We've opened multiple venues in Dubai from scratch — dine-in stores and delivery kitchens: site, licence, municipality and food-control approvals, kitchen build, POS, hiring, opening week. Launch is that path, run for you.
Opening week at our second site. The timeline on the left is the real sequence, with the long-lead items flagged.
Concept-to-location fit, rent-to-sales test, footfall reality check, landlord and fit-out negotiations. A go/no-go with the numbers behind it.
Trade licence structure, DED / free-zone choice, Dubai Municipality food-control requirements, kitchen layout approval, staff food-safety certification, opening inspection.
POS configured with real recipes and yields, inventory and purchasing set up so food cost is measurable from week one, aggregator onboarding, delivery ops.
Hiring plan, visa and onboarding sequence, one-page SOPs (multilingual where the crew needs it), opening checklists, first-30-days rhythm.
Most launches lose money in months two to six because nobody is watching food cost and payouts. Launch clients move into Run for the first year at a reduced rate, so the systems we built keep telling the truth.
Founders from Japan and abroad: we've done it here ourselves. Bring the concept, we'll bring the checklist.
