How much does it cost to open a restaurant in Dubai?

Total investment varies significantly by format. A cloud kitchen can launch for AED 150,000 to AED 300,000. A small cafe or QSR starts at AED 300,000 to AED 500,000. A mid-range casual dining restaurant typically requires AED 700,000 to AED 1.5 million. Premium fine dining can exceed AED 3 million.

How long does it take to open a restaurant in Dubai?

From concept to opening, the typical timeline is 4 to 6 months for a standard restaurant. With experienced project management and parallel processing of permits, this can be compressed to 90 days for simpler formats. Cloud kitchens can launch in 8 to 12 weeks.

What is HACCP certification?

HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points. It is a systematic food safety management framework that identifies, evaluates, and controls food safety hazards throughout the production process. HACCP certification demonstrates that your restaurant meets internationally recognized food safety standards.

What is a cloud kitchen?

A cloud kitchen, also known as a ghost kitchen or dark kitchen, is a commercial food production facility designed exclusively for delivery orders with no dine-in service. Cloud kitchens allow operators to run multiple brands from a single location, significantly reducing overhead costs compared to traditional restaurants.

How do I franchise my restaurant concept?

Franchising requires a proven, profitable, and replicable concept. The key steps include documenting all operations in a comprehensive franchise operations manual, developing a legal framework with franchise agreements, creating training programmes, establishing supply chain protocols, and building a franchise sales and support infrastructure.

My restaurant is losing money. Can it be saved?

In most cases, yes. GGB Consulting has successfully turned around restaurants that were losing AED 50,000 or more per month. The key is rapid diagnosis of the core issues followed by focused intervention across operations, costs, menu, marketing, and staff performance through our structured 90-day turnaround programme.

Restaurant POS Integration & Tech Stack

We provide complete POS integration services tailored to your business needs, ensuring real-time data syncing, seamless order management, and enhanced customer experience. Our solutions help reduce manual errors, improve sales tracking, and offer powerful insights through centralized reporting. Whether you’re a small café or a multi-branch chain, our expert team ensures smooth installation, training, and support for reliable system performance. Upgrade your operations with smart POS integration and take control of your business like never before.

THE PROBLEM

Your POS doesn’t talk to inventory. Inventory doesn’t talk to accounting. Delivery orders come through 4 tablets, nobody reconciles.
Every month, you discover you’ve been over-portioning by 15%—too late. Your managers spend 8 hours/week on manual data entry instead of on guests.

THE SOLUTION

We integrate your entire tech stack into a single source of truth. Daily P&L by 9 AM. Real-time inventory variance alerts. Auto-reconciled delivery orders.

Most integrators just connect APIs. We architect systems that prevent the 22% over-portioning we found in Oman.

FROM THE PRINCIPAL

“Technology doesn’t solve problems—systems do. I’ve seen restaurants with AED 500K in software that still run on spreadsheets because nobody designed the workflow. We build the workflow first, then select the tools.”

— P. Dayaparan, PMP | Founder, GGB Consultancy
