Dubai Restaurants in the Digital Age Get Restaurant License Today: In this day and age, it is quite hard to imagine what the situation would be like without food delivery apps. There are busy days at work and lazy days at home where you just might not have the time or will to cook, nevermind getting dressed to go to a restaurant for a meal. That’s where the food delivery apps come to the rescue. Most restaurants in Dubai have either partnered with the popular delivery services of the city or have their own methods of delivery. Some of the most used delivery services are Deliveroo, Uber Eats, Careem Now, Talabat and Eat Clean.
Nevertheless, any restaurant would need to undergo filling a series of applications for the restaurant license process in Dubai. One would have to get several approvals for the restaurant business to get started. The restaurant permissions and documentation include a trading license, food and safety license and a Non-Objection Certificate (NOC) from the local municipality of Dubai. Other than that, one might need other specific permissions such as a delivery license, or a pork license and even a liquor permit if the restaurant chooses to serve alcohol along with the food.
The food and public health sectors take into priority the hygiene and have devised a food code that is paralleled to the international standards of food codes. The trade licenses comprise of all the details. The space for storage, ventilation systems, washing and cleaning areas, all of these are kept in check before any license and approval can be issued.
While dining in the restaurants has its own charm, obtaining a delivery license can benefit the restaurants greatly. In the course of a pandemic, where there is so much uncertainty and no one would step outside of the home, it is impossible for the F&Bs to actually gain customers. So adapting and giving into the digital age is probably the most viable option in order for the business to survive.
