How restaurant groups work in the UAE
Family restaurant groups in the UAE often run a mall branch, a street branch and a central kitchen, each with different rents and therefore different prices.
Teams are multinational: Arabic, English, Urdu, Hindi and Tagalog on one shift. Per-user interface language matters.
Owners buy over WhatsApp and expect quick answers; support needs to follow the Gulf working week.
Local reference: A widely used regional POS lists its Basic plan at AED 375/month billed annually, excluding VAT (checked 2026-10-18). Source: Capterra — Foodics pricing 2026.
