Preferred label	Services for providing food and drink; temporary accomodation
Definition	Class 43 includes providing restaurant services. Similar services, such as, catering services, cafeterias and snack bars or fast-food outlets are also in Class 43. In general, Class 43 services are those that prepare food for immediate consumption by the consumer. Class 43 is also the class for hotel services and services that are similar to hotels in that they provide temporary accommodation. The concern in this area is differentiating between providing those accommodations that are temporary, even though it may encompass a significant period of time, and those that are permanent and should be in Class 36 as a real estate activity. Thus, retirement homes are classified in Class 43. While the stay in a retirement home may be for an extended period of time, it is ultimately temporary. It is not the same activity as renting an apartment or buying a home that is intended to be one's residence for an indefinite period of time. It should also be noted that hotels can provide services that belong to classes other than Class 43. Thus, providing swimming pool facilities at a hotel is in Class 41 and the cleaning of hotel rooms is in Class 37.
