FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to help you understand features, workflow, and secure task handling with confidence.

What food safety regulations apply to my hotel or restaurant in Dubai?

Hospitality businesses in Dubai must comply with Dubai Municipality’s Food Code, aligned with Codex Alimentarius and HACCP principles. Abu Dhabi properties operate under ADFCA regulations. Non-compliance can result in closures, fines, and reputational damage.

How often should a hotel or restaurant conduct a food safety audit?

We recommend at least an annual full audit, with interim inspections for high-risk operations. For 5-star hotels with multiple outlets, a quarterly mystery hygiene programme provides ongoing assurance between full audits.

Can you help us prepare for a Dubai Municipality inspection?

Yes. Our pre-inspection readiness audit prepares your team for the Dubai Municipality Food Safety Department inspection — covering the exact criteria inspectors assess and giving your team a clear action list.
