Restaurant vs. Cafeteria: Key Differences & Similarities

Mainland vs. Free Zone: Where Should You Set Up?
Your business location determines the licensing authority. Regardless of location, both require approvals from Dubai Municipality for food safety regulations.
100% Foreign Ownership – No Local Partner Required!
Previously, expatriates needed a local partner holding 51% ownership for businesses on the mainland. However, since June 1, 2021, the UAE Commercial Companies Law allows 100% foreign ownership for restaurant and cafeteria businesses. You can now fully own your business without a local partner!
Simplify Your Restaurant Business Setup with Our Expertise
Restaurant business setup is straightforward. It involves choosing the right location, getting approvals, securing your license, and setting up your restaurant.
Cost Breakdown & Investment Considerations
Setting up a restaurant is typically more expensive than a cafeteria due to:
- Annual rent fees affecting license costs (5% of the annual rent fee is added to the license cost)
- Kitchen setup & equipment costs
- Larger space requirements (750 sq.ft vs. 500 sq.ft)
- Higher labor costs (chefs, waiters, supervisors, etc.)
