DUBAI, UAE, APRIL 14, 2021 Restauranteurs in the Middle East are showing no signs of slowing down, Dubai-based F and B firm Restaurant Secrets Inc. (RSI) has reported.
Since the start of this year, RSI has worked with 15 individual restaurants on full turnkey solutions, menu development, auditing, and brand management, in addition to a further four brand new venues that are set to open this month and next.
"Despite being in the midst of a pandemic, business in the restaurant development world has remained steadfast. People still want to open restaurants and we are observing this firsthand with our current clients and incoming daily enquires," said Gabrielle F. Mather, CEO Founder, Restaurant Secrets Inc.
"We're also witnessing a rise in restauranteurs using our services to fine tune their offering, whether that be through key menu enhancement, new layouts interior design, talent requisition, franchise development or other, as business owners become ever more resilient to strengthen their business models. It's refreshing to see a return to detail, and I think the pandemic is a driving force behind this," she added.

"Since the pandemic began, many clients have come to RSI for headhunting, auditing and operational support, as well as SOPs and personal management services. Restauranteurs are paying closer attention to the details than they were before, which is a very encouraging. Were also receiving many enquires for assistance with feasibility studies in-line with the increasing interest in new openings.
