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.

Which Indian cities do you operate in?

Our primary operations cover Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi NCR, Hyderabad, and Chennai. For expansion projects, we've supported clients in tier-2 cities including Pune, Ahmedabad, and Kochi, with remote consulting available nationally.

How do you handle India's complex regulatory environment?

We navigate FSSAI central and state licensing, GST registration, labor compliance, and municipal requirements. Our documentation systems are designed for multi-state scalability, ensuring consistent compliance as you expand beyond your launch market.

Can you help with aggregator negotiations?

Yes. Aggregator economics make or break cloud kitchens. We analyze your unit economics, optimize menu pricing for commission structures, and design direct-order strategies that reduce platform dependency while maintaining discovery benefits.

Restaurant Consulting in India

India’s organized food service industry is projected to reach $100 billion by 2030. Yet scale without systems breeds chaos. GGB brings Gulf-refined operational discipline to India’s explosive growth market—building restaurant businesses designed for 100-outlet expansion, not just 10-table survival.

The Problem

You’ve proven the concept. Customers love it. But scaling from 3 to 30 outlets means navigating state-specific FSSAI, GST complexity, regional taste variations.
Most Indian F&B brands stay small—not because the concept doesn’t work, but because they lack systems to replicate it.
Every month you delay, aggregator-first cloud kitchens eat your delivery market share.

The Solution

We’ve helped Indian brands scale from single-city to 15+ outlet networks across multiple states. Franchise playbooks, state-specific compliance, operational SOPs that make replication possible.

You stop being a restaurant. You become a scalable brand.

WHY 2025 IS YOUR SCALING WINDOW

Market Signal	What It Means for You
₹5.5L crore F&B market	Growing 9% annually—but organized share is only 35%

FSSAI digitization	State-level compliance getting stricter—systematize now
Franchise investor appetite	PE/VC funds actively seeking proven concepts to scale

FROM THE PRINCIPAL
“India’s F&B brands fail to scale not because of demand—demand is infinite. They fail because they never transition from ‘founder runs everything’ to ‘systems run everything.’ That’s exactly what we build.”

— P. Dayaparan, PMP | Founder, GGB Consultancy
