Anyone familiar with the UAE will understand just how big the food scene is here. Why? Because the population increases at very fast pace along with the GDP which allows people to spend lavishly on food. By 2030, Dubai alone is projected to be a permanent home to five million people. In addition, the influx of tourists reached nearly sixteen million in 2018 and it is expected to exceed 25 million in 2021.
If you choose to start a business in the food and beverage sector, with the right preparation, you’ll be in for a prosperity. Dubai thrives on its people who are the drivers of its economy. Many luxurious fine dining restaurants, glitzy nightclubs and bars and boutique cafes are popping up all over the city. This is indeed a testament to the prosperity that abounds in UAE. However, if you’re contemplating starting a food and beverage business or similar businesses in Dubai, there are a few things you may need to critically consider to increase your chances of success.
Choosing the Right Location for Your Business
Restaurants, bars, cafes and even nightclubs are some of the most lucrative businesses anywhere in the world. But then, we can’t overstate the importance of choosing the right location as this will greatly influence your business success. For a place like Dubai with so much to choose from, choosing the right location can present a challenge.
