Preparations for the summer terrace season in the capital, which officially begins on May 1, should start in advance to ensure the smooth operation of terraces in accordance with legal requirements, said Yevgen Komarov, business developer and lawyer at GLOBAL LAW, in an interview with Poster Pos.
He noted that the procedure for submitting documents in Kyiv has changed significantly: from now on, it has been transferred to electronic format. The main change is the ability to submit documents through the new electronic portal “Kyiv Digital,” whereas previously this was done in person through the Administrative Services Center or its electronic office. The advantage of the new system is the ability to track all stages of the application and its current status in real time.
The lawyer emphasized that the process of reviewing and concluding a contract now takes place exclusively online and lasts up to 10 business days.
After signing the contract with a qualified electronic signature (QES) and paying the bill, the entrepreneur receives an information ticket with a QR code in digital form with the option to download it. The ticket is the official basis for the legal establishment of a seasonal site.
Instead of traditional diagrams or drawings on paper, restaurateurs must now draw the boundaries of the site directly on an interactive map within the portal.
To submit documents through the service portal, you must log in using a QES, fill out an online application, and upload the required set of documents in PDF format. The list of required documents includes a copy of the extract from the Unified State Register, an order appointing the director or the minutes of the general meeting, the head’s RNOICP, documents of title or a lease agreement for the premises, as well as four recent photographs of the location from different angles. If the documents are submitted by an authorized representative, a power of attorney is required. The applicant must also indicate the exact dimensions of the site, bank details, and attach a plan with a reference to the location and indication of the width of the passage for pedestrians.
Komarov also reminded about the important conditions for placing terraces. In particular, the site may only be installed near the facade of the establishment, and the minimum width of the pedestrian passage must be at least 1.8 m. It is prohibited to place structures on the roadway, lawns, closer than 20 m to intersections and public transport stops. The structure of the platform must be safe, easy to dismantle, and accessible to people with disabilities. Awnings and furniture must not cover the facade of the building or its decorative elements, and it is recommended to use natural materials.
It is prohibited to install stages, barbecues, and dance floors on summer terraces, and there are restrictions on loud music in residential areas. If the platform extends beyond the facade of the establishment, the owner must obtain written permission from the user of the neighboring premises.
Poster Pos is a Ukrainian restaurant automation company. It is the developer of an accounting program in the HoReCa system, which is installed on tablets.
In 2026, Kyiv’s municipal enterprises plan to grow over 4 million annual, biennial, and perennial plants in their greenhouses and hothouses to decorate the city’s parks, squares, and streets, according to Valentin Mondriyevsky, deputy head of the Kyiv City State Administration.
“Even in the difficult conditions of war, Kyiv consistently adheres to its green city development strategy. Its own greenhouse facilities allow the city not only to provide stable landscaping, but also to maintain jobs and professional teams at municipal enterprises. This is an example of a systematic approach to urban environment management and a responsible attitude to the quality of the space in which Kyiv residents live,” Mondriyevsky said.
He said that the total area of greenhouses used by municipal enterprises for the maintenance of green spaces in the city’s districts is over 17,000 square meters. It is here that the painstaking work of growing flowers takes place every day—from sowing seeds to pricking out and preparing plants for planting in open ground.
Municipal enterprises independently grow a wide range of ornamental plants. These include tagetes, salvia, begonia, petunia, ageratum, gazania, verbena, antirhinum, coleus, and others. It is these plants that form the floral diversity of the capital throughout the season.
“Greenhouses and hothouses are a full-fledged production base for the city. Specialists work here who accompany the entire plant cultivation cycle—from seed to planting in urban spaces. This approach allows the city to plan greening systematically and ensure the quality of plants for parks and squares in Kyiv,” said Pavlo Ivanov, Director of the Department of Environmental Protection and Climate Change Adaptation.
Municipal greenhouse farms also perform an educational function. In 2025, educational excursions and training events for students and schoolchildren were held on their territory.
The Department emphasizes that the development of its own greenhouses is an important part of the capital’s environmental policy and an investment in a comfortable and green environment in Kyiv.
In 2025, more than 4.5 million flowers were grown in the greenhouses of the capital’s municipal enterprises, which made it possible to significantly renew and diversify the city’s green areas without additional costs for purchasing plants.
