Ever been in that awkward moment where you're not quite sure if you should tip or how much?  In Dubai understanding the unspoken rules of tipping can add that extra layer of grace to your experiences.  Dining out: Whether you're indulging in gourmet delicacies or grabbing a quick bite, a tip of 10-15% on your bill (if service charge isn't included) is a good way to say "thank you" for stellar service. For those smaller, cozy café visits, rounding up or adding a bit extra when you're particularly impressed is the way to go.  Hotel heroes: From the bellhop juggling your luggage to the concierge making those last-minute dinner reservations happen, a small tip is a big gesture of appreciation.  On the go: While it's not the norm to tip taxi drivers, rounding up your fare or leaving a small thank you note for exceptional service can brighten a day.  Food delivery: Love the convenience of online orders? Platforms like Careem Food and Talabat let you tip your delivery heroes right at checkout, with popular tips around AED3. Every dirham goes straight to the rider, making it a simple click to spread some kindness. Remember, in Dubai, tipping is more about heart than obligation. It's a personal choice, a reflection of your satisfaction, and a cultural gratitude. So, next time you're out and about in Dubai, let your appreciation shine through with Vibgyor's guide to tipping etiquette.

Startup your business in Dubai

  According to Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism (DET), Dubai welcomed a record breaking 17.15 million tourists in 2023, surpassing the previous record of 16.73 million visitors in 2019 and increasing by over 19% from 2022 figures. This steady increase in tourism levels can be attributed to the government’s proactiveness to increase accessibility supported by a well-balanced calendar of events, which plays a vital role in stimulating visitor traffic and bolstering performance metrics during both low and high seasons. This approach has not only boosted the overall economy but also had a direct and positive impact on the F&B sector.   Read our latest report for a comprehensive look at the evolution and trends in the UAE's F&B sector: https://lnkd.in/gKe8mQyG

Are you a #foodie? And do you live in #Dubai? Then, you might agree with 69% of Dubai residents who believe that Dubai is the world's leading #gastronomy hub, ahead of #Milan, #Paris, #Istanbul, #Tokyo, #newyork and #Singapore. What type of food do you like? The five most popular ones in Dubai are Italian, Lebanese, Indian, Emirati and Chinese. These are only two of the many interesting insights from the second edition of the Dubai Gastronomy Industry Report, issued by the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism. You can read the full report in the link, but here are some other key findings: 🍽 Increasing number of international accolades, including two restaurants being named in The World’s 50 Best Restaurants, 15 in the MENA 50 Best Restaurants and 90 in the MICHELIN Guide 2023 🍽 Increasing number of varied outlets (now: 13,000 restaurants and cafes) making it the second globally in F&B outlet density 🍽 Increasing demand for eating out (2.9x per week on average) 🍽 Increasing demand for ordering in (2.0x per week on average) This makes me so proud! When I first came to Dubai with the responsibility to define Dubai's tourism strategy, food was one of the main verticals we identified to differentiate Dubai from other tourism destinations. Many events, like the #Dubaifoodfestival or Gulfood - The World’s Largest, Most Trusted F&B Sourcing Event show the love that this city has for food. I am now looking forward to #Tasteofdubai, happening in four weeks, and for which I have already bought tickets! https://lnkd.in/dTzymZry

Passion can motivate you but, passion alone won’t pay the bills.   Last week I got to evaluate a great speech by TM Jacob. The speech was about his personal journey from coming to Dubai as an employee to a restaurant owner. He shared his experience and learning. 1. Having a good adviser or mentor to set up a restaurant business is very important. 2. finding the right location to attract customers. 3. It may not be a 9 to 6 job, it will be more than 80 hours a week with no proper timings. No weekends or festival holidays. 4. It helps express creativity on a plate by creating a significant dining experience for your customers. 5. It also helps to fuel the passion for food and hospitality and it is more satisfying than opening gifts on Christmas to hear that you made somebody’s day after a scrumptious meal he had at your restaurant. Passion can motivate you to start a business or anything in life but, with the right planning, the support of a mentor, willingness to come out of your comfort zone and hard work not only pays bills but also gives satisfaction and great profit.
