Overview: 

Scaling Food & Beverage Retail in Dubai with Odoo

Dubai’s retail scene thrives on fast-moving consumer goods, especially in the food and beverage sector. Supermarkets, convenience stores, and specialty shops deal with high volumes, short shelf lives, and intense competition. This makes real-time inventory, expiry tracking, and automated procurement critical for success.

Zolute delivers a fully integrated Odoo ERP solution for F&B retailers in Dubai, empowering store owners to control stock freshness, manage multi-location inventory, and optimize supplier coordination, all while remaining compliant with UAE retail standards.

To operate in this industry, businesses generally require:

• Trade license under food retail from Dubai’s Department of Economic Development (DED)
  
  
• Dubai Municipality approval for food handling and storage
  
  
• A retail space that meets hygiene and layout regulations
  
  
• Agreements with reliable distributors and FMCG brands
  
  
• Cold chain or temperature-controlled storage (for perishables)
  
  
• A POS and ERP system that handles expiry, reordering, and UAE VAT
  
  
• Knowledge of consumer demand trends and seasonal buying patterns
