Restaurant PRO Services Dubai

A standard DM food establishment permit renewal takes 5 to 15 working days when all documents are in order, including a valid Civil Defence NOC, current PIC certification, and up-to-date food handler cards. Our PRO team prepares the full submission package in advance to avoid delays caused by missing documents or inspector follow-up visits.

Yes. Make My Restaurant covers all 7 UAE emirates. We manage trade licence renewals with the relevant economic development departments in each emirate, municipality food permits, MOHRE labour approvals, and GDRFA visa stamping whether your restaurant is in Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, Ajman, RAK, Fujairah, or UAQ.

Yes. Restaurant labour categories including chefs, sous chefs, kitchen assistants, and food handlers have specific MOHRE job code requirements. Our team files the correct activity codes, submits medical fitness tests, coordinates Emirates ID biometrics, and manages the full GDRFA residency stamping process so your kitchen staff are legally documented and WPS-compliant.

Operating with an expired trade license in the UAE is a criminal offence under Federal Law No. 37 of 1992. DED/DET and other economic departments impose fines and can order immediate closure. Late-renewal penalties accumulate monthly. Our PRO team monitors every expiry date and initiates renewal 45 days in advance so your licence is never lapsed and operations are never at risk.

DET (Dubai Economy and Tourism) is the trade-licensing authority in Dubai. DED refers to the Department of Economic Development in other emirates such as Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, and Ajman -- each operates independently. For free zones, the relevant free zone authority issues the licence. Our PRO team files with whichever body governs your location and manages all inter-authority cross-submissions where needed.

For the majority of transactions -- trade license renewals, food permit submissions, MOHRE labour approvals, and GDRFA visa stamping -- our authorised PRO representatives attend on your behalf. Some biometric-only steps such as the owner's Emirates ID renewal or initial investor visa fingerprinting require a short personal visit to an authorised typing centre or immigration office, which we schedule and accompany where permitted.

The Wage Protection System (WPS) is a mandatory MOHRE requirement for all UAE mainland employers to pay staff salaries through an approved electronic transfer by the required monthly deadline. Non-compliance blocks new visa applications and triggers MOHRE penalties. Our PRO service registers your payroll under WPS, advises on approved payment channels, and monitors compliance to ensure your licence renewal is never blocked by a WPS flag.

Dubai Civil Defence NOCs for F&B establishments are tied to the premises completion certificate and kitchen suppression system service cycle, typically requiring annual renewal or after any fit-out modification. Our PRO team coordinates with approved DCD service contractors for suppression system inspections, compiles the renewal documents, and submits to DCD before expiry -- eliminating the queue time owners typically face when submitting independently.

Yes. Foreign qualification certificates and educational documents presented for MOHRE employment visa applications must be attested through the country of origin's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and then by the UAE Embassy in that country, followed by UAE MOFA attestation. Our team manages the full attestation chain for chefs and kitchen staff hired internationally, including legal translation into Arabic where required by the authority.

Tasheel is MOHRE's authorised service network of typing centres used for labour contract submissions, employment permit applications, and related MOHRE filings. Our PRO staff attend Tasheel on your behalf for all eligible submissions. Where MOHRE processes have moved to the Masdار digital platform, we handle online filings directly -- ensuring your applications reach the authority in the correct format without errors that cause rejection and delay.

Free zone restaurants in DIFC, Dubai South, Meraas destinations, and similar zones are regulated by their own food safety authorities rather than Dubai Municipality. DIFC has its own food-safety inspection framework; Meraas and Dubai South coordinate with DM through specific approval channels. Our PRO team identifies the correct licensing authority for your free zone location and manages the submission process accordingly -- preventing the common error of applying to the wrong body.
