> don’t need government permission to start new restaurants

Zoning, construction permits, occupancy permits, patio permits, food licenses, liquor licenses, health inspections, dumpster permits, etc

All of those are normal things for operating any business, and are not limited in the usual case.

Liquor licenses notwithstanding.

There is no default-deny for getting a business license or opening a restaurant in a commercially zoned area, anyone can do it. Licensing and permission aren’t quite the same thing.
