Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a new office restaurant, failed to demonstrate it had been 'doing business' for one year prior to filing the petition extension. The evidence provided, such as remodeling expenses, only showed preparatory activities rather than the required 'regular, systematic, and continuous provision of goods and/or services'.
