Restaurant License in Dubai

Dubai, known for its diverse culinary scene and booming hospitality industry, is an ideal location for establishing a restaurant. To operate legally in this vibrant market, obtaining a Restaurant License is essential. This license allows businesses to serve food and beverages, whether in a casual dining setting, fine dining, or as a café. With a rapidly growing population of residents, tourists, and expatriates from around the globe, Dubai offers immense opportunities for restaurateurs to cater to a wide range of tastes and preferences. The licensing process ensures that businesses comply with local health and safety regulations, food hygiene standards, and zoning laws. With the right permits in place, opening a restaurant in Dubai positions you to tap into the city’s dynamic and profitable food and beverage sector.

Process

Process to Open a Restaurant Company in Dubai (Dubai Mainland Setup Process)

Begin your company formation journey with a free consultation. This step helps in selecting the most suitable location and business activity for your LLC.

We confirm if you have previously entered the UAE to create a profile in the Department of Economic Development (DED). This profile creation requires an active mobile number and email ID and allows you to complete the licensing process without being physically present in the UAE.

After profile creation and selection of your desired business activity, we proceed with obtaining initial approval from the Dubai Economic Department (DED).

Provide us with three preferred business names to check for availability. Once a name is available, we reserve it for your business license. As per DED regulations, the activity type must be mentioned after the chosen business name.

We draft a standard Memorandum of Association (MOA) approved by the DED. This can be digitally signed online or in front of a notary, depending on authority requirements.

If you have your own office space, provide us with the Ejari certificate to link with your license application. Alternatively, we can source a virtual Ejari for you.

Upon successful submission of all documents, we will receive a payment voucher. Once payment is made, the business license will be issued, subject to DED approvals.

Post-license issuance, we will register your company with immigration and initiate the visa application process for the investor/partner.

With your business license and Emirates ID, we can assist you with the digital bank account opening process, which you can complete at your convenience.

The estimated cost for opening this license is approximately 18,000 AED. This includes the license with two shareholders, initial approval, trade name reservation, and MOA signing. For a detailed quotation or consultation, please contact us through the inquiry form.
