I bet there was a fraction of this wasteful paperwork for that place in Thailand where I got laid up with food poisoning for weeks.
There's this saying, "safety regulations are written in blood". The vast majority of regulations are written reactively, after something went wrong. (US regulations forcing minimum lot, yard, house sizes are notable exceptions).
Especially for something as a restaurant, where 1) people eat, so hygiene and etc. is important; 2) people will work; 3) people will visit, so you needs lots of insurance, health, fire etc. checks and OKs.
