Naim Maadad, the CEO and founder of Gates Hospitality, says new regulations needed to prevent oversupply of food and drink businesses in Dubai.
Dubai’s restaurant and café industry needs a series of taxi-style regulations this summer to prevent a potentially damaging oversupply of food and drink businesses in the city.
This is according to Naim Maadad, the CEO and founder of Gates Hospitality, which currently operates a range of outlets in the emirate such as Folly, Reform Social & Grill, Bistro Des Arts and Ultra Brasserie.
This year more than 500 new restaurants and cafés have opened in Dubai with many more set to be launched after summer as owners look to take advantage of the returning population, new arrivals and cooler weather.
