Customers & market

The restaurant serves a diverse and growing customer base in the rapidly developing Dubai South community: • Dubai South Free Zone employees — steady weekday lunch and dinner traffic • Private jet clients from the nearby Al Maktoum Airport / DWC aviation cluster • Event attendees at nearby venues including Expo City Dubai • Local residents of The Pulse and surrounding residential communities • Delivery customers across the broader Dubai South catchment Dubai South is one of Dubai's fastest-growing districts, with continued residential and commercial expansion driving increasing footfall. The restaurant benefits from this organic growth trajectory. Multiple revenue channels (dine-in, delivery, catering) reduce dependency on any single customer segment.

Operations & team

The business operates daily from 10 AM to midnight with a structured, trained team: • 2 chefs, 1 pizzaiolo, 2 commis, 2 waiters, and 1 part-time driver • Total monthly payroll including accommodation allowances: approximately AED 30,000 (AED 360,000 per year) • Professional-grade kitchen equipment valued at approximately AED 200,000, all under warranty • Premises span approximately 116 m² (1,600 sqft), designed for efficient dine-in and operational flow • Rent: AED 116,000 per year (approximately AED 9,700 per month) • Other fixed operating expenses (utilities, licences, insurance, and platform/payment fees; excluding food cost and payroll): approximately AED 55,000 per year (about AED 4,600 per month) Cost reconciliation with the filed P&L: total operating expenses of approximately AED 531,000 per year (payroll AED 360,000 + rent AED 116,000 + other fixed expenses AED 55,000). Against AED 900,000 revenue and 25% food cost (AED 225,000), this yields the AED 144,000 net profit reported in the P&L. The kitchen is fully equipped and turnkey.
