Entertainment Commission City and County of San Francisco Limited Live Performance Permit About the Limited Live Performance Permit The purpose of a Limited Live Performance permit (LLP) is to permit live performances in establishments whose primary use is not entertainment. Examples include a restaurant with a piano player, or a café that hosts live poetry or music.

If your proposed use does not meet those conditions, a fixed Place of Entertainment permit, or a One Time Event permit may be the appropriate permit for you, subject to zoning law.
