Navigating Restaurant Sector in United Arab Emirates

Rising Costs and Supply Chain Issues in UAE

The UAE restaurant sector faces growing costs, with a reported 6% increase in food commodity prices since last year, exacerbated by global supply chain issues.
Adopt more local sourcing and innovative supply management to cushion against this commodity price escalation, ensuring more efficient and stable operations.

Labor Shortages Affecting Service and Growth

Despite restaurants accounting for 30% of hospitality sector jobs, labor shortages loom, impeding service quality and expansion plans within the UAE.
Upskilling current employees and using operational tech innovations helps bridge skills gaps while stabilizing service without compromising ambitious growth targets.

Digital Transformation as a Growth Driver

The UAE's digital restaurant sales, growing annually at 12%, offer vast opportunities for legacy establishments to expand by enhancing customer engagement strategies.
Integrating advanced analytics and AI tools will improve customer insights, thus capitalizing on heightened digital engagement to boost dining revenues exponentially.

Tourism Expected to Boom, Boosting Demand

With Expo 2020 postponing to 2021 boosting an expected 11% rise in tourist arrivals yearly, UAE's restaurant sector is poised for increased demand.
Positioning outlets strategically near tourist hubs will cloak restaurateurs with visibility heightening patronage, capturing healthily elevated tourist turnouts.
