Overview: 

Dubai’s Competitive Café & Bakery Market

Dubai’s café and bakery industry is booming, driven by a growing café culture, urban lifestyle, and tourism. From boutique bakeries to franchise cafés, these businesses operate with fast-moving perishable inventory, recipe-level cost tracking, and high-volume point-of-sale transactions.

Managing this efficiently requires more than traditional billing software. With Odoo ERP, café and bakery owners in Dubai can handle inventory, kitchen operations, costing, and front-desk POS from a single platform—streamlined and UAE-compliant.

Starting or managing a café or bakery business in Dubai involves:

• A valid restaurant/café license from Dubai Municipality and DED
  
  
• Approval for food safety and handling by the Dubai Food Safety Department
  
  
• Kitchen setup with ingredient stock, prep stations, and production planning
  
  
• Sales channels (in-store, takeaway, delivery aggregators)
  
  
• Tools to manage ingredient-level inventory, batch tracking, and POS billing
  
  
• UAE VAT-compliant invoicing and recordkeeping
  
  

A smart, modular ERP like Odoo ensures you can scale while staying efficient and compliant.
