Food service establishments are not legally required to provide a CPR kit simply because they allow onsite consumption of food. The regulations typically focus on food safety and handling practices rather than mandatory medical equipment such as CPR kits. While having such a kit can enhance safety and preparedness for emergencies, it is not a universal requirement across all types of food service operations.

Establishments may choose to have a CPR kit as part of a broader commitment to customer safety, but the decision is not enforced by law for every case. This means that while it is beneficial to consider patient safety with first aid supplies in any venue where people gather, the absence of a legal mandate means it is not obligatory.
