant is 200 pages?
Is it zero fees if the fine for violating a health inspection is $10,000?
The forms demonstrate that the new restaurateur has safe plans in place for traffic, seating, fire risk, equipment, food storage (dry, refrigerated and frozen), sanitation, and know the requirements for employment and training. If there's alcohol, there's licensing and training requirements. Are the kitchen floors both non-slip and impervious to water, with a proper drain? Are there arrangements for waste disposal, especially for used oils?
I'm not even in the food business; I'm sure an expert can tell you much more.
