The idea of opening a restaurant in Dubai had been on my mind for a long time. The city is known for its impressive gastronomy scene, where the flavors and cuisines of the world come together. With the strong growth in the tourism industry and the increasing demand for unique culinary experiences, Dubai seemed like the perfect place to open my restaurant. But the thought of the legal and bureaucratic hurdles worried me. Luckily, I discovered SETUPCO - a company that specializes in helping you start a business in Dubai - and they helped me make my dream come true.

The plan to open a restaurant in Dubai

As a passionate chef and restaurateur, it has always been my dream to run my own restaurant that reflects my culinary ideas and vision. Dubai offers a unique platform for this: it is a melting pot of cultures and culinary influences that attracts both locals and tourists from all over the world. But opening a restaurant is not only a creative challenge, but also a logistical one - especially in a new country like the United Arab Emirates.

The legal requirements and complex regulations that apply to running a restaurant in Dubai seemed overwhelming. I also needed professional support in finding the perfect location, applying for licenses and meeting hygiene standards. This is exactly where SETUPCO came in.

When I approached SETUPCO, I was immediately impressed by their expertise in the field of business formation and especially in the restaurant industry.

I was particularly reassured by the fact that they had extensive experience of working with restaurants and the food industry.

SETUPCO guided me through the whole process. They helped me develop the right business model, turn my restaurant idea into an actionable business plan and create the right legal structures. Especially valuable was their support in applying for the various licenses required for a restaurant in Dubai, such as the food & beverage license and health permits.

Location search and restaurant licensing
