HOW IT WORKS
Your F&B Fitout in 3 Simple Steps
Site Survey & Concept Brief
We visit your restaurant, cafe, or kitchen space and understand your brand concept, menu format, seating capacity, and budget. We review all DED, municipality, and mall developer F&B fitout requirements applicable to your unit.
Design, Approvals & Fixed Price
Floor plans, kitchen layout, material boards, 3D visualisations, all authority submissions, and a fully itemised fixed-price contract — all agreed and approved before construction begins.
Build & Perfect Handover
Our F&B fitout team completes all works under dedicated project management. Thorough snagging inspection, authority sign-off, and handover — your establishment ready to open on the agreed date.
UAE Regulatory Requirements for F&B Fitout
Opening a food and beverage establishment in the UAE requires navigating a multi-layer regulatory framework. Specifically, every F&B outlet must obtain a DED commercial licence and a Dubai Municipality or relevant authority food establishment permit before it can legally serve food or beverages.
The Dubai Municipality food establishment fitout inspection covers kitchen design and layout, food preparation surface specifications, ventilation and extraction performance, grease trap installation, hand wash station provision, and waste management systems. Furthermore, all food contact surfaces must meet specified hygiene and durability standards.
The Civil Defence NOC covers fire suppression systems in commercial kitchens, including wet chemical fire suppression over cooking equipment, emergency exit provisions, fire door installation, and emergency lighting. Additionally, for licenced beverage establishments, Dubai Tourism approvals are required before operations begin.
Real Express manages all F&B regulatory submissions as standard. Consequently, you never need to engage directly with any UAE authority during your fitout process.
Commercial Kitchen Design — The Technical Foundation of Every UAE F&B Fitout
The commercial kitchen is the operational heart of every food and beverage business. Specifically, a well-designed kitchen determines the speed, quality, and consistency of food output. A poorly designed kitchen, however, creates bottlenecks, safety hazards, and regulatory non-compliance that are expensive to correct after fitout completion.
HACCP principles must be embedded in the design of every UAE commercial kitchen. This means separating raw and cooked food storage, establishing clear cross-contamination barriers between food preparation zones, and specifying smooth, non-porous surfaces throughout. Furthermore, adequate hand wash stations are required at every point where food is handled.
Extraction and ventilation design is the most technically demanding element of commercial kitchen fitout. Specifically, the extraction canopy must be correctly sized and positioned over all heat-producing equipment. The make-up air system must balance the extraction rate to prevent negative pressure. Furthermore, duct routing must allow effective cleaning access.
Real Express designs and installs complete commercial kitchen systems. Specifically, we coordinate all stainless steel fabrication, extraction canopy installation, MEP coordination, and commissioning. Consequently, every kitchen we deliver is HACCP-compliant and municipality-approved.
F&B Fitout Costs in UAE 2025 — A Practical Budget Guide
F&B fitout costs in the UAE vary significantly based on the type of establishment, unit size, specification level, and kitchen complexity. As a practical guide for UAE 2025: a small cafe or coffee kiosk of 30 to 80 square metres typically costs AED 150,000 to AED 400,000 for a complete fitout.
A casual dining restaurant of 100 to 250 square metres with a full commercial kitchen typically ranges from AED 500,000 to AED 1,500,000. A fine dining restaurant of 150 to 400 square metres with premium materials and bespoke furniture ranges from AED 1,500,000 to AED 5,000,000.
A food court unit in a UAE mall typically ranges from AED 300,000 to AED 800,000 depending on unit size and mall developer specification requirements. A cloud kitchen of 100 to 300 square metres with multiple production zones typically ranges from AED 400,000 to AED 1,200,000.
